Speakers; Arrangement Of Speakers - Akai AHC1000 Operator's Manual

The configuration and arrangement of a
surround sound system's speakers is critical.
For maximum listening enjoyment, refer to the
Arrangement of Speakers section in this manual
prior to connecting speakers.
Surround Sound Speakers
Front or main right and left speakers;
center speaker
These three speakers provide extensive
sound imaging and augment the dynamic effect
of the audio. A movie's principal dialogue comes
through these speakers.
Rear or surround sound speakers
These two speakers provide 3-D dynamic
sound effects,
atmosphere, as they add background sounds.
Subwoofer speaker
Provides rich and powerful bass, adding a
powerful dimension of realism.
Note: Audio recorded for the center speaker and
subwoofer will be assigned to the front and 3-D
rear speakers to obtain the
10
surround sound effect.

The ideal surround sound speaker configur-
ation may vary according to room size and wall
material. The figure below illustrates a typical
arrangement.
Hints:
Front or main speakers and central speaker
should be placed at the same level and in a way
that sound is oriented toward the listener's ears.
3D surround sound or rear speakers should
be placed 3' higher than the height of listener's
ears.
Subwoofer speaker may be placed anywhere
within the room, as its location produces little
effect on a listener's sensation to sound. To
obtain the optimum bass effect, a subwoofer is
recommended in home theater systems.
