Speaker Placement - Beale Street Audio IC6-B Installation Manual

Speaker Placement

When installing in ceiling speakers or subs, (or in ceiling anything for that
matter) it is always a good idea to find out what is in the ceiling before
cutting holes. Be aware of the location of plumbing, electrical and structural
elements that may affect speaker placement.
Stereo
It is also a good idea to locate stereo speakers so they are centered to
the main listening position in which the user/s will normally be located.
Whenever possible, try to position the left and right speakers at the same
distance from each other as they are from the main listening position.
Subwoofer
Subwoofers are omni-directional so placement of in ceiling subs is
somewhat less critical, but placement can be affected (good and bad) by
corners and walls, so try to find a location that will be somewhat unaffected
by placement.
Angled
If using the 'Angled In' speakers, be sure to position them so the speakers
are facing into the room and directed toward the main listening position.
Surround
Locate surround speakers according to the recommendations in the
surround processor's owner's manual
