Speaker Placement
Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left, Center & Right Channels
• Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video
screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart and 38 – 42
inches from the floor.
• If possible, locate the center speaker at the same height as the
left & right channel speakers (38 – 42 inches from the floor).
• If you must place the center speaker above or below a video
screen, place it no more than 2 feet above or below the center
of the left and right speakers. This will maintain consistent
tonality between all 3 front channel speakers.
• The main listening position should be between 8 and 12 feet
away from the speakers.
Use Figure 1 as a guide.
