(see diagrams). As a rough guide, speakers
should be placed on rigid stands about
15cm from the rear wall and at least 60cm
from any side wall.
Speakers should never be placed on
the floor (unless they are floor-standing
speakers), or in corners. Speaker drivers
should be at, or a little above, ear level
when seated. If possible, centre your
seating area between the surround
speakers.
Sound will depend on the acoustics of
the listening room so experimenting with
speaker positioning is very worthwhile.

Subwoofer

The location of the subwoofer will affect
the overall sound quality. Placing it next
to a wall or in a corner will often boost
efficiency and give a cleaner low bass
sound. However, all rooms react differently
and we recommend that you experiment
with positioning by allowing at least 15cm
clearance between the walls and the unit.
Speaker stands
The more firmly a speaker is held, the
better it will sound. We recommend the
use of rigid metal stands of 40–60cm
height.

Ensure that the stands and/or speakers do
not wobble. Properly damped stands that
do not 'ring' when tapped with a pencil,
will bring out the best in a speaker.
