3.0 SPEAKER POSITIONING
3.1 SPEAKERS
Your MRX/AVM, depending on the model, allows connection of anywhere from 2-channels (front left and right speakers
with no subwoofer) to 9.4.6-channels (a nine- speaker surround sound system with four subwoofers and six height
speakers). When setting up your speakers, care should be taken to achieve the best possible immersive audio
experience.
Front Left & Right
The front speakers are what you hear when listening to 2 channel recordings but also play a large part in your home
theater setup along with the centre channel playing the majority of content. If using listening to music without a
subwoofer it is advised to use full range front speakers.
Center
The center channel is the most important speaker in a home theater system, as the center channel reproduces almost
all of the dialogue and a large portion of the front speaker information. The center channel speaker must be accurate,
recommended for use as a center speaker, and mate well with the front speakers. The center channel is not the place
to cut corners.
Surround Left & Right / Back Left & Right
Surround and back speakers reproduce the information that makes sounds wrap around your home theater space.
Subwoofer(s)
With any surround sound system, you will need one or more high-quality subwoofers (the .1 in 5.1- or 7.1.4-channel
surround systems). Most movie soundtracks contain large amounts of bass information as part of the LFE (Low
Frequency Effect) track that sends information directly to your subwoofer. Good subwoofers will provide a foundation
for the rest of the system and add “weight” to music.
Height 1 and Height 2
Up to six height speakers (the .2 and .4 in 5.1.2- and 7.1.4-channel surround systems) can be connected to allow 3-
dimensional Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound. Height speakers reproduce the information that makes it sound
as if planes are flying over your head and other similar effects.
