The best way to use Dolby Atmos in the living room is to place speakers above the listening position, in / against the ceiling. You can use all types of speakers for this, even the speakers that you already have in your 5.1-channel or 7.1-channel setup. The speakers don’t have to be able to do anything special. However, if you are going to install speakers in the wall or ceiling, it is advisable to take special built-in speakers for this. However, not every room is perfect for a Dolby Atmos setup, let alone as perfect as the square box in the image above. There are some guidelines you can adhere to when placing the speakers. You can find these guidelines on the Dolby website, including the height and angle of the speakers. The speaker setup is indicated differently with Dolby Atmos than we are used to. We know the 5.1 setup or the 7.1 setup, but with Dolby Atmos extra speakers are added. These ‘height’ speakers are listed as 7.1.4 or 5.1.2. In the first case you have four height speakers (two in the front and two in the back) and in the second case you have two height speakers in the front or center of the room. There are many different options, ranging from 5.1.2 to 9.1.2. We have opted for a 7.1.4 setup in our room, which looks like the example below. whereby speakers located on the ceiling play an important role. I would Move Top Rear Closer to LP according to Dolbe Speac, and move rear surround slightly closer together (and not in line with the Mains.Dolby Atmos is on the one hand a new technology / standard in which audio objects can move freely in space (you no longer have the feeling that a sound comes from a specific speaker with it in the middle of the sound, it surrounds you) and on the other hand a new speaker setup. The Separation of channels is what helps give the effect.Īgain, using your first post image: I would move LP back a little, move Top Front closer to New LP According to Dolby Spec. Top Rears should be behind LP by the same distance, and not lined up with either your rears or Surrounds. IIRC, Top Fronts should be in front of the LP by a few feet, but not as far forward as your mains. Rears should be clser together than your mains, and behind you at the same level as the surrounds. Surounds should be slightly behind LP by ~10º and slightly above ear level. Once you have that settled To Your Liking: set the Surrounds and Rears as recommended by Dolby, or as close to it as you can. My personal approach: I like a more isosceles triangle for LP to Main Speaker placement. If you move the Elevtion speaker to the side wall, in the spirit of maintaining the "intended geometry" of separation between Atmos Layer and Bed Layer, as well as staying as close as possible to the distances for the Atmos speakers from the LP, I think you will be fine. Compare that to the Dolby specs for 7.1.4 set up. Perhaps, please detail in measurement alone, Width between L/R main and Distance to LP. But according to the image in your original post, your placements are WAY off of ideal for those two locations.It also seems like your seating is super close to the front wall. You have a good amount of space to work with. We all have imperfect rooms and have to do the best with what we have! They do not need to be specific to the mm when it comes to placement.

4 Atmos, you want Top Front and Top Rear placement. Should I mount all 4 height speakers at ceiling height, which would put them 21 inches closer to the listener on the left side?Īny comments would be appreciated. Would I mount the companion speaker on the other side of the room at the same level or 10 inches higher in the corner between the ceiling and the wall? I plan on mounting my SVS prime elevation rear height speakers against the wall, 10 inches below ceiling height due to the location under the cold air return on the left wall. One wrinkle is the dashed line shows an area where my ceiling drops 10H" x 21w" to hide a cold air return.Īre mounting my for SVS prime elevation speakers as height speakers the way to go?Īny suggestions for a better mounting locations, or does that location appear reasonable? I think my room is too long for a front/rear placement. The red arrows in pic point to my best guess for SVS prime elevation as height speakers. My new Speakers (Rear) SVSPrime Elevation are at ear height. I want to move my side surrounds (76" from Fireplace in pic, 75" high.) to just behind the sitting position (see pic) above the light switch as close as possible to the door frame. Speakers (Surround)ParadigmStudio Reference ADP-590 v.4, Speakers (Rear) SVSPrime Elevation Same location: Speakers (Front)Paradigm Studio Reference 100 v4, Speakers (Center)Paradigm Studio Reference CC-590 v4 I have a Long room with a hallway off the left side where the carpet ends. I am moving from a 7.1 Dolby Digital set up to a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos set up.
