Man, this was awesome. I can listen to Jon talk about sound all day.

This is exactly the kind of information I want to see. Information that can help us improve our listening and viewing experiences.

Previously did this for a living… More than a few years back. It’s rare I find people that have impressed me as much as you two! If still in the industry, would love to learn from you two and be a part of the team.

What a great discussion. Perfect for me as I am finally upgrading and doing atmos.

Excellent and informative video, great job!!!

Fascinating interview! 👍🏻🙏🏻

Best video you've uploaded.

This was great, thank you.

Informative. Thank you.

Great explanation, I've enjoyed so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One question I have, is where we see the industry going on regards to higher definition audio. The issue I see, is that the world is moving away from physical media to streaming (so lower bandwidth for years to come). In addition to this, people are moving to sound bars. This creates 2 legitimate issues in which studios are less incentivized to invest further. And, if the theaters don’t recover after all of the shut downs, streaming will be the entire focus (which is where Disney seems to be headed). I know that Netflix is pushing for more channels within Atmos encoding, but the long term viability of this is in question.

Jon is the guru and what he says in this arena is gospel. The current CEDIA bible (i.e. - white paper) on speaker placement is effectively a de-Trinnov’d version of Jon’s guide. Listen when he speaks 👂

Good video / I murdered my home cinema a few years ago trying to adopt 7.1 (for the release of jaws Blu-ray) didn't work at all /overkill in my set up. Seating placement is the tricky part for most homes / sofas against walls etc.

So good! Shane and Jon rule!

This dude is the j r r Martin of home audio manuals

Informative content - thanks!

awsome vids

51:32 - In-ceiling speakers to deal with the issue: GoldenEar INVISA HTR 7000 - beautiful sound, power enough - especially if the ceiling is worked correctly, with no rattling and dumping material used.

Any links to the document being discussed in this video? I would love to get a copy!

Starlink should be a game changer for internet service costs and availability.

For one row sitting, was the diagram showing the 6 "upper level" speakers as atmos/ceiling channels or were they 6 channels about the listening level that point down to the listener? And if they are meant to be just above the ear level channels and not atmos, do the upper channels just duplicate the ear level channels?

Please guide me the perfect subwoofer model for my 220sqft dedicated theatre room with combination of Denon 2700

Great session! Bummer I missed the live Q&A! I have a question around side surrounds with multiple rows. I was planning to use bi-poles in the middle of the two rows, but he mentioned using multiple speakers in an array might be better. For AVR's/processors that aren't Trinnov, how would we accomplish this? Wire the speakers together in series/parallel? Or would bi-poles be the better option in this case?

Are you two still planning to talk about screen distance?

Any links to that 80 page book would be greatly appreciated. Great podcast!

It's a pity that I missed the Q&A part...O would have loved to ask how to get more "tactile" bass. My two 15" Subs provide a pretty flat response from 15Hz to 100Hz, but it rarely really "shakes the room". My Subs are placed diagonally. If I place them both at the front or use just one, the FR is a lot worse, but I get more "earthquake"...

I have a question regarding the center channel. I was watching the other day batman vs superman And the center channel sounded low volume like if a cover was in front of it. This movie was a rental from apple tv btw. But I watch other movies like bluray and it kinda sounds low volume too. Setting are at 100hz and level at 0.5 the speaker its rate it to go down to 65hz. Im thinking adding an external amplifier. Any suggestions?

Did they add that center rear option for the altitude 16?

Does he advice apply to any set up or only trinnov’s

Anybody else find it ridiculous when you see a drawing with 21 speakers with one guy sitting alone in the middle of a couch? Yeah me neither

The real question is : are toilets in women's restrooms the same as the toilets in the men's 🤔

Most home theatres are massively degrading the experience by adding too many speakers. What they are talking about here are massive, very high end, theatres. For most people, spending their limited budget on getting the L/R right first, then using basic surrounds, will result in far better sound. Unfortunately, most think that having 10+ speakers will sound good when they can only afford $500-$1000/per speaker. It won’t. You are much better off putting 80% of your budget into the main speakers. The great thing about Trinnov is it will make this system sound like there are 10+ speakers.
