    What Are Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers?

    Sean IMO I would wire for a standard 7.1 layout with 4 ceiling mounted options (2 front and 2 rear). For the front, rear and back channels, use 14/4 cable in case you want to use a pair of those cables to run Atmos elevation speakers. If you don't use Atmos Elevation speakers, parallel the...

    What Are Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers?

    If you can do flush mounted in-ceiling speakers, then I agree. I have a set for my surround back channels in my family room system but that won't be compatible with Gen 1 Atmos configurations so I will leave them as the back channels. I can't add in-ceiling speakers in ANY of my 3 theater...

    What Are Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers?

    IMO choosing a speaker solution that is ONLY compatible with one format is short sighted. I fear if consumers go that route and invest in Atmos Elevation speakers now, they may regret that decision later on if Auro 3D and DTS UHD become commercially successful. Of course, some people live for...

    Dolby Atmos For Home Theater Explained

    Read my article. There is NO reason why you can't simply use a pair of old bookshelf speakers. All of the processing and filtering is done at the AV receiver end as it should be, NOT at the speaker side.

    Atlantic Technology 44-DA Atmos Elevation Speaker Module Preview

    That's because 80 about 1kHz is very directional. Bad idea b/c the physics don't support it like the diagrams have been showing. I have an article coming out that details more of this in a few days. IF you're using ceiling mounted speakers, I suggest treating them like any other surround...

    Andrew, thanks for the info. I very strongly disagree with you that banners don't work. They serve to brand a company and drive traffic to their websites which BTW our advertisers do track. Results are easily measured using tools like Google Analytics and DFP and believe me they are...

    Holly crap that's funny. Man I've been speaking to Curt Hoyt of Trinnov. The man is a genius and makes my head spin. He really understands surround sound and Atmos. His is planning a contribution to my up coming article on Atmos speakers. Looking forward.

    He puts forth a lot of red herrings and to my knowledge he's never run a high traffic site so he doesn't speak from experience. I could make ALL of our content void of opinion and purely scientific. It would still get the same results SEO wise b/c we have a clue how to get our articles well...
