Perfect Position for 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers

First: Place your Front Left and Front Right speakers in equal distance from where you will be seated.
  • The speakers should be 45-60 degrees apart on either side of the TV screen. (draw a triangle from your seating area to both speakers.)
Second: Place the center speaker above or below the TV

Third: Place the surround speakers in place (Left & Right Rear).
  • They should be even or slightly behind your seating area and about 2 feet above ear level.
    • If you are using direct radiating speakers the best place is behind you because the sound is directed forward. To diffuse the sound aim the speakers towards the front wall. If you face them toward you you will not receive the surround sound your listening for.
Finally: Place the sub woofer along the front wall. After you have hooked it up play some bass heavy music and adjust the placement of the sub woofer until it sounds the best to you.
