Yes. Can anyone tell me why my experiment I just ran in attempts to localize the sound was flawed? Read carefully what I did.

Good points and adding an adjustable baffle makes it difficult to control Fs but since the driver is operating above 180Hz it may not be as big of an issue.

Guys just for fun I ran a little "Atmos" experiment while making some speaker measurements. I put a bookshelf speaker on a stand firing up at the ceiling and ran some sweep tones. What I found was even sitting far away from the speaker, it was localizable below 500Hz. Once I started getting...

Yea their website is prety weak unfortunately. I hope that changes after CEDIA to line up with their new exciting announcements.

I believe Thiel had a motorized in-ceiling speaker that would angle down when it use. I don't see why that couldn't be adopted for Atmos.

Sure I don't see why not but time will tell if the whole Atmos speaker concept takes off or not.

OK Guys, here is my proposal for a Steerable Atmos Speaker: Steerable Dolby Atmos Ready Speaker Proposal | Audioholics Please discuss in this thread and vote in the poll after reading the article...

Excellently stated and I tend to agree but you will see why I am recommending this option soon.

Yes Andrew Jones emailed me to confirm the top baffle is angled but left/right speakers are identical.

No. Possibly to some extent with the DSP processing in Atmos itself but I see nothing that indicates the sort. Being able to angle the driver to a specific location on the ceiling would be a benefit that nobody is currently exploring. Stay tuned for my article.

I agree. I don't see an angle in the towers or bookshelf. If there is an angle, it's very slight at best and certainly won't beam as drastically off axis like the diagrams suggest.

No it's likely to reduce the omnidirectional properties of the woofer which in this case is up to 400Hz or so. Less than ideal for sure.

Top surface of Atmos Speaker Guys; Can you please closely examine the top surface of the new Pioneer speakers and correct me if I am wrong in that it appears to be a flat surface with the driver also being flush up against the surface and not angled. That being the case, how are the "Beams"...

Guys I just came up with an Atmos Ready speaker concept while making pancakes this morning. I wrote up an article about it and its under peer right now. I think it will definitely generate some discussion on the forum once I publish. I just hope to avoid some of the flames in the process ;)

The AJ speakers look incredibly well made for the price. Atmos driver aside, I suspect these are gonna rock! Notice the Atmos driver is BW limited to 180Hz. Sound is very omnidirectional up to about 400Hz so the results will be interesting to say the least. Again I pose the question of how...

Hmm I may have to rethink my theories on audio cables after watching this very "informative" interview with head Monster :rolleyes: http://youtu.be/WyzuGWaSDzQ

It's a true tragedy when people are willing to sacrifice a quality 5.1 speaker layout in favor of a mediocre 7/9/11.1 layout. If you've got solid, high dynamic fronts, the soundstage they will throw off will usually trump any magic "Atmos ready" speaker firing a little driver up at the ceiling...

Yea but we have to watch what we say. A lot of audio folks and especially manufacturers don't have much of a sense of humor. This industry can't handle much parody let alone criticism.

Thanks we are on it!
