placing center mirage omnistat v2 in home theatre

[heywood]

I am definately a newbie. I have a set of 5 Mirage omnistat v2's in my family room. We are about to put in a fireplace in the family room with a TV on top. I know big no no, but the the mantel will be pretty low around 40" tall total so hopefully the crook in my neck will be minimal. I can mount the omni stats on the wall or ceiling. Where would be the best place to mount the center speaker?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

on wall

If the speakers are going to be placed over 6 feet from floor, don't forget to invert the speaker.

By the middle of the TV picture - near the same height as the
front speakers. If the speakers are high - then they need to be
inverted. Leave room for the Omni sats to breathe.

correct

What I did was put on wall but I built an extension out of wood to get them away from the wall.

Mount them about the same height across the front, on the wall or the ceiling, upside down. Put the center one above the TV in the center. Try to place the side ones at least 3-4' from the side walls.

The rear 2 don't need to be the same height as the front 2 - but each should ideally be the same height as the other rear. Again, wall or ceiling, up 7 or so feet, upside down is often a good setup.

A little hard to be precise given that you haven't described the room.
