To start the speaker placement process for your surround system you should first find the optimal seating position in your room. Check out the instructions in my last post for that procedure. Also scan through the notes on reflections since I won’t go over that again here.
Once you’ve got your display and seating in place you can properly position your speakers. This will provide you with optimal sound for whatever you might be listening to. Whether you’re watching a movie, or listening to music while browsing sites such as http://www.o2.co.uk/broadband/, you’re sure to notice the difference of having your speakers correctly placed. We’ll start with the Center channel
Before you jump into moving the speakers around you should first experiment with your seating position. The seating position you use affects how you hear the standing waves of sound in the room. These waves of sound are present because of how your room is shaped. Certain frequencies tend to become louder in some spots and softer in others. The affect of standing waves is most noticeable on bass sounds, so keep that in mind as you figure out your seating position.
The subwoofer is my favorite speaker. This magical transducer enables you to feel the gentle 20Hz rumble of a distant building crumbling, or the 60Hz whack-in-your-chest of a kick-drum. No other device in a home A/V system can make music or movies come alive in such a unique way.
