Choice of speakers
The Chorus loudspeakers have been engineered to work with stereo systems as well as with home theater
systems. If you already own a pair of stereo Chorus loudspeakers and wish to purchase a complete home
theater system, it is of the utmost importance that you use the central and effect loudspeakers of the same
product line : Chorus. It is the sole possible condition to bring to your system a perfect tonal homogeneity
and a realistic and coherent reproduction of tri-dimensional effects within the listening room.
Central channel placement
Central channel speaker should be placed close to the TV-screen to obtain a proper placement and a real-
istic reproduction of the dialog. It could be placed below the TV-screen
(fig. F)
.
If a standard projection screen is used, the central channel speaker must be placed under the screen.
If an acoustically transparent projection screen is used, the central channel speaker can be placed behind
and at the bottom of the screen
(fig. G)
.
Effect channel speakers‘s place
The soundtrack mix for a film or music encoded in multichannel format is very complex and allows the
listener to benefit from a wide range of special sound effects, which require the use of effect channel
speakers. In order to obtain a realistic 3D soundstage, the placement of the speakers is decisive, even when
confronted with a restrictive disposition of the listening room.
For enhanced performances, the following elements should be noted.
Avoid placing the effect speakers too far from the listening area
otherwise the sound perception will be
altered. In order to obtain surround effects, with great sound density we advise you to place the speakers
against the sidewalls on each side of the listening room
