garyclayton Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Question for rear speaker location for surround sound. What would be in a smaller room (15x15) the optimum height and distance apart from one another for my rear speakers. Thanks in advance..

wuzzzer Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Surrounds should be a foot or so above your ears when seated. If you're talking actual rear surrounds (like in a 7.1 setup) with the dimensions of your room I'd place them about three feet from the side walls. If you're talking surrounds in a 5.1 setup, in your room they should be mounted directly to your side when seated, facing inward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance.. what kind of speakers are we talking about - the bigger the speakers , say a 10-12 inch woofer , you can go as high as 1 or 2 feet above ear level - the smaller the speakers , 8 inches or lower , not higher than a few inches above ear level if you want to get the optimal effect and the closest to you would be even better , given the smaller size of the speakers - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
