Is that wide enough to put ATMOS ceiling speakers in on the side or too close to side walls? Does this leave enough in reserve to be able to do both 2.35 and 16:9 (with a JVC 7000 for arguments sake, will depend what's around come the time)?Īlso to 'hide' the PJ in the bulkhead (not actually in it just stopping it where the PJ will be then starting again) it looks like it'll need to be about 600mm deep. If we stuck with the current screen size of 150" scope, I'd need the PJ mounted about 546cm from the screen zoom). The Atmos heights are best lined up with the L and R so likely in the bulkhead they could be a little wide and get a bit close to the walls. May be a better idea to stick to 5.1.2 if you can't move the couch. Not to mention cramming rear Atmos heights up against your back wall. You can't have side surrounds in your ear due to the couch so may need to put them back a tad - meaning less separation between rear surrounds and also having 4 surround speakers in a small space. Getting towards 500mm off back wall and you're starting to cram in a lot of speakers in a small space. A metre in from back wall and you could go a full 7.1.4. Having your couch close to the back wall limits your options, so does having a full room width couch. Once you figure out how many speakers you want at each level you will know which way to go. Try not to get confused with ceiling Atmos speakers and Atmos enabled modules (upward firing). How many speakers you need will be decided from this. 5.1 or 7.1 and then 2 or 4 ceiling speakers. You'll need to decide how many speakers you want at each level. With one row I'd be keeping it lower (you don't need height for back row to see over anyway). I'd do max 300mm and check requirements if you need a step. You only have one row of seats so riser can be anything you want. *Edit: For some reason the link goes to the start of the thread, page 5 shows the Neuphonix in place. It probably won't help heaps but here's how I did the fake wall. I'd maybe place them just a tad back from the seating line (and maybe a little touch higher) keeping them within the 110 degrees and placing your rear surrounds as close together as spec allows (150 degrees) to give more separation. I still don't think I would be putting them directly next to a listener though if the seating goes right up against the wall. The Symmetrix would also match nicely and get them a little further from the side listeners. that's 600mm total with the Neuphonix so fits the sub too. It was more than needed but remember that they are rear ported so allow at least 200mm behind and give them room to breathe out the back also (eg. I also had Neuphonix behind an AT screen, I left about 900mm. I use a 150" screen and sit 3.5 or so metres away. that's a fair distance and even a small amount could be used to improve audio immensely, as well as bringing you closer to the picture. I agree with Minty in that it's kind of dead space between the seats and screen. If it can only be about 500mm off the back wall (plus a shove and a mis-measurement!), is it worth going 7.1 or just do 5.1? Would the symmetrix work? No that's why she wanted the couch against the back wall, you won't be able to get beside it. ignore where it says feature wall at the front of the theatre room, that's how she's drawn the false wall to hang the screen on with speakers behind if it will work. Please fire away with how you guys would do it, any and all advice greatly appreciated! Is it worth having that 40cm at the front to put the speakers behind the screen or do we just ditch it and box out the corners on each side to hide the speakers in. is it worth doing atmos with the seating against the wall? Where do the surround speakers need to be (ceiling or wall?). Wife has chosen seating which has to go against the back wall.not ideal, but it is what it is! will be upgrading the PJ and possibly the amp if needed. Current screen size is 150" scope, would like to remain the same size if possible. The room will have a bulkhead ceiling and we're aiming for star paneling in the center section.Ĭurrently have Krix epicentrix, neuphonix (2) and seismix3 that I'd like to keep. We have allowed 40cm at the front of the room (not included in the 6m) to hopefully build the speakers into the wall or put behind an AT screen, undecided at the moment, comments? So, a while back I posted what I thought was our new house build.things changed, design shrunk, but I think we're done now!
