Placement of the TriAxial surround back-speakers
Article summary
- Optimal placement for TriAxial surround speakers enhances sound field diffusion.
- Mount in-phase drivers facing each other on the rear wall for precision.
- Position Left speaker in the Right rear position and vice versa.
- This setup improves pin-point imaging in a seven-channel system.
- Enhance your audio-visual setup with the 1723 Tower THX for cinematic quality sound.
Our TriAxial surround speakers have side drivers, where the one firing backwards in the room, is out of phase with the other drivers.
Therefore when mounting as the surround back channels in a seven-channel system, the in-phase drivers should be mounted pointing at each other in the center of the rear wall.
Meaning, the Left speaker should be placed in the Right position at the back wall, and the Right speaker on the Left side.
This means the out-of-phase drivers are working in the correct phase with the out-of-phase drivers on the side channels.
Between them, this pairing continues to assist with placing pin-point images at the rear, whilst working with all of the other drivers to diffuse the sound field around these effects.
Frequently asked questions
What are TriAxial surround speakers?
TriAxial surround speakers feature side drivers, including one that fires backwards, creating a unique soundstage and immersive audio experience.
How should I position TriAxial surround speakers in a 7-channel system?
For optimal performance, mount the left speaker in the right position and the right speaker in the left position on the rear wall.
Why do I need to reverse the positioning of the back surround speakers?
This positioning ensures the in-phase drivers point at each other, allowing for correct phasing with the side channel drivers and enhancing sound dispersion.
What is the benefit of using out-of-phase drivers?
Out-of-phase drivers help create precise sound imaging at the back while working with other drivers to diffuse sound effects, enhancing the overall audio experience.
How do TriAxial surround speakers improve sound field diffusion?
The pairing of in-phase and out-of-phase drivers assists in diffusing the sound field, creating a more immersive listening environment.
Can you explain the importance of speaker phase in surround sound?
Correct speaker phasing ensures sound waves from drivers blend seamlessly, providing a cohesive surround sound experience that enhances spatial imaging.
Is there a visual guide for positioning TriAxial surround speakers?
Yes, the article includes a visual reference to help you understand the correct speaker placement for your surround sound system.
