Unfortunately not a great place for speakers. For a single pair of Atmos in-ceiling speakers, they should be positioned at about an 80-degree angle from the primary position as shown in the drawing when looked at from the side. I have a question, I am setting up a 5.1.4 configuration in my family room with 4 ceiling speakers for atmos (and thankfully based on what I just read my surrounds are just above ear level). Will a CD horn with a wider dispression 90 *90 ( jbl pt wide coverage wavegiude from Jbl AC16) is preferred on a 90*50 horn for atmos (18 sound XT120)? Will the sound from atmos speakers distract negatively for anyone seated on left wall side? I acted a bit hastily and thought that any old speakers would do. I know this isn’t optimal but sure would like some sense of Dolby atmos sound. Surrounds are .5′ higher than ear level on stands on 45 degree access pointing into listening area, secondary lp is forward on either side of room. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. I have two different options when it comes to the bed channels 0-25-50-100-142 or 0-30-60-100-150. Dolby always has the rear height behind the speaker but i have seen drawings with all 4 height speakers being in front of the listener dividing the room in 1/3 and 1/3. Also, it is a bit difficult to find ceiling speakers that match the timbre of the surrounds and keeping my bipoles ensures that the timbre will match as well. But which angles do they use…. Are the dispersion patterns on these speakers really so narrow, to make up for the dB differences you would have to have, I guess, to overcome the tendency to perceive the direct sound as the “real” sound and the ceiling-reflected sounds as the echo? Not sure if this helps but my AV receiver supports Audyssey MultEQ XT 32 calibration. For the majority of us, ceiling speakers probably aren't something we've really given a lot of thought to unless are job descriptions have necessitated designing a PA system for business premises or installing a home theater set-up in your bat-cave. Foam board will work (yes, it is foam with thin cardboard on each side), or corrugated plastic. So how to mount them — parallel to the seating rows or perpendicular? Was going to get rid of them. The goal of home Atmos is to separate sounds around you from sounds above you. same / similar drivers and conscious decision by the manufacturer to timbre match. Is it better then to place the 2 height speakers along the side walls just below the ceiling and pointing downwards or to mount them on the front wall as height speakers? I want to add 4 speakers that will compliment my existing speakers, but with a vaulted ceiling, I am not sure what I should be looking at as possible solutions. Helos vs EM for ceiling would depend on the speaker position relative to the seats. Hi..I have two Polk speakers that I am using as overheads but I cannot mount them on the ceiling but on the side walls instead . What should be the separation in feet between the front height and rear height? __________ Did CEDIA ever publish guidelines on this topic? The angled middle overhead speakers will benefit both the person sitting directly under it and the person sitting directly under the opposite MOS. *I should say, “you may need the “echo” to be over 10 dB louder than the incident sound…”, I’m not sure from your comment if you have tried out the approach of “dolby enabled” speakers or it’s more of a theoretical question you are asking. I would love to learn I went on certain websites but it’s not working for me. I have a smaller space and I think it might be overkill. …or d) shift RHR&L forward 10deg and FHR&L back 10deg, thus keeping centrally located height objects central. thank you for your response. Hi Tony, yes it can be done…but I’d likely consider 7.1.2 instead. I have nearly the same setup. Lying on the couch, my idea is to trick the ears into hearing the surrounds from the ceiling. The angled in-ceiling speaker features a 15-degree angle for the midbass driver plus a pivoting tweeter for placement flexibility. Your first three bullets seem to contradict each other. This is what I was thinking … too high?? At around 80 degrees vertically from the main listening position. I have the Marantz 8805, and after some research decided to do 7.2.6 (currently running 7.2). I’m not sure on the exact specifics of your room but it sounds like a 5.1.2 might give good results. The first three spatial audio layout tips are not contradictory if you ignore what is written in the Dolby Atmos specifications. Dolby Atmos system with as many as 24 speakers on the floor and 10 overhead speakers. What is the reasoning for this and should ceilings be on axis towards center or straight down? My instinct without reviewing the actual 3D CAD model of your room: get the surrounds as far as you can away from you. The Atmos discussions I have seen show in ceiling speakers just in front of and just behind the main listening position or angled speakers mounted on the top of the mains. The add-ons feature a concentric driver including a 4" woofer and 1/2" tweeter. I am going with 4 top speakers but hope to go with 6 in the future. Without knowing where your rear speakers are