Bai , manskie ug Envy, naka notice lang ko bai sa pics ninyo sa speakers, sayop ang inyong positioning sa mga speakers ninyo, especially the subwoofers.
In a 2.1 system pwede nimo i butang ang subs in the middle like a center channel speaker while the left and right channel should be at an equilateral triangle sa ears nimo and the other speakers, with sufficient space between the walls and the speakers. Usually in a 2.1 system, the subwoofers will crossover at120hz and below in a bell curve, na a pay direction ang 120Hz down to about 50hz, below 50hz kay you should not hear any direction. In a 2.1 system the subs might sometimes be giving you about 120 or even 150 hz so it needs to be centered to maintain the sonic imagery.
How ever in a 5.1 system, the sub woofers ideally should crossover at 80hz and below where direction is les and less unclear as frequency goes lower. So ideally, the subwoofer should be in the corner of the room to make use of the walls as sub-frequency' enhabncement. Ideally the sub would be outside the sonic stage sa sattelite. As th room gets bigger, you start to move the subwoofers towards the sonic stage. kabantay mo anang mga demo sa 5.1 system in stores nga naay chair in the middle of the 5.1 system? Well think of that as your sonic stage, anything outside that stage, your sonic imagery gets askew and unclear, kay demo ra man gud na, its near-field monitoring and not supposed to be played at louder volumes. If you want to create a proper home theatre sonic stage, you have to consider the whole room where your system is placed and not just a portion of the room. Satellite speakers act as boundary speakers and the subs should be placed at the corners preferably outside those boundaries where you hear less focused sound coming from the sub meaning dili kaayo klaro nga ang low frequencies are coming from the direction of the subwoofers. The sub-woofers are monophonic and should support sub frequencies for all the sattelite speakers not just the front and center so it should not have any direction.So for proper 5.1 set up, you have to consider the room in positioning your speakers, if you position it only in a portion of the room like sa kanang gi pang demo sa stores, dili ka maka full blast anang imong system and outside the sonic stage, mo bati ang tingog. This difference is what is identified as near-field monitoring (kanang sa demo sa stores) and full monitoring where in the actual room is then considered in speaker placement. As much as possible, the subwoofers should be placed in the corner where dili nimo dali ma discern ang placement of the sub-frequencies and they will seem to come from everywhere and the walls are able to help propagate the sub frequencies. When looking at specs sa sub nimo, ideally it should crossover sa 80hz and below to about 20 or even 16hz. kay 80 and above you hear placement or focus already but below that depending on the power output of the sub, wala na cyay directional focus. Ideally a 5.1 system should have sattelites that are full spectrum, meaning each satellite can deliver 20hz to 20khz frequencies. but that is usually not the case and the satellites especially the smaller sizes will only be effective up to 50hz or sometimes even 80 hz lang. In such systems the sub woofers are used to compensate for those frequencies ending up with crossovers ranging from starts of 160 to 80 hz.
In typical systems like the Z5500, the sattelites are 60 watts and will probably deliver down to only 60 or 70 hz, while compensating that with a higher 150 watts subwoofer with crossover from about 160 hz to compensate for the 50 hz absence of the sattelites. In systems like the yamaha, the sattelites are rated at 100 watts and will deliver up to about 50 or 40 hz thus requiring a lesser power 100 watt subwoofer crossing over at about 90hz.
So a subwoofer should be placed where there is no directionality, meaning you can hardly discern that sound is coming from there but it should be powerful enough to fill up the sonic stage. Putting the subs in a corner helps that while also utilizing the walls to propagate those frequencies and not giving directionality.
