I. Pre-Installation Preparation
Determine Room Layout
Measure the room dimensions and plan the placement of audio equipment.
Ensure the room has sufficient space to accommodate the audio equipment, with proper ventilation and cable routing space.
Select Audio System
Choose the appropriate audio system (e.g., 5.1-channel, 7.1-channel, or Dolby Atmos) based on room size and budget.
Cammica Technology’s home theatre audio series offers a variety of options to meet different user needs.
II. Audio Equipment Layout
Front Speakers
Place the left and right main speakers on either side of the TV or projection screen at a 45-degree angle to the audience, at ear level.
Position the center speaker below or above the TV, facing the audience, to ensure clear dialogue.
Surround Speakers
Place the surround speakers behind or to the side of the audience, slightly above ear level, to create a surround sound effect.
For a 5.1-channel system, place the surround speakers to the side and rear; for a 7.1-channel system, add rear surround speakers.
Subwoofer
Place the subwoofer at the front or corner of the room, avoiding walls or furniture to reduce resonance interference.
Adjust the position through testing to achieve the best bass effect.
Overhead Speakers (Dolby Atmos)
If using a Dolby Atmos system, install overhead speakers on the ceiling, directly above the audience.
Ensure the speaker angles and heights comply with Dolby Atmos standards.
III. Cable Management Tips
Hide Cables
Use cable channels or conduits to hide audio cables in the floor, walls, or ceiling to maintain a clean room appearance.
If hiding cables is not possible, use rugs or decorations to cover them.
Cable Selection
Choose high-quality audio cables to ensure stable signal transmission.
Prepare appropriate cables based on device interfaces (e.g., HDMI, optical, RCA).
Power Management
Provide independent power outlets for audio equipment to avoid sharing power with other appliances and reduce interference.
Use power filters or stabilizers to ensure stable power supply.
IV. Equipment Connection and Calibration
Connect Audio Equipment
Follow the audio system manual to correctly connect speakers, amplifiers, and playback devices.
Ensure all connections are secure to avoid looseness or poor contact.
Calibrate Audio System
Use the automatic calibration function of the amplifier or AV receiver (e.g., Audyssey, YPAO) for sound field calibration.
Manually adjust speaker volume, distance, and frequency response to ensure balanced sound.
Test and Fine-Tune
Play different types of audio sources (e.g., movies, music, games) to test the audio performance.
Fine-tune speaker positions and parameters based on the test results until optimal sound quality is achieved.
V. Precautions
Avoid Resonance and Echo
Lay carpets, hang curtains, or use sound-absorbing materials in the room to reduce echo and resonance.
Avoid placing speakers near hollow furniture or glass to prevent resonance.
Equipment Heat Dissipation
Ensure audio equipment and amplifiers have sufficient ventilation space to avoid overheating.
Regularly clean ventilation ports to maintain airflow.
Safety First
Pay attention to electrical safety during installation to avoid electric shock or short circuits.
If unfamiliar with installation, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.
