What helps minimize the rooms standing waves?
Speaker installation begins by placing the main speakers at the desired locations, remembering that the speakers must be symmetrically placed with reference to the axis that connects the center speaker with the listening position. An excellent rule of thumb for main speaker placement is the rule of the odd numbers, which helps to minimize standing waves. We divide the length of the room by an odd number (three, five, seven, etc.) and we place the front speakers at a distance from the back wall equal to the result of the division. We do the same for the width.
