Alternative Subwoofer Placement Options Surround System Placement
Surround speakers are there to envelop three dimensional
sound that places you in the middle of the action. Ideally, your
primary pair of surround speakers should be placed to the left
and right of your listening position — either in line with it, or just
behind it. They should form a 90°-110° angle with respect to
your television. In a 6.1-channel or 7.1-channel system with
more than two surround speakers, or if side placement is not
available for your surrounds in a standard 5.1-channel setup,
consider placement behind your listening position, facing the
front of the room. Surround speakers should be placed high
enough so that the drivers do not fire directly at your ears when
you’re sitting down. As a rule of thumb, place them at ear level
while you are in standing position. Most people tend to over
amplify the rear speakers. This is not recommended as it can
overpower the front speakers. Most of the time, the rear
speakers are relatively quiet. They simply come on when there
are special effects.
Since every room has different acoustics, you might need to
experiment with the speakers aiming. You may get good
results by pointing them at the ceiling or toward the rear
corners of the room. If no side or rear walls are available for
mounting your speakers, try placing a pair of traditional
bookshelf speakers on speaker stands, slightly behind and to
the sides of your listening position. Avoid aiming them directly
at your listening position. You may also try any of our Sweet
spot, IQ Series and Imãge in-ceiling speakers.

Speaker Placement in 6.1 System
Position the rear center speakers behind from the primary
listening/seating spot and at about 6 feet from the floor.
Placing the MKV subwoofer close to the listening/seating
spot delivers more vibrations and subharmonics.
