SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Distributed Audio Placement (Mono signal)
All Sonance Symphony TR- and TSQ-series speaker models have very smooth and
predictable off-axis response, so they provide excellent coverage in distributed
audio systems from a wide variety of installation locations. The chart in Figure 1
shows how far apart the speakers can be placed at different ceiling heights while
still providing good coverage (as shown in Figure 2 ). The distances are based on
ear heights of 62” for standing listeners and 40” for seated listeners.
Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left, Center & Right Speakers (see Figure 3)
• Place the left, center and right speakers from 1 foot to 2 feet in front of the
video screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart, with the center channel
speaker as close to midway between the left and right speakers as possible.
• The main listening position should be between 4 and 10 feet away from the
speakers.
Surround Speakers (5.1-Channel System — see Figure 3 )
• Locate the left and right surround speakers on the ceiling between 2 feet and
6 feet behind the listening position. The speakers should be between 6 feet and
10 feet apart.
Surround Speakers (7.1-Channel System —
see Figure 4
)
• Left & Right Surround Speakers: Place the left and right surround
speakers directly to the sides of the listening position, between 6 feet and 10
feet apart.
• Surround Back Speakers: Place the surround back speakers between 2
feet and 6 feet behind the listening position. The surround back speakers should
be closer together than the left and right surround speakers — between 3 feet
and 6 feet apart.
