Home Theater System Speakers
There are some basic rules on how to place speakers for best performance.
How you shall place your speakers depends on whether you have a
HiFi set up or a Home Theater set up.
Choose set up in the pull down menu for advice on the best placement
for your speakers.
Your room - the forgotten component
Your room has a very important role in how your system will sound.
Bare in mind these simple rules.
- Too many bare surfaces can cause reflections that add harshness
to the sound or muddy the dialogue; carpeting and drapes help to
keep them in check.
- If you have a choice of rooms, avoid those that are perfectly
square, or that have one dimension exactly twice another; they can
aggravate resonance that color the sound.
- Center seating area between the side walls on which you mount
the surround speakers.
- The closer a speaker is placed to intersecting room surfaces;
corner, wall and ceiling, wall and floor, the stronger its bass
output (possible too strong in some cases) gets. This rule applies
especially to the subwoofer.
- Prevent furnishings from rattling or vibrating on strong bass
notes or sound effects.
