Author Topic: Bedside speaker placement (Read 2539 times)

Mga masters, I just want to know your opinion/take on placing bookshelves speakers on bedside will work. I mean the usual placement of speakers is upfront. By the way, this will be used for audio listening only. My bedroom is not the big for me to have a place for speakers sa paanan ng kama. Yun na kasi yung daanan papuntang CR. Magagalit si misis pag hinarangan ko yun. Sa left side naman is yung cabinets. Di ko din sya pede ilagay dun kasi mahaharangan yung cabinets. Sa right side ko, I only have about a foot of space. And ayoko na patagilid ako makikinig. So naisip ko na right speaker on my right side, as in sa sidetable arwa, and left speaker sa left side naman. Reason din na gusto ko sya ilagay sa bedroom is para magamit ko sya lagi since I like listening to music before sleeping.

So the question is, ok lang ba na ganun ang placement ng speakers? Parang headphone ang dating kasi left and right speakers will be placed at the left and right side of the head. Thanks guys!

Yes I think ok lang naman as long as hindi critical listening.
Kami nga ng wifey ko, simple ipod dock na lampshade ang pinapakingan namin. 2" full range mono speaker. San ka pa!

Thanks sa quick reply sir Nelson!

pwede naman. Or kung gusto mo sa harap mo sir you can wall/ceiling mount mo yung speakers that way walang naka harang.

Ambience setup bagay sayo. I've heard a Bose speaker with built in sub base then sa pole my dispersing mids and tweets. Busog tunog throughout room. Powered speaker pa. Pricey but a good system for what you have in mind. I've heard on using ipod and ganda tonal balance.

Although i have not tried it , maybe walll mounted planars speakers , if there is space on the walls may work. Kailangan nga lang ng sub

Thanks sa mga suggestions sirs.

It would only be a temporary set-up since yung dedicated audio room ko gagamitin for a couple of months for another reason. As much as possible walang drilling muna sa bedroom. Pero pagnagustuhan ko na may speakers sa bedroom, that would be the time na it would be permanent na. Hahaha!

nakita ko nga din sa net yung wall mounted planars. Neat!

ok lang iyan lalo na kung sanay ka din naman sa headphones

humble suggestion: kung feasible na i-hang ang L&R speakers para hindi sagabal sa in-room movement baka iyan ang mas ok para wider and deeper soundstage ? ang medyo challenging lang diyan ay ang pag-position/direct ng speakers patungo sa listener(s)' ears ?

my 2 cents only

Masubukan nga , a little rewiring on my Ht should approximate the application

panzimus · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 19, 2013 at 01:18 PM »

Natawa ako sa madaming 3M hooks! Hahaha!

About hanging them sa walls, napaisip tuloy ako na mas ok nga yun. Now yung wires naman ang proproblemahin ko...

Diyan kailangan artistic ka. You can use transparent wires para less visibility. Or kung white ang wall mo, you can look for white wires and/or white duct tape. Pwede ka din maglagay ng payat na vertically oriented vase or lamp. Pwde ka din mag-design ng thin wood conduit and make it look like a thin speaker stand. Kung naka-wall paper ka, cut a strip of leftover na tugma sa pattern ng pagdidikitan mo.
Ayan. No need for 3M hooks.

I Just simulated the wall mounted planar setup , it will work and look nice too , but the setup is too fuzzy ,Baka imbis matulog ka galawin mo yun speaker para ma improve pa yun tunog .

power hungry pa .

Definitely Not for a temporary setup.

Di ka din maka tulog nyan sir sa kakagalaw. hahaha.

panzimus · « **Reply #17 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 08:29 AM »

Naisip ko nga din yun. Kasi sigurado hahanapan ko pa din ng best na pwesto mga speakers. Hahahaha!

Nelson de Leon · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 08:38 AM »

Ceiling mounted perhaps?

panzimus · « **Reply #19 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 08:49 AM »

mukhang no choice nga kundi magbutas. Hahaha!

Gino · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 08:53 AM »

High end headphone setup will be more satisfying. I am using Westone UM3X in-ears, Schiit Asgard amp, and Mac Air and it is very good. Headphones will hive fuller bass.

Best option talaga yan sir. And if you need to remove it may nabibili na parang clay sa ace/do it yourself na parang putty to fill the holes.

panzimus · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 10:26 AM »

Thanks sir titor. Will check on it.

panzimus · « **Reply #23 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 10:28 AM »

Actually sir Gino may headphones din ako sa bedroom. Palitan ang beyerdynamic DT150 and Denon D5000 via tube amps. Iba kasi din pag speakers. UM3X naman gamit ko sa commutes.

Gino · « **Reply #24 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 11:06 AM »

Since sanay ang tenga ma so good sound and you know the impact of speaker placement on sound i think hindi ka sasaya sa balak mo.

OT, try listening with your UM3X with Samsung phone (I use Note) with Neutron Player. Excellent reference.

panzimus · « **Reply #25 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 11:22 AM »

Nako tingin ko mga tama ka sir Gino. Sige try ko UM3X with my wife's S3. As of now hisound audio RoCoo P gamit ko para portable set-up talaga. I also find it a good match with the UM3X.

Gino · « **Reply #26 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 12:01 PM »

Maganda tumunog ang Neutron Player sa S3. Yung Note ko halos katinog na ng Mac Air with Amarra Player.

panzimus · « **Reply #27 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 12:29 PM »

Free ba sya sir or paid app?

panzimus · « **Reply #28 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 01:39 PM »

Sir Gino, have tried the Neutron sa S3 ni misis. It sounds good indeed.

Gino · « **Reply #29 on:** Jul 20, 2013 at 02:05 PM »

Yup airy. Try activating crossfeed for a tighter "image".
