QUOTE(SSJBen @ Dec 11 2016, 07:11 PM) Are you talking about Dolby Atmos up-firing speaker modules? If yes, then understand that they don't work very well. No problem on the height, the problem is I have constrain to put my surround speaker down to the ear level which is below the atmos speaker The correct way to implement height speakers is to have them as close to the ceiling as possible if in-ceiling speakers isn't an option for you. So of course, the height speakers MUST be placed higher than your surround speakers. |

Not saying it's the best, but that's the correct guideline. So what's the problem?What really matters most is that the height speakers MUST always be higher than your bed layer speakers by at least 6 ft., generally speaking. Of course different rooms, different measurements. *EDIT* ![]() This post has been edited by SSJBen: Dec 11 2016, 07:29 PM |

On top of your current L/R surround but near the ceiling? It's difficult to give a recommendation if you don't list down your room dimensions. |

QUOTE(saitong09 @ Dec 11 2016, 07:44 PM) Alright, your surrounds are too high and adding in the height speakers will have a negative effect on your overall system. Is it impossible to place your surround speakers 5 ft. lower but remain at the same side positions? Rear placement for surround speakers can work, but you need to position them properly otherwise you may hear a gap between the front and sides during panning effects. |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Dec 9 2016, 07:21 PM) To put it very simply, lobing refers to the issue where speakers of MTM design has an issue where woofers can cancel out one another causing dialog intelligibility to become an issue when the listener is sitting off axis (meaning not directly infront of the center speaker). Lobing usually happened to TM. MTM Will not cause lobing , in fact , MTM eliminate those lobing.Not a big issue if you only have 1 MLP, but if you have a wide room and have many seats, you should choose a WTMW center speaker design or just buy a vertical bookshelf and use that as the center channel instead (of which then you would absolutely want to match it with your L/R speakers). Angle adjustment is not a feature. You can just DIY yourself by buying a pack of door stoppers (if speaker feets are not an option) and get the exact angle you want for any kind of speaker. |

QUOTE(fx20 @ Dec 12 2016, 09:47 AM) TM is a 2-way bookshelf no? So of course, if you position it horizontally then lobing will occur. MTM does not eliminate lobing issues - http://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-des...evaluation.html http://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-des...asurements.html See the difference between an MTM placed horizontally vs vertically? Of course, not all MTM designs causes lobing issues. There are those like KEF Q series or ELAC Unifi series that places the tweeter ontop of the mid-range driver which minimizes the issue. QUOTE(saitong09 @ Dec 12 2016, 12:30 PM) I can only lower down 1 side of the surround only, the other side wall very far away. How to position the surround at the back? Is your surround monopole or dipole/bipole?If monopole, just place it behind you, pointing directly forward. The distance between them, that you will have to measure out yourself because you didn't provide any info on your room dimensions or measurements.

That's quite a decent sized room. Just a pair of front heights will not be enough for height effects IMO, even if you hang bookshelfs with 6.5" drivers. You'll want all 4 to really have the immersive height sound in a room that size.I'm planning for 5.1.4 So far it seems to me your room situation is a bit complicated. You can put your monopoles to the back surround location, about 1 feet above ear level. Then see if you can have 2 front height speakers in front and 2 in the rear. It's not going to be optimal, but I think that's a decent solution without going into some minor renovation. |
