If you fill a room with high-quality speakers and turn them all on at once, you’ll get sound, but you’ll also get noise. What’s the difference? Front Row Theater has broken down how to combine speaker placement with reclining chairs to find the audio sweet spot and get the best home audio possible.
Finding the Sweet Spot in Speaker Placement for Audiophiles
Think of your music room or home theater like a bathtub full of water. If there are several waves of water moving in different directions, then they’ll collide and create more waves that collide with other waves and so on. Incorrectly placed speakers cause sonic waves to collide and create dissonant noise, just like waves in a bathtub.
With proper speaker placement, each wave of audio reaches a certain point, known as the sweet spot, at the same time. The result is clear audio instead of noise so you can hear the finest details of music or cinematic sound.
Finding the Sweet Spot for Your Reclining Chairs
Once you’ve found the sweet spot, you’ll want to stay there as long as possible. A comfortable recliner or lounge chair will help you do just that, but first you must find where to put it.
The simplest way to create a sweet spot starts with two high quality speakers from a trusted brand like Martin Logan or Paradigm so you can enjoy the depth of a two-channel audio setup. Next, you’ll want to place them both at a 60-degree angle towards each other. After you do that, the sweet spot should be the exact distance between the two speakers. In other words, think of the speakers as two points of an equilateral triangle. The sweet spot would be the third point of the triangle.
Meet with an Audio Advisor and Create a Sweet Spot in Your Home Theater
The example above is a basic setup with a single recliner and only two speakers. However, if you want to create a home theater audio sweet spot then you’ll be dealing with more reclining chairs and more speakers.
Don’t suffer through noise. Meet with a Front Row Theater Audio Advisor to find the best setup for your home audio system.
