5.1 Speaker Placement

Satellite Speaker Placement - MUSIC
The recommended monitoring angle for proper stereo imaging
with music is 60 degrees between the left and right speakers.
The center channel speaker should be located on axis with the
reference monitoring position and both the left and right surround
channel speakers should be at an angle of 110 degrees from the
centerline. In most applications, surrounds used for music are
placed at the same height as the front speakers for a direct sound
field. See Figure 5
Satellite Speaker Placement - FILM / POST PRODUCTION
Although the above recommendations should work equally well
for both film and music production, there may be situations where
a more "film" optimized setup is desirable. To correctly relate
audio to picture, the recommended angle between left and right
speakers is 45 degrees. This narrower monitoring angle should still
yield a very satisfactory stereo image. As with the "music" setup,
the center channel speaker, should still be located on axis with
the reference monitoring position. Unlike music surrounds, which
tend to be direct in nature, film surrounds are usually positioned
for a more diffused sound field to simulate the effect of an array of
surround speakers used in a theater. For a single pair of surrounds,
this can be accomplished by placing them two feet above seated
ear height, to the side of the monitoring position and slightly
behind the mix position.
Satellite Speaker Monitoring Height Recommendations
It is recommended that all of the satellite speakers be placed at or
about seated ear height, as shown in Figure 2. If it is not possible
to place the speakers at or about seated ear height, please aim the
speakers at the monitoring position.
