Yamaha HS 50M - Manual (Page 10)

English
10 HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner’s Manual
100° and 120°, as shown in the diagram above. The center speaker should be placed precisely midway between the main
front speakers, at the same distance from the listening position as the other speakers (which means that ideally it will be a bit
behind the main left and right speakers.
As you may have deduced by now, the main left and right, center, and rear speakers are all located on the circumference
of a circle with its center at the listening position. An easy way to get all the distances right is to use a piece of string cut or
marked to the exact distance between the main left and right speakers. Attach the string to a mic stand or other convenient
object at the listening position and use it to measure the distance from the listening position to each of the speakers.
Stretched from the listening position to the speaker position the string will also provide a convenient guide for aligning the
speakers so that they point directly at the listening position.
MG-series Mixer Setup
If you’re connecting to a standard mixer that is not specifically
designed for surround production, your main L and R speakers
can be connected to any convenient stereo output pair via the
HS10W subwoofer, while the center and rear speakers will be
connected to individual output channels.
Example: MG16/6FX
Digital Mixer Setup
If you’re connecting your HS-series speakers to a mixing console
that features built-in surround handling capability — such as the
Yamaha DM2000, DM1000, or 02R96 — each speaker will be
connected directly to the console output dedicated to handling
that particular surround channel. In this type of setup you can take
full advantage of the console’s advanced surround mixing and bass
management facilities.
