DC265 / DC365 COVERAGE & SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Audio Imaging: Ceiling or wall speakers can be used as pairs for stereo or used in

multiples for 5.1 to 7.1

multi-channel applications. Ideally you should place the stereo

or front left and right speakers as directionally balanced as possible to the primary

listening area.

A common rule is to position the front speakers so that the distance between the

listening position and the wall is 1.5 times the distance between the two speakers, but

the speakers can be further apart if you desire a wider sound stage.

In a typical audio/

video multi-channel setup, the listening position is directly facing the video source (TV

or Monitor) and the center channel is on a direct plane with the listener. If the listener

is positioned 15 feet away from that video source, then the optimal distance between

the left and right speakers would be 22.5 feet apart (15'x1.5)

Sound Coverage and Speaker Placement

Listener

The speaker imaging decreases rapidly the further the listener is from the speakers,

so an equidistant speaker arangment for multi-channel installation is desired for the

best results. Try to equalize the speakers distance so the listener is basically in the

middle of the sound stage.
