I am having a new theatre room built, and I want to have it wired for Atmos support as well as (7.1? 9.1? Not sure which is the one really) The room is 20ft 6in long X 14ft 8in wide with 9ft ceilings and two rows of seating (the back row on a 8in raised platform.) See pictures below for a...

Hi all, At present, my subwoofer is located in an alcove (underneath the stairs, but closed off lounge), and the back wall of this alcove is the party wall with our neighbours being the other side. It's also in the corner. It seems incredibly well insulated - we never hear a peep from them...

Hello, I've been using REW and the TRA to get EQ filters on my 2 channel + Sub system. As I have electrostatic speakers I'm aware that getting the rear wall reflections in sync to the listening position is very important. I've been using a laser measurement tool and old school tape to align...

Greetings from Norway, this is my first post on this very knowledgeable forum! I am building a small dedicated home theater room using the original M&K S150/SS150/MX350 THX speakers, and have some questions about the vertical/horizontal placement of the front LCR speaker array. Some info...

I've bought a new Subwoofer, a SVS PB1000, and this time, i want to use REW in order to select the best positioning for the Sub. As i will use an Antimode-Cinema to calibrate it, and according to the Antimode manual, i should select the place where i would get the less NULLS, as the Antimode...

Hello, I just purchased a Dayton EMM-6 mic and I want to take some measure of my room from my listening position, so I can be aware of problems of my room, and eventually correct them with treatment. I've seen the Gikacoustics tutorial about using REW and they suggest to point the mic upwards...

Right now, I've got my 42" Plasma on a 30" wire shelf. Laugh, but it works amazingly as the the airflow is keeps equipment on the second shelf cool and I use a couple cube baskets to store various things on the bottom shelf...and it looks pretty good, too. I've had that setup for a couple...

Hello, building a house with media room. Installing a 7.2 system and won't be able to place subs up front. I read where placing them in the center of the room opposite sides of the theater seats was actually a better position. Any reason this is a bad move? Also, I was thinking about recessing...

Hi, fellow Shacksters, Greetings:) This is an area that is much discussed I guess but still with interest for me.I like to know from you how to identify the best location for the subwoofer.In this context I like your views on the...

which direction to point a Behringer ECM8000 when measuring with REW in my HT ? towards the front speakers/sub ? or up at the ceiling ? or is it truly omnidirectional and it doesn't really matter ? *it will be on an ear height stand in the center of my listening position*

I have a couple of subwoofers, Infinity SW-12 and Klipsch RW-12D. I had been running only the infinity for a while and it sounded ok, I felt like it needed a little more power for the low tones, so I bought the klipsch. I have tried both in the front (letf and right corners), and also on...

I am going to install a 4x8 sheet of OC705 as a cloud absorber. My ceiling height is 89" (7'5"), room is 158" (13'2") by 214" (17'10") deep. My screen/false wall is 24" forward from the front wall. My concern is that my first reflections on the ceiling are about 7' wide, but very narrow front...

Hello, I need help in positioning the speakers for 5.1 surround setup in the living room for the following attached layout. Thanks.

Hello: When using the BFD, where is the mic positioned. If you maximise a certain position (I'll call them sweet spots), you may create poorer listening areas elsewhere (which is to be expected). Is the idea to build up a repertoire of sweet spots depending on where you plan on sitting. How...
