Speaker placement is crucial for a quality home theater experience!
A side from all the Audio/Video equipment, speaker and subwoofer placement is the foundation for a true home theater experience. The shape of the room, paint, furniture, texture of the walls and color of the walls and furniture can enhance or distort sound in a room; therefore, the ability to evaluate a room for proper placement of speakers and subwoofers becomes even more crucial.Some of the basic factors used to determine the placement are:
Room size
Room shape
Speakers installation (in-wall, in-ceiling, floor standing, etc)
Speaker and subwoofer specifications
Primary viewing distance
Secondary viewing
To truly understand the importance of speaker placement, let us for a moment wear our physicists' hat. Sound behaves just like light. There is reflection, refraction and diffusion of sound in a room. If the speakers are not placed in most optimized locations, there will be dead zones as well as really loud zones in the room. This will cause some viewers to turn up the volume while others will want to lower the volume depending on the seating location.
