Dolby and DTS do not recommend true dipole surround speakers for their immersive sound formats, as they smear the sound stage too much. If you are sitting about four feet or less from your base layer surrounds, then bipole surrounds are recommended to lessen hot spotting where you get too direct a point of sound firing toward your ears. If you happen to have a wider and/or longer room, then traditional monopole speakers are potentially the better choice. Your speakers should be timbre matched as closely as possible around the room for a more seamless experience.
@antoniogrbes-peric3416

agreed, my media room is 6*3 m and direct speakers are too easy to localize with no phantom sound while panning, so I went with rp502 for sides (1,5 m away) and 402 for rears(1,2m away). I'm in a bubble this way, opposed to having rp160m before, which made panning on a side like hearing three speakers consecutively, vs making a straight line with bipoles. Also, sides are a bit in front of a two seat recliner, as I really feel the influence of person next to me blocking the sound path

This is probably one of the best "take it to basics" videos I have seen in a long time. Great job! How about doing a follow up compare between in ceiling speakers and dedicated height speakers (wedged shaped speakers that are popping up all over the place). Can both be used for DTX and Atmos? What are the pros and cons. Keep up the good work!

Dipole & tripole speakers are best used as surrounds IF you have only have one set of (side) surrounds and you have two rows of seating. It's always ideal to have monopole speakers though.

I don’t usually make comments, but this was an excellent presentation. I first started using surround systems with the television more than 30 years ago when my “big screen” was a 27 inch crt. It added great dimension. Of course, I upgraded televisions and receivers over the years, but replaced speakers only when necessary, choosing to repair my front JBL’s several years ago. With today’s large and relatively inexpensive high resolution screens we can enjoy a more theater like experience even without a dedicated theater room, such as a family room. I have been more recently reinfected with the home theater bug and have been attempting to improve my viewing experience in my open family room environment. I have watched many videos on home theater setups in dedicated and nondedicated environments and the separate various aspects. But none on this topic! And I have been interested in learning about dipole speakers. Your video really helped. But, I would really like to know when it would be beneficial to use the dipole speakers. I don’t like to make purchases only to later realize there was a better option. Could you revisit this topic to explain when the listening environment would benefit from dipole speakers?

Interesting... I just replaced my bi-pole surrounds with mono-poles. The challenge I have is a small listening area and the bi-poles were directing the high frequencies in areas that were interfering with other speakers. For my situation mono-poles are much easier to live with. My sound system consists of 4 SVS Ultra Bookshelf speakers (2 for the mains and 2 for the side channels), an SVS Ultra Center speaker, 6 SVS Prime Elevation speakers (4 ceiling mounted for Dolby Atmos and 2 mounted on the rear wall for the rear channels) and 2 SVS SB-3000 Subwoofers. The system is powered by a Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A8A 11 channel AVR connected to a Panamax M5400-PM Power Conditioner.

Good video. I went with bipole speakers for my rear speakers in my 5.1.4 setup. For two reasons: rear speakers are only 1 foot behind the listening position and 1 foot above. So a more dispersed sound is better cause of the close proximity. Also, I got a cheap pair on sale. Sounds very good. I haven't heard any other speakers. No idea how others would sound in my room

@@HomeTheaterHobbyist for close proximity, bipole or dipole speakers are better. Imo, they were designed for that application and because back in the day there was "only" 5.1 sound formats. If you can setup a 7.1 with perfect angles and distances, I wouldn't choose a dipole/bipole design but the reality is that most of us aren't fortunate enough to have a space with a perfect layout and for that, these speakers are a very good choice. I use bipole speakers in my 5.2 setup as well since my listening position is right up against the back wall.

The BARE MINIMUM layout for adequate immersive surround is 5.1.4 (with hopefully more than one subwoofer to help even out the frequency response in the room). Yes, budget receivers also do 5.1.2, but you lose quite a bit of object panning across the ceiling with only two overhead speakers.

Excellent video. I'm in the market for a Dolby Atmos soundbar system. Leaning towards the Nakamichi 9.2.4, but I've found that it's actually a 9.2 system, with the option to configure the satellites as height channels. I can play with a 9.2 or 7.2.2 or 5.2.4. I was debating between using the rears as rears or rears pointing up, or using the side surrounds as height channels. I thought that, as my couch is against the rear wall, having side surrounds pointing directly at me would do more than rears that are just barely behind me in the corners. This video helped me quite a bit in deciding on that!! Cheers.

I use 2 of the 402s as my rear surround as I don't have much choice. They make the perfect solution when your couch is up against a wall and there is no room behind you for rear speakers. In that case, the 402's out to the side of you on the wall right behind you, make a good choice. It was either that or install in-wall speakers at the rear as there is no other way to get something behind you when you are up against the wall.

Enjoy your videos. As for me and my setup, I prefer the more diffuse sound that the dipole/bipole speakers provide.
@HomeTheaterHobbyist

Enjoying the diffuse sound makes sense. You don’t want to know where the speakers are! Thanks for sharing! 😁

I use surround for my pc. GTFO, Eve, L4D2, if I hear where everyone is better it benefits me more. So also consider what entertainment you use it for I'd say.

Thanks! I didn’t mention this in the video but I did all my testing and wrote my conclusions before looking into the Dolby documentation. I’m always trying to optimize my system so I like to do various test where possible then research facts and community opinion. It does make me happy that my listening results match Dolby recommendations for audio mixers but really I wanted to find what works best. 😁

Dipole/Bipole diffused surround speakers belong in the 90's where they were a requirement for THX decolleration specs. For modern object based multichannel, you want direct firying speakers, better those that can be tilted towards the MLP. For me, Focal Dome Flax works best. I have 6 of them for surround, top front and back. Ny fronts are Focal Aria 906 and CC900 center. I'm now considering to get two additional dome flax for back surround.

Love your content and format! Quick question for clarity, the 1723s has the jumper on the rear to remove for direct fire out the front woofer and tweeter correct?
@HomeTheaterHobbyist
@HomeTheaterHobbyist Год назад
The jumper is for bi-wiring/ bi-amping which allows the user to send dedicated power to woofers and tweeter.

What a fantastic video, thanks Cody! I have a follow up quest regarding the couch against the wall with surrounds left and right. If that's my setup, would you also recommend height speakers or mid left and right speakers or is going beyond a 5.1 setup not really worth it?
@HomeTheaterHobbyist
@HomeTheaterHobbyist Год назад
Great question, for that type of setup I think height speakers would probably be the most impactful. 😁

Well done! Great explanation, although I already have the Klipsch R-402s for my surrounds, but I also have a pair of Polk audio direct speakers that my going to use to see the difference between the two. I’ll be sure to let you know what I think afterwards. Once again, great job!

So I usually watch peoples videos at 1.5 speed yours i need to watch at 1,25 times speed so that means there is just a lot of content in what you're saying. i appreciate this. lots of content and details are great as many youtubers just talk and do not have enough useable content for my taste. keep it up just at 1.25 speed though :)

Great video. However, the Arendal's can also be configured to be a front firing by removing the bridge in the back and only using one set of Speaker Terminals. This now makes them a Single tweeter Single woofer front firing speaker and ignores the side Triad woofers. In my experience this is the best config when listening to Dolby Atmos.

I did the same test with my Back Surround and found that I opted for direct radiating speaker as well. It’s just had more noticeable sound affects from behind. I gave up my dipole/bipole speakers for surround as well

Thanks for that explanation I have a few questions let’s say I wanna get the rp500m for surrounds the gen 2 are more than double the price and the gen 1 are cheap would it make a huge difference to have different gens for surrounds or can I save some money and get the gen 1
