Ceiling mounted surround speaker placement.

Rear surround speakers in a 7 1 system dedicated rear surround speakers are placed behind the primary seating position for enhanced rear panning effects. If your speakers tweeters can swivel aim them toward your seating position. It depends that either you can hang these speakers on walls or either place them on speaker stands. The adjustment or placement of these speakers depends upon your room type.

You ll want your surrounds one to two feet above ear level to get the best sound effects. Place the speaker and threaded stud mount into position against the bracket. If you re installing 5 6 or 7 ceiling speakers for a home cinema surround sound system. Your surround speakers should be spaced about the same distance apart as the front left and right speakers.

If side placement isn t practical place your surround speakers a few feet behind your listening position and face them forward. Place the rear surround speakers at 135 150 degrees off axis relative to the primary seating position. We recommend installing in wall and ceiling speakers at least 18 24 inches away from an adjacent wall or ceiling. Place the front left and right speakers at an equal distance from your main listening position in front of your tv lcr ceiling speakers are the best option for this although a good ceiling speaker with a pivoting tweeter will also work.

If you re using an existing surround sound system and your ceiling speakers are simply an addition then it might be worth just placing them in the middle of the room. Place your surround speakers 1 to 2 feet above ear level for immersive special effects. But ear level placement for surround speakers actually detracts from your movie watching experience. Place it at ear level.

Secure the speaker using the included 2 inch long mounting. If the room is designed in such a way that you can hang all the speakers easily then go for it.
