Home Theater Room Set-up Part Two

Too many people purchase from speaker stores without knowing how to properly set them up. As a result, these consumers find themselves using the speakers in terrible locations. In order to know where to place your speakers you need to not only consider the dimensions of your room, but you need to also know what speakers are designed for particular frequencies and types of sounds. This helps you optimize your speaker placement and maximize the capacity of each speaker you own.

1.) Much of the music you hear comes from the front speaker. This also reproduces sound effects, and speech

2.) The center speaker plays the same role as the center speaker, but it is much more important. It drives the speech and music forward to listeners.


3.) The surround speakers are small but incredibly powerful. In the proper location they bring a more rich movie and t.v. viewing experience. Place them as shown. Though it is popular to try to put one at each corner, this does nothing more than using two flanking surround speakers, but it is more expensive.

4.) Rear speakers are perfect for full-bandwidth bass and providing great realistic sound. The proper placement of these speakers is incredibly critical. In the wrong place you will notice that the sound is pretty muddled. However, when properly placed and calibrated, these speakers lend a great difference to your home theater experience.

5.) The sub-woofer is a critical component of your home theater. You want deep, rich bass you need to make sure that your sub-woofers are in the right place. Most people make the mistake of placing their speakers in the rear of the audio room. This will still sound good, but again there will be an abundance of bass that won't be easy to overcome. Place your sub-woofers near the front of the room for optimal effect.

6.) Use these as the main measuring points in your room. Always try to establish equidistant points from the television to ensure that everyone is getting the same listening/viewing experience.
