Speaker location determines how well your audio system performs.
Planning where your speakers should be located in your home is an important part of getting the best sounding audio possible. Whether you are installing speakers after the fact, or actually incorporating them into your home's building plans or blueprint, you should carefully consider the size and shape of your room, as well as the objects likely to be in it, in order to achieve an effective flow of sound from your stereo or television sound system.
Instructions
1. Draw a reflected ceiling plan, or obtain one from 's blueprints. Reflected means that when placed over the same room's floor plan, they line up, making it much easier for you to visualize the room in 3-D. If you draw it yourself, try to get an accurate shape and scale of the room, and mark outlets and switches, so you know where the power sources are located.
2. Draw circles or squares on the reflected ceiling plan that indicate where the speakers are to be located on the ceiling. Use a code and legend to mark your plan, so you understand and can read your plans when finished.
3. Mark on the plans whether the speakers are to be recessed or mounted, and if they will be wired into the room's wiring system, or plugged in externally. Also mark L (left) or R (right) to determine the channel for each speaker installed.
