The SDR-38 and SDP-58 allow you to connect up to sixteen

to utilize all 16 channels. The SDR-38 has 7 channels of
amplification. 5 channels of amplification correspond
to speakers installed in the front left, center, front right,
surround left, surround right. The remaining 2 channels of
amplification can be assigned as:

Height front left, height front right, height back left, height

With the addition of correctly installed and configured
height channels, Dolby Atmos for the home, DTS:X or Auro
3D brings the ultimate cinema sound experience to your
home theatre to create powerful, moving audio that flows
around you.
The configuration and placement of your speakers
is very important. All speakers, with the exception of
the subwoofer(s), should be arranged around your normal
viewing/listening position. The SDR-38 and SDP-58 decode
Dolby, DTS, and Auro3D surround formats. Each has unique
requirements for speaker placement. In addition the
processors are equipped with Dirac Bass Management for
multiple sub-woofers. The speaker placement and system
calibration should be performed by a certified JBL Synthesis
Dealer for optimum performance in all formats.
It is imperative that low frequencies are evenly distributed
across all seating positions. This is best achieved using
multiple sub-woofers. Best results are usually achieved
by placing sub-woofers in all four corners of the room,
performing precise measurements and making the proper
adjustments to time, frequency and amplitude domains to
minimize seat to seat variation and maximize performance
for the unique physical characteristics of a particular room.
Certified JBL Synthesis Calibrators are equipped with the
experience and tools to implement the best possible
calibration for each room.
