As you may have deduced by now, the main left and right, center, and rear speakers are all located on the circumference of a circle with its center at the listening position. An easy way to get all the distances right is to use a piece of string cut or marked to the exact distance between the main left and right speakers. Attach the string to a mic stand or other convenient object at the listening position and use it to measure the distance from the listening position to each of the speakers. Stretched from the listening position to the speaker position the string will also provide a convenient guide for aligning the speakers so that they point directly at the listening position.

In this type of setup you can take full advantage of the console's advanced surround mixing and bass management facilities. C L R LFE OMNI Out LS RS 10 HS80M/HS50M/HS10W Owner's Manual
