Topic: preparing for 7.1

[flashDB]

im currently on 5.1 setup.  i have spare speakers and want to use it for 7.1 - wharfedale WH-2 surround.

will it be good if i set it up as front instead? if so, how hight should it be from the front speakers? if not, how high should it be from the surround?

thanks.

I would start with reading your receiver's manual for recommendations on speaker placement.

Which receiver are you using?

If dolby atmos sir ang receiver mas maganda kung 5.1.2 .2 means 2 front height

Btw, wharfedale's wh-2 i believe is a bipole speaker. Should work well as side surrounds and/or surround back. I wouldn't recommend it for front heights, be it pro logic, dsx, or atmos

@rthirtyfourgtr - denon na 5.1 pero i'll upgrade it when opportunity and budget permits. as for the placement, i can only put it on top of surround or fronts. im just prepping since nagpaayos ako room and para magawa na yun mountings, wirings, and stuff.

i may replace it with Q Acoustics din in the future but for the time being i'll utilize it. sayang. pag ready nako i'll just sell it pandagdag sa QA.

baka kasi masira lang pag di nagagamit edi gamitin nalang

pwede mo istock na lang bro..

box and seal it with desiccant inside..

[flashDB]

ok sige assuming I just box it, still what is the recommended height for front/back heights? and which is better between the two - front heights or rear?

habang open and clear yun room, i-ready ko yun mouldings, wires, mounts para isang gawaan nalang. ayaw ko na maulet yun DIY drill ng AM41. kakapagod at makalat

I would go for front heights kung naka PJ ka. Tumataas ang image.

if that's the case, then i would suggest you read up material on your target receivers for upgrade.

for atmos speaker layout go here: http://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/dolby-atmos-speaker-setup/index.html

for dolby pro-logic IIz/audyssey dsx front heights go here: http://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/surround-sound-speaker-setup/9-1-setup.html and here: http://www.audyssey.com/blog/practical-guide-audyssey-dsx

ok thanks. ayun 3 feet from the F and R and facing the listeners. it looks like walang rear height, only surround and back.

another question. say i play dts 5.1, how should the receiver play it to the 2 extra channels? automatic na or like selecting pLIIz (or dts equivalent) to

[rthirtyfourgtr]

all of them can be applied regardless if the source is dolby, dts, or even plain stereo. i think even atmos has an up-mixer for non-atmos tracks

just select the desired listening mode for your speaker layout

finally mounted it. wala nako intindihin itago. kinunan ko ng picture was thinking of selling it kaso sige na nga... receiver nalang

...in due time...

malaki ba differnece ng 5.1 sa 7.1 na front height?
