Speaker Placement
(continued)
Front Main Speakers
As a starting point, place your left and right speakers at least 7-feet apart from each
other. The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the
distance that separates the two main speakers.
Center Channel Speaker
The Center Channel Speaker should be placed between both left and right main speakers.
Often this positioning dictates placing the speaker either directly above or below a
television monitor. Since some RBH Signature Series speakers are available with video
shielding, the center speaker may be placed in close proximity to a CRT-type television
without cause for concern.
Surround Speakers
The SI-744 is a dedicated surround speaker. This speaker should ideally be placed slightly
behind the listening position on the side walls, regardless of whether it is being used in
single or dual mode. Optimally, there will also be a back wall for the sound to reflect off of
to come back to the listening position. An optional set of SI-744’s can be used on the back
wall as shown in the diagram below. When using two pair, it is recommended that both
pair be used in the single-channel mode.
Subwoofer
Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity, and extension of
the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by
close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound
louder and boost
the very lowest
frequencies. Placing
the subwoofer away
from walls will
provide the least
reinforcement,
making the bass
sound subjectively
thinner than if the
woofer were close to
a wall. Good results
can usually be
obtained by placing
a subwoofer along a
wall 1-3 feet from a
corner. Experiment
with subwoofer
placement and
the sub-amplifier
controls to achieve
the proper bass
balance.
