    Great video man! Nice remote control too!! I'm trying to figure out what would be good for my room, as I have slanted ceilings. Gotta position the speaker in an angle to get that Top Layer working correctly. Denon is sending me an X4400H to try out Auro 3D so it's good to know I'll need an amp for that Top Layer.

      Make a hanging platform with pipes or a projector mount and then screw a board onto where the "projector" would go. then use the svs mount and theit ceiling mount to lock it in place. Bada Bing

      That Home Theater Dude oh I had meant on the SVS site. There’s only a few pictures of Gary having mounted them to the ceiling but no real tutorial or explanation as to how it would work on their site. I have a Klipsch RP280 system with three 115 SW and I’m looking at the gloss white or black ash. I would mount directly on my ceiling like you did with the voice of God since Atmos is supposed to be directly above your head. However, I’m not sure what benefit would be for them to face down at the ground on the ceiling in the front while facing directly at your head in the rear. I’m not sure why you even want in ceiling speakers firing directly down word in the front or middle! That is cool that you went with the ultras. I don’t think I would go with their speaker and instead would go with RF 7 II/III from how much praise it has gotten.

  • @garykarczewski6678

    You have a nice flat ceiling why not use ceiling speakers for Dolby Atmos. There are quiet a few options as low as $52 a pair for 8" coaxial ceiling speakers which will do as good of a job as the Elevations by SVS for Dolby Atmos. DA doesn't need higher end drivers to produce good effects. I had the Elevations and sent them back because I thought they were over kill for DA. Great speaker no doubt and if you have to go flush mount height Front to get the effects you want a good choice but really any good bookshelf angled height front mount will do the job well IMHO.

    • @ThatHomeTheaterDude
      @ThatHomeTheaterDude  6 років тому +3

      I have a room right above the living room and its a thin space. In ceiling speakers arent an option otherwise I would do that. Sorry you sent back the Svs. Im selling my klipsch atmos modules cause they just arent up to par with my setup.

    • @garykarczewski6678
      @garykarczewski6678 6 років тому +3

      I only sent them back because I was able to use ceiling speakers to accomplish my Dolby Atmos successfully for $150 vs $800.00 for 4 speakers. I imagine I would consider the SVS in your circumstance but I would still consider small Book Shelves focusing downward with a nice wide throw. This is because they are effect speakers and most detail is limited and short vs LCR detail.

      it'll work somewhat. Like you said that opening is gonna make it hard to do proper acoustic in a room like that. If it was a closed room then it'll make a world of difference. I have a basement that is unfinished, but it's a closed room and with a little bit of acoustical foam placed in different areas it made a whole lot of difference.

  • @Mortalis2

    After you hung your "Voice of God" speaker, did you find it moves a lot on the mount? I mounted my two Prime elevation speakers from the ceiling, installed the keeper so the speaker will not 'rattle' off but I find mine are very loosely hung and move quite a bit. They do not move enough to find the holes, the keepers are doing their job I guess but it's just a bit unnerving how much they move on the hanger.

    Thanks for showing the Elevation ceiling installation. I would probably have recommended putting all four SVS Elevations in the Dolby Atmos Top Front/Top Rear positions rather than having Front and Rear Heights for the best possible overhead effect. Plus, Auro 3D doesn't have much in the way of actual content and they probably never will. Auro's single VOG speaker approach is super distracting IMHO (when it's actually encoded into the mix) as it's too point source as sounds move across the ceiling - and I've been to numerous Auro demos over the years. Plus, it's a mono overhead. Some receivers allow you to split the Auro VOG channel out of the four Atmos overhead speakers in your configuration settings.

    • @lawrence09151
      @lawrence09151 6 років тому

      Dan Hitchman I was thinking the same thing. Other than the up mixer and some specific music discs I haven’t seen auro take off in the US. Everyone seems to be jumping on with DA including Apple which hadn’t even had DTS in their products. Steaming is DA, most movies are DA instead of DTS:X. Since DTS can use the DA layout, I’m thinking top front/ top rear makes the most sense as that’s how the codec was engineered (cinema). Then again we got those ceiling bouncers :/ Denon didn’t help them out by making my 4200 auro upgrade $200.

    1) Have you done any comparisons with and without the Voice of God channel? What are your thoughts on it?
    2) What are your room dimensions (L x W x H)?
    3) Would you happen to know what's the minimum room length required to use height wide channels?

    the prime elevation speakers, when placed as front heights are they supposed to be placed directly above the front left and right towers? I see you have them much more spread a part. I've always thought all speakers should be pointed directly at the listener so since the mount only points the prime elevation straight forward the only way for them to be pointed at the listener in my situation would be if they were placed much closer together , close to the ceiling a couple feet apart above the tv.

    • @ThatHomeTheaterDude
      @ThatHomeTheaterDude  5 років тому +1

      eja35oz I always recommend that you put them in line with your front pair of speakers. If you put them super wide as in my case it would be butting up next to perpendicular walls could cloud the sound that comes out of them. Same reason that you try to avoid early reflecting points in sound. You don’t want the heights/Atmos bouncing off a wall before it gets to you.

I'm finalizing my home theater surround sound set up, got the x4400h and running SVS prime elevations in a dual ATMOS/AURO config.

      how do you figure? You can mount them in any direction you like. You can point them towards you so that the angled face of the speaker is pointing more at your location than a true in ceiling speaker could. Plus in ceilings lack an enclosure around it. open air speaker design in my experience isnt the best. Thats why you see people jumping up in the attic to put a box around the in ceiling speakers. it really helps out.

      yes it extrapolates non native formats to play thru the auro 3d setup. I can be watching seinfeld and get sound out of the VOG. It wasnt originally coded for it obviously, but the mixer does a really good job of adding depth with the speaker

      you can run both. the speaker placment is the same except for the vog. You can run an atmos track and hear 4 height speakers and then pop it over to auro-3d and then you have 5 speakers playing. You dont have to change the speaker placement when you switch between the mixer modes. I really like auro-3d. its not super popular in the US but i think it is superior in many ways to atmos and dtsx

    did you use the screws that came from svs to mount to the ceiling? i found a joist using a stud finder but i'm only going to get 2 of the 4 screws into it (either the front 2 or the back 2). i'm worried that it won't be enough to support the weight

    • @ThatHomeTheaterDude
      @ThatHomeTheaterDude  5 років тому

      If you are using the screws from the kit then dont use the plastic anchors if you are drilling into a joist or stud. If you want a little more security then get some 3 inch wood screws for joist or some dry wall anchors if you are just drilling into the sheet rock. I used the dry wall anchors that were a 2 piece kit. One drills into the ceiling and then the smaller one(almost the same size as the screws in the kit) goes into the bigger one. prettt cool and they are cheap. I used the drywall anchors rated for 50lbs. overkill but it probably wont fall down. :)
