Speaker Placement

Stereo Speaker Placement
• Place the left and right speakers on the same wall, 6 – 10 feet
(1.8m – 3m) apart and 3 – 4 feet (0.9m – 1.2m) from the floor
The main listening position should be as close to midway
between the speakers as possible.
• If the listeners will be standing, mount the speakers 5 feet
(1.5m) from the floor to keep them at the listeners' ear height.
• The main listening position should be 4 – 10 feet (1.2m – 3m)
away from the speakers.
• Pivoting the tweeter of each speaker directly towards the listen-
ing position will help maximize the stereo soundstage.

Locate the center speaker as close to the same height as the left
& right channel speakers as possible. If you must place the
center speaker above or below a video screen, we recommend
placing it no more than 2 feet (0.6m) above or below the center
of the left and right speakers. This will help maintain consistent
tonality between all three front channel speakers.
Use Figure 2 as a guide.
L e f t & R i g h t S u r r o u n d S p e a k e r s : Place the left and right
surround speakers directly to the sides of the listening position,
at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the floor.
Surround Back Speakers (7.1-Channel System): Place the
surround back speakers in the rear wall,
(0.9m – 1.8m) apart and at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the floor.
