Speaker Placement
SST Models
Because  a  single  SST  speaker  reproduces  both  stereo  channels
from  a  single  location,  it  will  deliver  outstanding  performance
from a wide variety of mounting locations where a pair of stereo
speakers  would  be  impractical,  including  hallways,  bathrooms
and closets. 
The  table  below  shows  how  far  apart  SST  speakers  can  be
spaced  in  distributed  audio  applications  while  still  providing
good coverage for standing and seated listeners (see 
Figure 1
).

Mount the left and right surround speakers on the ceiling 2 – 6
feet  (0.6m  –  1.8m)  behind  the  listening  position.  The  speakers
should be 6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart. Orient the speakers so
the tweeters face the front and rear walls of the room. Use 
Figure
2
as a guide.
SUR Models:
7.1-Channel Home Theater System
Mount the left and right surround speakers directly to the sides of
the listening position, 6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart. Mount the
surround  back  speakers  2  –  6  feet  (0.6m  –  1.8m)  behind  the 
listening  position.  The  surround back  speakers  should  be closer
together  than  the  left  and  right  surround  speakers,  3  –  6  feet
(0.9m – 1.8m) apart. Use 
Figure 3
as a guide.
