How High Should I Mount In Wall Speakers

I intend to mount the speakers on this 32 foot wall but could mount one on the mechanical room wall so that one would be on the base and one on the leg of the l shape created by the connecting walls.

How high should i mount in wall speakers.

In wall installed speakers. When mounting the speaker bracket to drywall or paneling use toggler tb hollow wall anchors also included in the panavise hardware kit. Also on my receiver should i setup as 7 1 configuration or 7 1 with rear height speakers. If you re installing 5 6 or 7 in wall or on wall speakers for a home cinema surround sound system.

A the compact speaker that you re referring to sounds like the prime elevation from svs. These anchors require 5 16 inch holes. As you say such speakers offer an alternative to in ceiling speakers and atmos enabled modules by providing a wall mounted option that angles down toward the listener from a position near the ceiling. They should be about as high as the left and right surrounds.

Place the front left and right speakers so that they re at or slightly above ear level when you re seated both equidistant from the main listening position. The front panels of the left and right speakers should be placed so that they are aimed directly at or immediately behind your seating position. Yes the speakers will become front surrounds eventually and they currently are if i want them to be but right now i am really just using them for l r speakers for the stereo. So now i will have 4 rear surround speakers at ear height and ceiling height.

Some speakers are designed such that their front panels are already toed in when the speakers are placed parallel to the wall. Correct the tv is not mounted on the wall so it may not be the correct viewing height however i like the custom shelf i have it on so it will probably stay there. The wall mounted ceiling heights speakers i will designate as speakers 7 8 on the receiver. I am also wondering should i mount them higher on the wall or lower.

For example if the distance from the front wall is 3 feet then the distance to the nearest side wall should be at least 4 8 feet for each speaker or vice versa if your room is wider than longer.
