How to Position 5.1 Surround Speakers for Superior Sound Attributes
Surround sound plays a critical role in the home theater experience. Needless to say, 5.1 surround sound speakers play this part extremely well. Renowned American film producer George Lucas said that sound is 50% of the moviegoing experience. Which is undoubtedly true! Without an appropriate soundstage that matches your big screen TV or projection screen setup, you will never enjoy that magical immersive movie experience so much possible with today’s audio and video systems.
The latest multi-channel audio formats – coupled with today’s AV receivers, are capable of a truly immersive experience that is a far cry from that produced by two-channel stereo sound. Yet no matter which sound format you choice, you would not enjoy the best experience without a proper speaker system, correct speaker set-up, and adequate amplifier power.
Guidelines for Placement
Although different products from different companies come together with difference instruction manuals, here is an outline to how you can expect to place your home 5.1 surround sound speaker system.
Step 1) Place the left and right front speakers in an arrange of an equilateral triange. The front speakers should also be nearer to the television set than your viewing position is (i.e. your couch) unless you have no center channel speaker. Position the left and right front speakers in an angle of up to 30 degrees so that most sound seems to be coming from the television. This amplifies the actual surround sound you will be getting.
Step 2) If you don’t have a center channel speaker, place the front speakers next to the television.
Step 3) Place the center channel speaker close to the television – on top or in the same cabinet if possible.
Step 4) Now for the subwoofer. You should place the subwoofer at almost anywhere in the room that has sufficient space for it. Experiment with subwoofer placement. Look for a location that results in clean, tight bass. Ideally, you shouldn’t notice that sound is coming from the subwoofer.
Step 5) Set up the rear speakers behind and to the sides of the viewing seat. Place them higher than the front speakers to achieve sounds coming from ‘on top’ for maximum audio experience.
Step 6) The rear speaker should also be aiming at each other, so adjust it that way. Also, take note that for accurate bass reproduction, move speakers far from the back wall and several feet from side walls. Place the subwoofer away from walls, too.
And there you have it! A home 5.1 surround sound speaker system – successfully set up and postioned in the best possible layout for optimal audio experience. But note: Speakers placed on or near a television must be magnetically shielded. And if not… you know what will happen… Let’s just say you would have to get a new set.
