Nov 17, 2004  Rear Speaker Placement for 5.1 Surround Discussion in 'Archive' started by rdopso, Feb 28, 2004. Feb 28, 2004 #1 of. This projects the sound more or less straight up to the ceiling and back down to the seating area and seems to give a pretty good rear sound that still retains reasonable channel separation.

Getting a loudspeaker system is just the beginning. Once you get everything home, you still need to set up your speakers for the best possible listening experience.

It’s this accurate home theater speaker placement that separates the truly dedicated from the amateurs. Others have written extensive articles detailing every possible way to configure a room full of speakers. Rather than go down that path, I will simplify things a bit to make it more palatable for the masses.

After all, I’m not trying to give you a degree in sound reinforcement, just give you a leg up in home theater speaker placement for your living space that approximates the surround sound you experience in the theater. And that’s what we’re really going for here—to get as close to that theatrical experience as possible. But there are huge differences in loudspeaker placement when you compare home theater speaker placement against a movie theater. For one, home theaters tend to be more reflective in their acoustical properties. A movie theater is designed to be almost completely “dead”.

Nearly all of the sound you hear in a theater is coming from the speakers. In the home, the room plays an important role. You also have a lot more speakers in a movie theater, often with several surround speakers along both the side and back of the room. And the front and center speakers are located behind a perforated screen, so that the sound emanates completely from the on-screen action.

While this is possible in home theater which uses a front projection system, it’s often not practical to place speakers behind a screen. The good news for you is that most people can move speakers around a room without much trouble or even having to break out the. Plus, if you’re still in the setup stage, you can try out several locations to find one that’s right for you before you do a final install. Getting Started—How Many Speakers Are You Using? Whether you’re planning your home theater, or you have already purchased speakers, a big question is: How many speakers are you placing in the room? This is a basic starting point, but it will allow you to jump down to the appropriate part of this article to fit your particular application.

You may want to read through the whole thing, however, as we do explain ways to configure your system so that it’s ready for a potential future upgrade. You may also want to see our article on for tips on when and how to go from one configuration to another. Stereo Two-channel Speaker Placement The most basic audio system is a stereo system. But that doesn’t mean you can just throw speakers into a room and expect great sound. For one, there is an audio characteristic called “imaging” that deals with how the stereo separation is perceived by the listener.

This also affects the “soundstage” which is how you can locate individual sounds within the stereo image. A good soundstage will let you, for example, point out where the cellist is sitting when listening to a live recording of quartet. You affect both soundstage and imaging by a combination of the distance between the speakers, the distance from the speakers to the listener, and the angle at which the speakers are “toed-in” or pointed at the center listening position. We can help with the initial layout, however we recommend you experiment with loudspeaker toe-in to get the best sound. Some speakers do better pointed nearly straight ahead, perpendicular to the rear wall, while others want to be pointed nearly directly at the center “hot” seat. Backing up, here are some recommendations for setting up stereo speakers in a room.

Speaker placement for 2-channel listening Start by setting up your front speakers so that you form a triangle with the primary (center) listening position. Make sure you give your speakers enough room between them that they can create a nice stereo image. Lots of times we see people place their speakers directly to the right and left of their television. While this may meet the aesthetic requirements of your spouse, a 42-inch or 50-inch television is not going to provide enough stereo separation for your music to sound good, nor will it allow for movies to have that expansive theatrical sound. Once you get the distance and positioning correct, experiment with the toe-in of the speakers. Start with the speakers only slightly toed-in (angled towards the center seated position) and play back a piece of music you are familiar with—preferably a live track so you can attempt to ascertain the location of various performers on stage.
