![]() ![]() ![]() You will thus be missing the overhead information from the front channels as there are no front (or middle) overhead speakers in your system. 2 Atmos speakers being as only the rear Surround portion as you have set it up. Depending on How the Emotiva reports the speakers present in your system to the Atmos decoder, the Atmos decoder SHOULD treat your system like it is only 7.1.2 (with front wides) with the. That is not to say that you won’t get sound out of them, But you SHOULD only get upmixed front height sound and not Atmos overhead sound, if it is being done correctly. If the Atmos decoder works like ProLogic IIz and uses front heights (I can’t find evidence for this), the Atmos overhead sound probably won’t get routed to your front heights as they are not speakers In an Atmos configuration as far as the Atmos decoder is concerned. If they are equated as Top front Atmos speakers this may explain your bad sound as, if dealt with as front tops, you will not get the overhead Atmos effect. Because these are not part of Atmos (we don’t know how the RMC-1 reports them to Atmos decoder. Your front wide height speakers are too far forwards and not ceiling mounted so probably ought not to be included as anything other than front height. They only meet the official Top Middle criteria by a) being in an x.1.2 setup or, b) being the Top Middle set in a six ceiling mounted setup x.1.6 with Top Fronts and Top Rears in addition Your overhead two speakers, (I am therefore assuming on/in-ceiling down-firers), if overhead are not far enough back to be Top Rears and not far enough forwards to be Top Front. ![]() ONLY ceiling Down-firing "Top” speakers or sound bouncers "Dolby Enabled" feature in the whole of this.ĭirect firing wall or edge of ceiling Height speakers angled downwards (so not ceiling bouncing) are NOT Atmos speakers.Ī pair of front height speakers are supported in Dolby ProLogic IIz (and may also be supported by the Dolby Surround Upmixer and possibly Atmos (but as height speakers and not Atmos speakers) but I can’t find anything about this either way) There are 30 Dolby sanctioned Atmos configurations for home theatre. These wall or peripheral ceiling speakers are not, and will not give the correct effect. This is either mid-ceiling mounted (in or on) down firing speakers OR Dolby enabled “sound bouncers” firing sound off the Mid ceiling to reflect towards the listener to trick the ear into thinking the sound is coming FROM the central part of the ceiling overhead.Īlso, ONLY ceiling direct down firing Speakers or Dolby Atmos enabled speakers (table, speaker top or wall mounted, but definitely only bouncing speakers aimed at the ceiling and bouncing sound off it to the listening position.) are supported in Atmos. Just high mounted surround speakersĪtmos speakers are ONLY speakers that cause sound to emanate from a middle part of the ceiling. When wall mounted as shown in the picture, they are merely surround speakers. They CAN be atmos speakers, but only by being horizontal, atop floorstanders for example, and bouncing sound off the ceiling. These speakers are Klipsch RP-500SA and are correctly marketed as Atmos/Surround speakers but misused/ misinterpreted by consumers. But it is not Atmos, because Dolby closely define what constitutes Atmos setups. It just isn’t! Forum visitors may have something like this and enjoy the sound, which is great. (We won’t go into the position of those stand mounted surrounds on wheels!) There are no speakers generating sound radiating from above the head of any of the listeners. So often do we see pictures like this purporting to be an 7.1.4 Atmos setup. (Including speakers mounted hanging from the ceiling but at the edge of the room). Note that NONE of the recommended/supported Dolby speaker configurations for Atmos include direct firing wall mounted height speakers. More like 7.1.2 with the 7 being the usual 5 plus Front Heights (which are not Atmos configuration speakers (Which may explain why you are underwhelmed!) Your speakers are not in a Recognised Dolby 5.1.4 configuration. ![]()
