Trapezoid Speakers Positioning enables an Endpoint Mixing® sound system to produce the best sound quality. It produces natural, highly immersive, and clear sound.
Please follow these two simple steps to set up your speaker system using the Trapezoid speakers positioning method.
Step 1 - Place your back speakers
Place the back speakers at an optimal position relative to the listening environment. Place these speakers like a pair of regular stereo speakers and adjust them according to the target listening position(s). If these speakers are close to a wall, please ensure there is some space for them.
Step 2 - Place your front speakers
Place your front speakers concerning the geometry of the back speakers to form a layer with some distance from the back speaker layer. The detail is depicted as follows. The basic idea is to enable a scaled-down triangle relative to the best listening position at about 70% of the distance between the best listening position and back speakers.
Points to note
The front-layer speakers work in tandem with the back-layer speakers. The system works best when the front-layer speakers are placed near the back-layer speakers. However, they cannot be placed too close to each other. As indicated in the above diagrams, the minimum is 20%, i.e., the smallest number in the 20-40% range. A small number, say 10%, is still possible if available space is limited but sound quality degrades below 20%. On the other hand, avoid other extremes and not place them far apart. For example, a common error is to put the back-layer speakers at the rear side of the audience like a 5.1 speakers system.
