Help with combined Auro/Atmos setup

[abhijitnath]

I'm currently running 4.1 (Spatial audio speakers, SVS sub) and planning to expand to 4.1.4, combining Auro & Atmos with RSL C34E speakers in ceiling (open to other ideas). I'm thoroughly confused with placement, settings and so on since there is a lot of information, much of it conflicting. Is there someone who has attempted to this, or firms who would do this for not much money in Bangalore? TIA!

Hi, if you are planning for Auro 3D setup, you definitely need height speakers. Auro doesn’t support ceiling speakers. Height speakers are supported by all three formats.
My friend has in-ceilings and I have heights. Personally I prefer heights than in-ceilings. It created a better sound bubble for me.

Height speakers need to placed and angled properly.

I have used the placement shown below and it works for all three formats.

Thank you so much for the video, very helpful. Re: Ceiling speakers, shouldn't angled baffle ceiling speakers behave like on wall height speakers?

Yes, it should, provided it is placed as suggested. I have not tried it though.
