Speaker Angle Calculator
What is it for? Calculate speaker angles relative to your listening position from your measurements; compare with ITU-R BS.775 recommendations.
You don't need an angle meter — with just a measuring tape you can find your speaker's angle relative to the listening position. Measure three distances and enter them below.

How to Measure
- Vertical difference (①): Measure the height of the speaker driver center from the floor, then measure your ear level height when seated. Enter the difference. (For a ceiling speaker: ceiling height minus ear height.)
- Horizontal distance (②): Mark the point on the floor directly below the speaker. Measure from this point to the point directly below your listening chair, along the floor.
- Direct distance (③): Measure in a straight line through the air from the speaker to your ear. This is optional but if entered, the tool will verify your three measurements are consistent with each other.
