Speaker Positions In The 7.1 Configuration (With 5.1 Ĕ 7.1 Ex Set) - Teufel Theater 1 Technical Specifications And Operating Manual

Speaker positions in the 7.1 configuration (with 5.1 ĕ 7.1 EX set)
If you have augmented your Theater 1 system
with an EX set (see page 7), you can make full use
of your 7.1 AV receiver and expand your surround
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
If the distance between the two rear centre
speakers and the listening spot is less than
1.00 m – for example, your couch may have its
back directly to the rear wall – we recommend
running the M 120 D speakers in dipole mode. In
an ideal 7.1 system, the rear effects speakers (rear
sides) are positioned on the side walls facing the
listening spot, and the rear centre speakers are
positioned on the rear wall (height: 1.40 – 2.10 m).

Rear
If the distance to the listening spot is larger than
1.00 m and/or you prefer to place the speakers on
stands, direct (monopole) mode is more suitable.
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.
