Placing Loudspeakers - BEOVISION Avant Reference Book

A surround sound setup with the
BeoVision Avant is easy to fit into
your living room. Determine your
ideal listening and viewing position
by the picture rather than by the
sound. The performance of your
speakers is unaltered.
Preset the distances to each speaker
from your favourite listening and
viewing position, that is, measure the
distance to each speaker. The
surround sound experience will be
noticeable as long as you stay within
the area created by the speakers.
In a surround sound* setup, you will
have to preset the sound balance
between the speakers in your
particular setup, that is, perform a
speaker balance calibration. Refer to
the following pages for further
instruction.

Placing loudspeakers

It is important that you find out where you
will place your loudspeakers before you start
connecting the speakers. Once they are
connected, you can make the presets
necessary to give you the ultimate sound
experience.
The three diagrams to the right indicate
examples of BeoVision Avant and loudspeakers
placed in various types and sizes of rooms.
The following guidelines apply for all speaker
setups:
– The best placement for the rear speakers is on
either side behind your favourite listening
position.
– The front and rear sets of speakers do not
necessarily have to be placed in the corners of
the room.
– We recommend that you use your most
powerful speakers as your front speakers.
– If you connect a BeoLab 2 subwoofer, refer to
the subwoofer's own Guide for information
about placement possibilities.
*NOTE! This function is only available if your
BeoVision Avant is equipped with the surround
sound module.
