Home Theater

It is essential to use voice-matched speakers in any Home Theater application. Sound emanates from each speaker in turn, and all should sound the same. TheaterPoint speakers satisfy this requirement perfectly, and should be used in combinations shown in the following section.

Center Channel Positioning

A center channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the video display utilized in a Home Theater. In-wall center channel speakers should be mounted immediately above or below the screen as shown below. If using a cabinet speaker like ELAN’s THP525LS or

THP650LS as a center channel, position it on a stand immediately below the screen. A Center Channel speaker can also mount on a shelf above the screen - possibly in a cabinet or entertainment center.

Subwoofer Positioning

Subwoofers are considered to be omnidirectional. They produce low bass frequencies that are not especially localized. The human ear does not rely on these frequencies to place sounds in space therefore, placement is not as important as with other types of speakers.

Place subwoofers along the front wall of the room approximately 2-3 feet from the corners. Expect a 3-9dB bass boost if the subwoofer is placed directly in the corner of a room (called “corner loading”). It is usually not advisable to place subwoofers directly next to the seating position in a Home Theater.

Multiple Subwoofers

It is sometimes desirable to install multiple subwoofers for increased bass response in a Home Theater. Place the subwoofers equal distance from the screen in similar locations as shown below.

6.1/7.1 Surround Sound

6.1 and 7.1 surround sound systems utilize additional rear and/or rear side speakers to enhance the audio effects contained in a soundtrack.

Any of the previous examples can easily become a 6.1 or 7.1 system by changing the confi guration of the rear channels. The diagrams in this section show rear and side rear speakers only!

6.1 Systems

Typical 6.1 systems use two rear side speakers with a center rear speaker. Several logical combinations can be created using Theater-

Point speakers as shown in the following examples.
