Speaker Positions In The 7.1 Configuration - Teufel system 4 Operating Manual

Speaker positions in the 7.1 configuration

If you have augmented your System 4 set with an
EX set (5.1 ĕ 7.1 – see page 7), you can make full
use of your 7.1 AV receiver and expand your sur-
round setup into a 7.1 home theatre system.
Front · Centre · Subwoofer · Rear (Side)
The arrangement of speaker boxes follows the
same pattern as a 5.1 system. Please refer to
"Speaker Positions in the 5.1 Configuration" on
the previous two pages.
Rear centre
In an ideal 7.1 system, the rear effects speakers
(rear sides) are positioned on the side walls fac-
ing the listening spot, and the rear centre speak-
ers are positioned on the rear wall (height: 1.40–
2.10 metres).
If the distance between the rear speakers and
the listening spot has to be less than 1.00 m, we
recommend the use of M 450 D dipole speakers

instead of the direct-radiating M 450 FCR spea-
kers.
7.1 speaker placement: If you picture a top-view
geometry of your surround setup, the four rear
speakers should ideally form an isosceles tra-
pezium. Each side of the trapezium should be
at least 1.00 m long. If the sides have differing
lengths, or if the four rear speakers are mounted
at different heights, you can compensate for such
asymmetries by entering the distances of the in-
dividual speakers in the AV receiver/amplifier's
"Speaker Setup" utility.