going, I’d suggest two Atmos speakers. Would it be best to adjust all the speakers together or by keeping the ratios constant or would you recommend just moving the nearest set accordingly? thank you for your effort in helping me with your advise. Great catch, and again, many thanks. You could add more speakers, but I think first I would add rear surrounds rather than more top speakers. my BCHL is at 43 degrees, my BCHR is also at 43 degrees, my FCHL is at 45 degrees and my FCHR is at 45 degrees. How To Install Dolby Atmos Ceiling Speakers How To Install Dolby Atmos Ceiling Speakers Dayton Audio Me650c 6 1 2 Micro Edge Lcrs 15 Degree Angled Mk670 Angled Kevlar Woofer 6 5 Lcr Ceiling Speaker Dolby Atmos Goldenear Technology A Passion For Sonic Perfection Atmos With Which In Ceiling Speaker Should I Use For Dolby Atmos Sound Sloped Ceiling … Both set of ceiling speakers will be angled towards the listener. Ideally you would use the same speaker in all surround locations but that’s pretty hard to do, and often the tops have different requirements, like benefiting from an angled baffle to disperse sound towards the listening area instead of straight down. I will have two rows of seating and my origin point is the center of the first row. In your ten tips for ATMOS, you state that From what I have seen published by Dolby, optimal placement for a .4 setup is with one set of speakers is ahead of you while the other should be behind you. ( not speaker), Hi..I am setting up a 5.1.2 theater with an ATMOS enabled receiver. At minimum you want 30 degrees separation between bed surround and ceiling. My biggest problem is I have a ceiling that slopes from 8ft (where my couch is) to 12 feet at about a 45degree angle. This will give you the best surround sound experience no matter what you show or movie you want to watch. That means I would try and keep all seats (or at least all key seats) no more than 40 degrees off axis, and preferably no more than 20 degrees off axis…see Dispersion Requirements for Dolby Atmos (beware, somewhat technical…). I’m not clear if your surrounds are behind you at the correct angle (110 degrees lateral, or there abouts)? Any suggestions? in your opinion can I stay with my current configuration or should i switch the 2 side height channels to ceiling mount speakers to take advantage of the new technology. OSD Audio’s LCR (Left Center Right) angled in-ceiling speaker is angled at 15 degrees toward the listener. Atmos Ceiling Speakers Angled. The CEDIA guidelines include provision for tiered seating. Essentially you position the ceiling speakers for even front-to-back and side-to-side coverage…because the front stage and rears are often above ear level you don’t have 180 degrees front to back anymore, so you divide up the angle evenly. The ratio in the “ear height” layout is 1:2:1 (45 bed to overhead, 90 from overhead to overhead, 45 overhead to bed, all front to back). Alternatively, I could mount the first row of speakers parallel, the second row perpendicular, and the back row parallel — this would maximize coverage for the first seating row center seat. With some due diligence in the design phase, your issues could have been avoided and a better result achieved. For the rear ceiling row the angled orientation is not great if you have two seating rows….better to do a speaker that’s pointing downwards. I should also add that the rear speaker row will have to be slightly forward of the second seating row, again clearly not ideal for any Atmos configuration. I’ve done a few rooms with two heights and they work well in this location. For Atmos I am between the RSL c34e and the Kef ci series but am leaning toward the x34e as they have very similar dispersion patterns. Distances just don’t make sense when the side walls are at a different distance from the main listening position that the back walls. Mostly it is just going to be my family of three watching movies. I installed 4 on-ceiling speakers facing downward and 18 inches to the side of my front and right speakers I now have a 7.2.4 system. If you mainly care about your experience then I would mount the top speakers for best front to back coverage i.e. Hi Nyal, Here’s my set up: 1) 21′ x 16′ x 9’6″ room with 2.35:1 AT screen (so about 19′ from screen wall to back of room) Would it be beneficial to slightly raise the back ends of the modules from horizontal and thereby bring the reflected acoustic angle from the ceiling more into the listening area? thank you. This may seem a bit odd but just thinking out of the box. Depending on where you put the top rows, you may find even then you do not have great coverage from the front or back top row since they are firing straight down. No, they should be at or above ear level. The center is above the TV even higher still. I’m assuming the rear and side surrounds do not need to be on the same level. |. Then with wides you have 0-50 (wides)-100 (sides)-150 (rears) or 0 – 55 – 110 – 155. Ideally we’d have another ceiling row to provide better angular coverage front-to-back. Come join the discussion about home audio/video, TVs, projectors, screens, receivers, speakers, projects, DIY’s, product reviews, accessories, classifieds, and more!

