How To Design A Surround Sound System

How close is to close when you have in ceiling surrounds with in ceiling atmos speakers?

Where's the close-up shot on the flip chart? I can't read it!

All Dolby Atmos does is manipulate the volume and placement of where the audio is coming from on the speaker itself. Just volume manipulation.

How much does this cost?

ok so step1, get rid of your 50m2 apartment and get a bigger one.

You gotta work with what you have, if those purists hate those designs, they should try and design the theatre better and make the client happy then

I love your advice about directional in-ceiling speakers for surrounds. I have an area with no left wall for my setup and this will allow me to put in surrounds without building pillars for them.

Should I stick with in-ceiling or should I use wall mounted on the right where i do have a wall??? (I'm thinking they should be the same, in-ceiling).

Nice bro good explan 👌👌👌💯

I have a vaulted ceiling in my room which peaks out at about 18’… does Atmos work in such a room?

What happens when your sofa in close to back wall how do I run my back speakers and atmos

Very impressed with the innovative approach

How about the atmos speakers in line with the midlle of the center and left/rigth ?
I think in a real general it would work better

quick question - i have a pair of 8" ceiling speakers (Micca) witch i want to add to my 5.1.2 (up firing klipsch) BUT they have adjustable tweeter cones - do i want to point the cones directly down to the floor?

Great video, really succinct and covers so much in a short amount of time thank you!

How about a video explaining how to do Atmos in a small 12x12 room, where the seating area is against the back wall. How would you place the speakers? Is trying to do Atmos even worth it in a room like this?

You don't know what are talking...

What about when the seating position is hard up against the back wall in a normal shaped room (say 12' from the screen in a 12' by 16' room)? That seems like it would be extremely common in a lot of households but most setup advice has the seating position more central in the room.

Hey do you know you look like the actor from a movie. His name his Channing Tatum. You really look like him

I can't get a straight answer from any local integrator on whether or not I should go 5.2.4 or 7.2.4. Ive got a 14' wide x 26' length room. Because my room is only 14' wide, should I do 7 floor channels? If so, should I put the rears on the back wall OR in the ceiling behind the atmos speakers?

Thanks!

Love your video

Would it make any difference if I hung 2 bookshelf speakers from ceiling for Dolby atmos instead of flush in ceiling speakers?

Nice Job! Great level of detail. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Would six in circle and top and floor would be better total 8 be amazing

It could be used to drive gravity, emf and sound to do greatest thing

Looking into something simple for for my living room and was wondering about angled ceiling speakers due to limited wall space and a far rear wall. Thanks for the input about the times you used them and the experience you and your customers had. I'm no longer worried about going that route!

Once again an outstanding use of a older teaching aids and the information was spot on especially for a not so very good room set up that I have,

What do you think about a 5.1 with the 5 speakers on the ceilling? Does it feel weird about The sound coming from the top? Or ir can be corrected with the angel of the speakers?

hi, excellent video, very informative. I got 6 connections on ceiling for a 7.1. Planning to make it 5.1.2, using middle 2 as atmos speakers and outer 4 as front/rear speakers. Thinking of bose acoustimas 5.1 with 2 ceiling speakers with a receiver. Does that satisfy dolby atmos?

But what if I have 3 rows of seating and I want a 5.2.2 setup? Do I need 3 rows of the 2 surround speakers and 3 rows of the atmos ceiling height speakers?

bro, sunscreen.

I’m in the UK and our ‘average’ houses are hardly ever rectangular, I have had to compromise so much, I have a door at the back left rear, a wall that doesn’t allow me to add side speakers so I got dipoles/bipoles and they are all on the back wall and then the rear surround backs are also on the back wall but higher, and btw this is a lounge only 18’ x 18’

Seating

That is the only solution I Had, using Denons Audyssey and some bipole/dipoles, I have managed to get it the best I can for a 7.1 set-up,
One day I will have a dedicated room, great video, we do what we can, with what we have.
🙏🏼

My basement is 10 feet high, 12 feet wide and about 25 feet long...what would be the best place for the seating ? Should I go for 2 rows or 3 rows ? I am thinking about short throw projector with Klipsch HT 7.2.4 setups.

Love the video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Quick question. You refer to atmos speakers. I had just purchased the Yamaha aventage Rx A880 receiver, Svsp sub, and 5 focal surrounds, all in ceiling. What do you recommend for the 4 atmos speakers(also will be in ceiling)
Would appreciate your feedback

Thanks. I am building one & m gonna use each and every tip you just told.

I am just now checking into this. Should I buy in wall speakers or stick to those I can set up to hang from ceiling

I have spent so much time trying to find the "Perfect" setup for my home from the purists and this 12 min video taught me more than all the rest!

nice review bro i have one doubt as a begginer i dont know which receiver to buy either 5.2 av receiver or 7.2 av receiver. i didnt have much interest in surround sound, i have only interest in music quality, i am confused some times that may 7.2 av receiver have best music quality rather than 5.2 av receiver, so if i want to buy a av receiver only for the music purpose which one would you tell me to buy a 7.2 av receiver or 5.2 av receiver

In your opinion, how important are the angles for the atmos ceiling speakers? I want to eventually do a 7.2.4. my room is 13ft by 13ft, with 9ft ceiling. if I follow the recommendations of 35° to 55°, my rear Atmos speakers would only be about 1'6" from my back wall. And my front Atmos speakers would be almost on top of my left and right front speakers. would you recommend I keep it this way, move my ceiling speakers a little bit in towards my king seat, Or maybe go with a 5.2.4?

Bonus question: should the height speakers point directly down, or angle towards the King seat.

Q: What if you have 2 rows of seating? Where would you place the "side surround" speaker? between the "king's chair row and the 2nd row...which would mean the height would have to be roughly 1.5' above the $row and a foot above the ear for the 2nd row? Would you still use bookshelf speakers? or would bi-pole di-poles be better??

What is a rough estimate to install 4 ceiling speakers in a living room setting and run the wires to an amp?

I with you were in Brazil to make my HT. Amazing video! Congratulations.

Do you have a preferred brand of equipment the utilizes Atmos?

What if the couch is against the back wall and your wanting a 5.1.2 setup?

Super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to explain the fundamentals and then apply them to real world conditions.

Hi, first of all love your videos they work as inspiration for my project. Was wondering if you could maybe help me out. I am currently working on my man cave. It will be a nice large area. I’ve been searching online for the best “affordable” home theater systems and pretty much all websites points to klipsch. I am considering buying their r-625fa 7.2.4 system (around $ 4k). Do you anything about them? About this brand? Would this be a good option for my price range? If not, what other brand would you recommend. I will much appreciate if you

Agreed. Thank you. If you don’t have a rectangle room, as most (UK) don’t. This was really helpful.

Finally someone talking about odd room shapes! Awesome video, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this! We have a new construction room 23X24 with 10' vaulted ceilings. what would you suggest for ceiling speakers and placement? We like Klipsch

So I'm in a similar situation to the last two examples. There's a closet in the back/side of my little theater room that prohibits me from putting the surrounds for a 5.1 setup at 90 degrees. It would probably be more like 80 degrees. Will this work do you think? Or should I put directional speakers in the ceiling behind at more of a 110 degree angle? It's an 8 foot ceiling.
