The following data concern an “ideal home cinema”, in
which the viewer or the listener sits in a central position
at a suffi cient distance in front of the television (see the
adjacent graphic) and no objects (tables or the like) are
located in between. Unfortunately, the room, furnish-
ings or one’s partner do not always allow for optimum
arrangement.
Modern AV receivers offer a variety of possibilities for
electronically compensating losses associated with the
arrangement. The following general rule applies: Based
on our recommendations you can always experiment on
what works best in your listening room in terms of sound
and appearance. Let your ears (and eyes) be the judge!
Center
If possible, place the center speaker directly above or
under the television. Use the brackets on the back of the
speaker for wall mounting.
Front
Two of the satellites 햲 are set up as front speakers to the
right and left of the television. They should be in line with
the center speaker and form an equilateral triangle with
the listener – the so-called stereo triangle (distance from
the listener = distance between the speakers). The speak-
ers should project sound directly into the room or slightly
towards the listener.
Rear
The two remaining satellites 햲 are set up as “rear”
speakers to the side (a) or to the back (b) of the listener.
The distance to the listener should be at least 100 cm.
Subwoofer
You can place the subwoofer on the fl oor close to the
television. Often a location between the front speakers is
ideal.
