My name is Channa D. and I am the content creator and editor of the RU-vid channel, Techno Dad. On this channel, you'll find unboxing and setup videos to help you get your 4K Home Theater up and running at light speed. I also cover news and newly released equipment related to Home Audio, Home Theater, 4K TVs & associated devices.
I have recently started creating Dolby Atmos content for you to enjoy in your Home Theater. Be sure to join my newsletter to gain access to my current library of Dolby Atmos content and future releases. Thanks for stopping by and I will see you in the next video!
Definitely want to demo this at some point. Sounded really good, eve made the mic clip. Apart from the bass, how was the balance of the sound from front to back?
Thanks! I think I have Synthesis, but it was short. I also have JVC with Gramani Systems, Focal and Sony, and Storm Audio with Ascendo. All still trying to edit and hope to be out soon.
Have you ever thought about the fact that the sound engineer has the same setup as specified by Dolby and places his effects accordingly? After all, he has a similar layout in the studio and works with it. What you say would be true if the sound engineer had the same setup as you and thus distributed the effects. But I'm assuming that an Atmos developer is working with the layout that Dolby specifies. So I think you're right in principle, but in practice it's not true.
I’m not sure if you saw my other video, so I’ll try and summarize here. There is zero Dolby Atmos Metadata in a speaker, and there is zero Dolby Atmos Metadata in a speaker layout, it’s all in the computer, in what’s called the Dolby Atmos Renderer (DAR). As an Atmos Creator, I can place an object so it fires out of one speaker alone. These “relative speaker locations” in the renderer are the places where the speakers should be placed around the room. After all, it’s the Dolby Atmos Metadata that needs to be decoded. If you place the speakers at the relative speaker locations from the DAR, you will actually have an inherently better Atmos experience - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4CNneY6JtTU.htmlsi=pjxHvsC6XrSRlpdt
Thanks to buying a new house i have had my 5.1.2 surrounds both ways and i gotta say haveing them to the side sounds much more immersive seeing as how we dont hear sounds that well behind us i was missing out on all the subtle sounds. So im happier with them on the sides.
Can the tv be pulled away from the wall and turned eith that foush wall mount? Thats all i need, so i can turn it and have rhe functionality of a normal tv with mount but also be able to push it flush with the wall for art time
Excellent Video. I was able to enhance the HDMI ports for the Xbox X series. Also I believe you can use an optical cable from the TV to the sound bar which frees up HDMI Port 3 eARC.
In these demo's what they usually ask the audience to do is walk around the room with and then without WF on. The difference is instant and very effective. Same note, everywhere.
@@pauldavidthomasfrodo. But there’s no need to walk around. They just need to play a bass sweep with and without the system to show it eliminates peaks and dips for everyone in the audience. You can’t do this with music/soundtracks. You need a steady volume sweep. Music and soundtracks are going to have varying frequencies at varying levels. That’s useless when trying to demo a system that claims to eliminate bass peaks/dips.
I actually bought this but hasnt arrived yet. Only thing i dont like about it is that it doesn't have a mesh cover on the back of subwoofer. For anyone who has a cat at home like myself, this could be a big problem.
Great perspective! Curious… if you have high-back chairs… Do you have front stage and rear stage at on same plane, but higher than optimal to allow rears greater clearance over chair backs or do you keep front stage optimal and raise the rears. Which is lesser of two evils? This video got me thinking.
Hi! Great question. I'm glad I can inspire some thought. I have the tweeters at 47" all around on the ear level. High back chairs do present a problem when it comes to hearing sounds from behind. You could raise them, but not too much as you don't want to disrupt that ear level plane too much.
how high are your 4 surrounds? and how high do you have the 6 atmos speakers above them. I have to have my 4 surrounds a far bit higher the ear level and almost speakers are 30 cm above them. i had to use angles and ceiling mount the atmos speakers as there isnt much space directly above the surround speakers.
Hi! My ear level speakers are all at the same height. All tweeters are at 47" off the ground, right where my ears sit. My height speakers are 9 feet off the ground, so about 5 feet higher than the speaker tweeters.
So many incredible points, this shows there is a gap in understanding how Atmos supposed to work. So, reasoning is broken down to legal action and software design. This is either an aha moment or a deviation from intent. So, the logic is plausible. I understand that Atmos is an object based 3D sound field. It supposed to cause emotion from an attic groaning from someone walking across the overhead sound field. I don’t think this could be recreated coming from height wall channels. Next, let’s recreate a bullet whizzing by your face from a prone position in bullet time. From inexperience, I would say you cannot recreate this without a 3D space. R+ to HLR+(SL+SBL+). How does it cross the 3D space and get close to your face? I just know what my brain would interpret and don’t have the 3d space experience you do. Thank you for all of your advice over the years and for creating the Spatial Audio Disk, it should arrive sometime this week. I’m reading through the CEDIA/CTA-RP2 documentation before it arrives.
I've heard that the Elac Reference UFR 52 require a lot of power from the amplifier to sound very good. Is that so? If so, can I keep up with my Rotel A12 MKII or would it be too weak?
Nice this would work on my denon 4520ci, for the subs i use minidsp. But what was the sound improvement you noticed between this and audyssey? Would love to hear it. The software is not cheap...
I just want to hook up my RP-8000 2 gen to a stereo. I have six post on the back of my speaker. I am getting no sound at all. I have been out of this for awhile so not really familiar with bi wire.
and then to have the center speaker horizontal...further evidence of nonsense. remove the center speaker, drop the tv lower...move LR speakers a bit closer to the screen and toe them OUT a bit.
Sometimes, without realizing it, you discover your life is a "HABIT". Habits, are hard to break; it brings no fulfillment, stifles growth, you find yourself doing things "just because" rather than "I want to"....I know; been there. As you travel this new road remember to NEVER SETTLE. 'Settling' is the great seducer of falling back into a habit. Take your time and find yourself. And don't worry, we, your fans will still be here..... Peace.
With 7.1 and adding 4 height channels for Atmos as Front Heights and Rear Heights, what is the recommended placement of these Front and Rear Heights. Place Front Heights to top of where left and right speakers are placed? What about Rear Heights, same line behind Surround Back Left and Right? Can someone please suggest what is recommended from Height Placement? Thanks
