Placing Your Speakers
Proper speaker placement is essential to realize the best sound from your system. The diagram and tips
given here are just a rough guide, for more information see pages 109 & 110. Also, it is very important for
speaker placement to read the instructions that come with your speakers so please be sure to do so.
Speaker placement
If you have a multiple speaker arrangement the placement of the speakers is extremely important. To
achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Make sure all speakers
are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. Some speakers are designed to be
floor-standing but others benefit greatly from speaker stands which raise them off the floor. Be sure to
read your speaker manuals for the best placement of the speakers.
memo
• When installing speakers near the
TV, we recommend using
magnetically shielded speakers to
prevent distortion in the color of
the TV screen. If you do not have
magnetically shielded speakers
and notice discoloration of the TV
screen, place the speakers farther
away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or
below the TV so that the sound of
the center channel is localized at
the TV screen.
• THX recommends that if you have
two surround back speakers place
them close together.
