OZee Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hi All, I have placed rear surrounds 5.1 on sides (little back from my ear angled down) its far from rear wall. - Now that i have ATmos 5.1.4 setup with ceiling speakers. Can I shift the surrounds on exactly back of my ears in rear wall (slightly higher than ear) ? will this give me better sound immersion ? - I have space of about 1.5 meters between my couch and rear wall. any advice will be awsome thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 why dont you leave them where they are and add in the rears as well ? your setup sounds ideal for both sides and rears ? eg as below, https://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/surround-sound-speaker-setup/7-1-setup.html otherwise I would stick to the sides where they are. which allow side speakers between 90-110 deg from listener ie at the sides or slightly back. but not as far back as rears... in a 7.1 setup. https://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/surround-sound-speaker-setup/5-1-setup.html I would be careful to not have the wall mounted surrounds too far up... as you will have not enough distinction between the ceiling mounted height speakers and your surrounds which is needed for the heights to have effect if above ear level thats fine, but need about a meter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
