Positioning Center and Surrounds
Center Channel Positioning
The P-27C is a dedicated center channel speaker that should be placed as close as possible to the center of
your video display. In installations with large projection or display screens, the speaker is traditionally placed
immediately below the screen and positioned with an upward tilt. (See the section on “Fitting the Spikes” for
more information.) The degree of tilt will depend on many factors, including the size of your video screen and
the distance to your listening/viewing position. The center channel should also be placed equidistant from the
left and right main channel speakers.
Surround Channel Positioning
The P-27S is a dedicated surround channel
speaker that is used to provide sound for
the rear effects channel of a digital sur-
round system, or as additional speakers
in a multi-channel music configuration.
The placement of the speakers will vary
depending upon the installation and
the type of system configuration. The
P-27S is designed to be wall-mounted
and includes mounting provisions on the
back. Make sure you use an appropriate
size screw head and that it is anchored
securely to a wall stud or wall anchor with
suitable weight-bearing capacity. Never
use the wall bracket for mounting the
P-27S to the ceiling.
For 5.1 systems, the surround speak-
ers are traditionally placed directly at or
just slightly behind the sides of the listening / viewing position. They should be placed approximately 4-5ft
(1.2-1.5m) above the floor. This distance can vary depending on the configuration of your room.
For 7.1 systems, the left and right side surrounds would be positioned as described above for a 5.1 system.
Two additional speakers would be added on the back wall of the room and should be placed relatively close
together. In most cases, you should position them from 12”-48” (1-1.2m) apart. They should be placed at the
same height as the side surrounds.
