Should speakers be in the corner?

Should speakers be in the corner?

Obviously, you are not likely to listen from the corner of the room, but it works in the other direction too – a loudspeaker placed close to a boundary, or in a corner, will excite standing waves easily. So in general the best advice is to pull out the loudspeakers from the corners and walls.

How far should speakers Be corner?

Speakers should be at least 2-3 feet away from the nearest wall (especially if your speaker is in a corner). Many speakers have rear-facing bass ports. Positioning a rear bass port too close to the wall will reflect sound waves, resulting in time smearing.

What angle should speakers be positioned?

60-degree angle
Positioning the speakers at a 60-degree angle gives you the best ‘stereo image’ of these sounds. Dust off your old protractor and position the speakers 60 degrees apart. It can help to place a small marker at your listening position and work it out from there.

Should bookshelf speakers be angled?

The general rule is to put bookshelf speakers at 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock positions, angling them towards your preferred listening position. The tweeters should be at ear-level for optimal performance.

Where should I place my left and right speakers?

The two primary channel speakers, left and right, should be placed roughly 3-4 feet off the center of the viewing screen (feel free to shrink these offsets if you have a particularly large screen to contend with) and at roughly ear height with the listener.

How far should rear speakers be?

The recommendation is for the rear surround speakers to be around 135° to 150° from the listening position and roughly in line with the front left and right pair.

What is seated ear height?

between 36- and 38-inches
While seated ear height typically varies between 36- and 38-inches, it can vary significantly, particularly with recent changes in furniture design. For example, powered seating can be higher than this to accommodate its motors and other moving parts.

Does it matter which speaker is left or right?

But does it matter? For some types of audio, it doesn’t matter all that much. There isn’t really any fixed left and right in electronic dance music for instance. The producer might prefer a certain synthesiser whoosh to come from the left, but it doesn’t matter to the listener whether he or she hears it from the right.

How far behind you should surround speakers be?

The distance between the stereo speakers should match the distance that you are sitting from the television. For example, if you are sitting 6 feet from the television, then each stereo speaker needs to be 3 feet away from the television. The center speaker should be aligned with the center of your television.
