The Stereo Triangle

If the loudspeaker is going to be used for stereo applica-
tions, the optimum listening position should be at the top of
an imaginary equilateral triangle with the two loudspeakers
placed at the other two points of this triangle. The loud-
speakers should be aligned with the listener’s position.

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.
