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 (which corresponds to the
height of your ears when you’re seated on
a couch or chair).
• If possible, locate the left and right speakers
at least 18 inches away from the side
walls.
• Locate the center speaker as close to the
same height as the left & right channel
speakers as possible. If you must place the
center speaker above or below a video
screen, we recommend placing it no more
than 2 feet above or below the center of
the left and right speakers. This will help
maintain consistent tonality between all
three front channel speakers.
• The main listening position should be between 8 and 12 feet away from the speakers. Use Figure 2 as a guide.
Surround Speakers (5.1-Channel System)
You can also use Sonance Merlot M-series speakers for surround channel applications in a home theater. Depending on
your room’s layout, you can locate the surround channel speakers in the side walls, in the rear wall or in the ceiling, If you
are not sure which location will achieve the best performance in your room, contact your Authorized Sonance Dealer for
advice.
