Proper placement of the
speakers is an important
step in obtaining the most
realistic soundstage possible.
These recommendations are
for the optimum placement
of the loudspeakers. Use
these placement recommen-
dations as a guide. Slight
variations will not diminish
your listening pleasure.
The front speakers should be
placed the same distance
from each other as they are
from the listening position.
They should be placed at
about the same height from
the floor as the listeners’
ears will be.

In a home-theater configura-
tion, the two surround speak-
ers should be placed slightly
behind the listening position
and, ideally, should face each
other and be at a level higher
than the listeners’ ears. If that
is not possible, they may be
placed in a wall behind the
listening position, facing for-
ward. The surround speakers
should not call attention to
themselves. They should
provide a diffuse, ambient
sound accompanying the
main program material
heard in the front speakers.