Now that I have them, I figure I will use them and if after a couple of years I feel they’re not doing the job, I’ll move them to my surrounds and get new speakers for the ceiling. When I walk around the room it goes from "there's music coming from the corner of the ceiling" to "it sounds like music coming from a speaker up in the corner of the ceilng that is pointed away from me." Not sure if you have the height based on your diagram but just offering a different solution. Dolby Atmos allows you to bring immersion into a home where you will not be allowed to cut holes in the ceiling.” For in-wall listener-level speakers, Eggers recommends they are at least 3 feet below the ceiling. Position the sides at 110 degrees lateral but on the ceiling and the tops at 80 degrees vertical. We did get some wiring done at build time (fronts, surrounds) but this was before Atmos was a thing (2013) so nothing in ceiling. How can I overcome the issue of bed and height speakers in the same vertical position? Could you also provide some advice on height for the surrounds. Or is there a way that I can get some decent Atmos performance for the second seating row with these speakers? You’d have to map it out in CAD to know for sure. Let me know if you think the XTR 7000s might be an option for me or using in ceiling speakers for the Top speakers may work better than the SuperSats. Flush mounting the speakers would look best, at least have the grills mounted flush and maybe angle the speakers to be directed to center as one would in a typical setup. Hi I am about to install 5.1.4 in my 13×13 room with the couch being only 20 ” from the back wall.

I am gobbling it up. this is a follow up to our previous conversation, in regards to the Dolby Atmos on-ceiling speaker installation. JavaScript is disabled. Thank you for the reply. How far forward of the main listening position and up the side walls should they go Also I assume they should be pointed at the main listening position? I don’t want to cut into the ceiling because it will affect sound isolation, and there is a 1 1/4″ thickness to the ceiling anyway. Would the best separation be with 60:60:60 front to back and also side to side. 13’x14′ spance. I have 2 Bose am5s mounted high on back wall for surrounds now. (Want to improve lines of sight but concerned about separation from surround bed and ceiling speakers. you have to keep the ‘ratio’ of the Dolby recommendations the same and position the best seat forward into the centre of the overhead channels or alternatively lift the LCR? I figured that if I have the back surround info with the rear surrounds, it would make more sense to place the sides closer to 90. The Proficient C661 in-ceiling model you mention has a pivoting tweeter. 2) What is the angular separation between the bed and height layers (30 degrees minimum). Our target is -3dB at 4kHz. Table of : Best ceiling speakers for Atmos ; Top 7 ceiling speakers for Atmos. My Front /LR, Center and Sub are at front of room, traditional floor-standing speakers all.

Hi Charles, impossible to say without looking at the specific placement of your speakers in 3D CAD! It was placed behind an AT screen in a baffle wall. Ensure you pay attention to the dispersion characteristics of the speakers, which may mean angling some. The issue is the room is relatively large as it has two couches facing each other with a coffee table between them and the Plasma TV is above a faux fireplace mantle with cabinets R & L which hold the front and high surround Speakers, not ideal I realize. Depends on where your current tops are located…normally Auro requires a full height layer (additional speaker for each one of the bed speakers). SW DTSX I select 9.1 my AVR can give me back surrounds but my room doesn’t support good for that my home theater is designed sideways not vertical . However as I re-evaluate the level of difficulty installing said speakers and their requisite wiring, I take pause. Thanks, Not only does the MLP have a great experience but other seats do as well.

