Speaker placement
As the placement of loudspeakers is very important for accurate mix monitoring —
especially for multi-channel mixing for surround sound — you should consider speaker
positioning, angling and level calibration when setting up your monitor system. If
necessary consult the manufacturer of your monitor system for their recommended
surround formats.
The following diagram — which is to be read with Table 3 “Panning formats” on page 95
— gives you examples of loudspeaker placements for each panning mode. However,
they are only an approximation and should only be used as a guide.
Note: LCRS has a mono surround channel, which is often fed to two rear ‘satellite’
speakers.
