Surround Placement

Speaker positioning for multi-channel stereo purposes is ideally based on
a circle with speakers placed at 0° (Center), 30° (Front Right), 110° (Rear
Right), 250° (Rear Left), 330° (Front Left), with the listener being the circle's
center (Radius between 0.7-2.0 m). This ITU recommended configuration may
vary depending on the purpose of the control room (music or film). However,
it is recommended to create a symmetrical listening position with the front
side and surround speaker pointing to the listener's ear.
The distance to the surrounding walls should be at least 40 cm to avoid early
reflections, which can degrade the sound.

Stand/Wall Mounting

On the rear side, you will find two M8 (8 mm) metric strew threads for stand/
wall mounting. Further equipment (e.g. Omnimount) for mounting is also
available.