Find Out what Acoustic Frontiers can do for you, November 14, 2015  86 Comments | Leave a Comment. Ok, so when an object pans overhead in an Atmos track. I have no surround speakers on the bed layer because of space constraints. 1. I would like to know if what I did with my system is correct. If over 30, you are good, if less then you need to adjust. I’d position them away from the seating area a little. Another issue is that my front speakers are right at earl level (the tweeter I mean). I’d likely try to add 4 surround speakers in the ceiling, so you have backs and sides. http://www.triadspeakers.com/products/dolby-atmos/ir-bronze-lr-h/. I am afraid that if I put them at ear level it would create strange psychoacoustic effects (read somewhere that atmospheric sounds are perceived more naturally if they come from slightly above ear level), but if I put them too high, they will deter the separation of the two beds of sound? No clue how it’s going to impact the overall sound. Thus the overall effect is a nice steady pan. you mentioned to me about the angular separation from the bed layer from my (MLP). The CEDIA guidelines have not been formally published, but have been available to CEDIA members for well over a year. I use a 60″ flat panel TV that will be upgraded to a 65″ OLED at some point. |. OSD Audio 6.5″ Trimless Thin Bezel In-Ceiling/In-Wall Speaker Pair 150W – ACE640; 4. well I followed your advise and measured the speaker angles from the (MLP) and these are my numbers using a string and a protractor. I’m installing a 5.2.4 Atmos system. |. In a 6 overhead situation the ratio is 1:1:1:1, i.e. Why? 2. One is, as you know, that speaker is closer to a surface that is intended. is that OK? Do I really need the rear speakers to enjoy Atmos? I have tried to estimate it so that each listener on the long couch has eye of sight to the surround (but there are still many options for height in that case). The higher the ceiling, the broader the angle of coverage will be at ear level. Hi Andrew…interesting point about keeping the ratios consistent, I had not considered that. Thank you…. I am hoping I am not too far off of the CEDIA guidelines as the Atmos guidelines clearly do not anticipate stadium seating (I only have two rows, but nonetheless). or should I just install them on the side in-between my side surrounds and my back surrounds? |. Thanks for the help, -Joshua. ALL those sounds will come from above you, defeating the purpose of an Atmos set-up. Thanks for your help on this project of mine, Greatly Appreciated.

My ceiling is only 7.0 feet high. Check resulting speaker placement against speaker dispersion specification: http://www.acousticfrontiers.com/dispersion-specifications-and-off-axis-response-plots/. C ____TV____. So the transition from bed to overhead is relatively faster than from overhead to overhead. I figure that with 9’6″ ceiling, I will get enough horizontal dispersion along the front to back axis if I mount them parallel. Thanx for posting those. The “height” module has a narrow enough directivity at the frequencies where humans localize sound that we don’t perceive the sound coming from the speaker…it comes from the ceiling. By this I mean, for instance, my SBR&SBL pair will be 10deg above ear height. Recently, I upgraded my receiver to Denon’s 7.2-channel, Atmos-capable AVR-X2400H. There is plenty of room for me to set up the speakers above the room in the rafters, but I’m certainly concerned about having big square holes in the ceiling even though that might be best sound. And two top Atmos speakers right above the couch in the ceiling and the other two Atmos speakers in the ceiling about halfway between the couch and the TV. Studies I vaguely remember suggest that at vocal frequencies, you may need the “echo” to be over 10dB louder than a sound arriving just a few milliseconds later, to overcome the perception of it being an echo of the first. Obviously I cannot accommodate Dolby’s recommendation for my room’s orientation. I’m looking at getting 4 Martin Logan IW speakers for the surrounds (left Sur, Right Sur, SBleft, SBright). 3.

I just feel that I”M not getting the proper effect from dolby atmos and dts-x immersive audio. If you are using the Electromotion IW those are quoted at 80 degrees coverage, so for best results position listeners no further than 20 degrees off axis (or as the measurements reveal as described in the linked blog post). Or can I move the rear set further from the listener, with a more acute angle and increasing the sound levels – to simulate “lower height speaker”? Something like the Vanquish is a good choice since it has an angled baffle. Here is a link to the floor plan and where I have tentatively marked speaker placement (Atmos being the yellow and surrounds being green). Ceilings are 2.7m (9 ft). 3.
