SURROUND SOUND SET-UP

For positioning the Micro 3001 surround left and surround right speakers, place the speakers to the left and right of your listening position. Angle them so that they point towards you for the best sound. If side placement is not possible, place them a few feet behind your listening position and face them forward.

ACOUSTICS OF THE LISTENING ROOM
The acoustical makeup of your listening room is key in determining how good (or bad) the sound is that reaches your ear. The contents of a room (carpets, curtains, furniture, etc.), its shape, and the material of which the boundaries are made, make or break your sound. The idea is to have a listening area where the absorptions and reflections are calibrated to attain, as far as possible, a neutral environment. While there are no ‘quick fix’ formulae to convert a room to an ‘ideal listening room’, here are some things that you might try to attain optimal performance.
In your listening room, clap your hands, snap your fingers, and jingle a ring of keys. If the resulting sound is unintelligible (muffled) and resonating, your room is inclined toward being reflective. In this event, you might want to: Hang up curtains/ lay a carpet or rug / introduce bookcases/ other racks. In the event that the resulting sound is too damped, your room is inclined toward being absorptive. You might want to remove some of the absorptive material (like those given above).
