Use in home cinema systems (ceiling or wall)
• Right, left and central front loudspeakers
For in-wall use, the right and left front loudspeakers should be placed symmetrically on either side of the
screen and at mid-height, facing the listening area, ideally to form an isosceles triangle with it. The space
between the two loudspeakers should be between 2.5m and 4m, for a listening area between 3m and 6m,
keeping approximately 50cm away from the screen. However, it is possible to vary these distances to find
an ideal compromise depending on the specific room layout.
The central loudspeaker should be placed as close as possible to the screen, above or below it, for realistic
dialogue reproduction (fig. 4).
If a micro-perforated (acoustically transparent) projection screen is used, the right and left front
loudspeakers and the central loudspeaker should be placed halfway up the screen, in the same horizontal
plane behind this screen (fig. 5).
For in-ceiling use, the right and left front loudspeakers and the central loudspeaker should be placed on the
same horizontal line, 0.3 to 0.6m from the wall. The space between the right and left loudspeakers should
be between 2.5m and 4m (fig. 6).
• Surround-sound loudspeakers for the 5.1 system.
For in-wall use, the surround-sound loudspeakers should be installed on the side walls, slightly behind the
listening area (0.5 – 1.5m) and at the same height as the right and left front loudspeakers (fig. 7).
For in-ceiling use, the surround-sound loudspeakers should be installed on the same horizontal line, slightly
behind the listening area (ideally 1.5 – 3m) and the space between the right and left loudspeakers should
be between 2.5m and 4m (fig 8).
• Surround-sound loudspeakers for the 7.1 system.
For in-wall use, the right and left surround-sound loudspeakers should be installed on the side walls, in the
listening area and at the same height as the right and left front speakers. The surround-sound speakers
should be installed on the wall behind the listening area and at the same height as the right and left front
loudspeakers. The space between the two loudspeakers should be between 2.5m and 4m (fig. 9).
For in-ceiling use, right and left surround-sound loudspeakers should be placed in the same horizontal line
in front of the listening area. The surround-sound loudspeakers should be installed on the same horizontal
line, slightly behind the listening area (1.5 – 3m) and the space between the two loudspeakers should be
between 1.5m and 2.5m (fig 10).
• Atmos® loudspeakers (ceiling)
For a 5.1.2 system, the Atmos loudspeakers should be installed on the same horizontal line, slightly in front
of the listening area (0.5 – 1.5m) and the space between the two loudspeakers should be between 2.5m
and 4m (fig 11).
For a 5.1.4 system, the front Atmos loudspeakers should be installed on the same horizontal line, slightly
in front of the listening area (0,5 – 1,5m) and the space between the two loudspeakers should be between
2.5m and 4m. The rear Atmos loudspeakers should be installed on the same horizontal line, slightly behind
the listening area (0.5 – 1.5m) and the space between the two loudspeakers should be between 2.5m and
4m (fig. 12).
