Speaker Placement
Home Theater Speaker Placement
Left, Center & Right Channels
• Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video
screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart and  38 – 42
inches from the floor.
• If possible, locate the center speaker at the same height as the
left & right channel speakers (38 – 42 inches from the floor).
• If you must place the center speaker above or below a video
screen, place it no more than 2 feet above or below the center
of the left and right speakers. This will maintain consistent
tonality between all 3 front channel speakers.
• The main listening position should be between 8 and 12 feet
away from the speakers.
Use 
Figure 1 as a guide.
Surround
Speakers (5.1-

Locate the surround
channel speakers on
the side walls 2 – 6
feet behind the listen-
ing position, at least 5
feet from the floor. Use
Figure 2 as a guide.

Stereo (2-Channel) Placement
• Place the left and right speakers anywhere from 6 feet to 10
feet apart, with the main listening position as close to midway
between the speakers as possible.
• The speakers should be at least 2 feet away from the side walls.
• The main listening position should be between 4 and 10 feet
away from the speakers.
• In most cases pivoting the tweeter of each speaker directly
towards the main listening position will help maximize the
stereo soundstage.
Use the left and right speaker placement in 
Figure 1 as a guide.
