The 2.1 includes 2 speakers in addition to the subwoofer, placed on the left and right side of the primary viewing area. Using the television screen as a zero degree point, the speakers should be placed approximately 22-30 degrees in both directions, along the TV-facing viewer’s line of sight.The 5.1 plan is more advanced, incorporating 3 additional sound channels. This 5 speaker set up augments the 2.1 layout by utilizing a center speaker in addition to side speakers. The center speaker is true to its name, placed at the 0 degree TV mark. The additional speakers should rest either directly to the side or slightly over the shoulder of the primary seating area, with a recommended placement ranging from 90-110 degrees, mirrored on the opposite side. For a true surround sound experience, the 7.1 plan provides the most sophisticated alternative. Picking up where the 5.1 left off, the 7.1 utilizes two rear speakers, sending sound waves towards the room’s center from all directions. The rear speakers should be placed at a 135-150 degree angle from the television on both the left and right.
