In Ceiling Subwoofer Placement

Finished in floor subwoofer installation.

In ceiling subwoofer placement.

A 5 1 4 or 7 1 4 system uses four ceiling speakers or four dolby atmos enabled speakers or modules. A 5 1 2 or 7 1 2 system uses two ceiling speakers or two dolby atmos enabled speakers or modules. The specific model used in this article is the rbh sound si 1010 the si 1010 measures 13 1 2 w x 42 h x 9 d so it won t fit in a wall but will fit between floor joists or roof trusses to be installed in floor or in ceiling. If you want to install speakers in your bathroom stereo single ceiling speakers are a great way to go.

Working against the room can involve anything from fancy eqs to room correction software. Dolby atmos speakers either go in the ceiling or on top of your main speakers to fire up and bounce off the ceiling. They re great for small rooms or larger awkwardly shaped areas. Dolby atmos speaker layouts parallel the 5 1 and 7 1 setups for surround sound.

I am planning to upgrade my system to atmos 5 1 2. 7 1 4 in wall dolby atmos enabled speakers when setting up your speakers use the charts and the downloadable pdf found on this page to help guide you. According to dolby s recommended placement surround speakers should be placed just behind the listening position and range from 90 to 110 degree from the center line. A 9 1 2 system adds a pair of front wide speakers to a 7 1 2 layout.

The basis of the anywhere placement strategy is the fact that deep bass sounds are omnidirectional so it s difficult to pin down the exact location of a subwoofer producing deep under 80hz. So if the first digit is a 5 for example this means there is a left center right and a pair of surround speakers. Then choose a central seating point and angle your speakers at it keeping them at your ear height when you are seated unless noted otherwise. One stereo input speaker plays both channels of stereo music with one woofer and two tweeters.

Front and in ceiling speakers are total fine in placement the problem comes from my surround speakers. Working with the room involves acoustical treatments along with smart subwoofer placement and adjustment. Surround backs l r on rear wall acceptable height and width surrounds l r on ceiling over listening area are these in line with front speakers or a wider distance. I understand the front of the room speaker placement r l main center and sub but since i no right wall can i mix the speakers up in this configuration.
