How to Actually Place Home Theater Speakers?

Enjoying your favorite movie that too in the comfort of your home gives you a superb experience. It is mandatory to understand auditory range of your room if you actually want to take advantage of the home theater sound system.
Let us discuss here some details about speaker placement for getting best of the home theater system in your home.

Merely by just placing the speakers in a room won’t actually give you the best music performance. A home theater system generally consists of two surround speakers, left speaker, right speaker and one central speaker. Some of them come with an additional sixth speaker called the subwoofer.The home theater speakers from Bose are quite elegant which deliver premium sound for the music you listen to.

Central Speaker

This speaker should be placed on the television set that too at the center that is its best position. Just to utilize the room acoustics in a better manner, both the TV and speaker should be placed straight in front of the audience.

Front Left and Front Right Speakers

These create the actual sound effects and also background music when a movie is played so letting you enjoy the real home theatrical  experience. These two speakers and the central speaker should be equally distant from the audience. If you have a larger number of people in the audience for watching the movie then place the front left and also right speakers in line with the central one. They should actually go parallel to the front row audience.

Surround Sound Speakers

Surround sound speakers are meant to create such a musical effect around the audience which makes them feel they are actually surrounded by sound. They should be placed at the rear side of the main sitting area of audience, that too about 3 feet above the normal audience ear level. They can be placed on the side walls.
Subwoofer

This speaker helps to generate low frequency sound waves and also produces bass sounds. You can yourself judge whether its placement is fine or not. The volume of the subwoofer should not be kept too high. The best option would be to place one at the rear and another at the front end of the audience.

Hope the readers find this design convenient to place speakers as it may give them good performance. But it should be kept in mind that the acoustics of each and every room varies. A good performance can only be achieved from a home theater system only if placed as per the room acoustics and design.
