Q: QuestionWould add-on Atmos speakers be worth it if being used in a room with a 12ft high ceiling?

Asked 7 years ago by BeezleHarris.

• A:Answer I have these speakers and a +10 feet sloping ceiling and the Atmos sound effect is certainly noticeable. These speakers are sitting on top of my kef R500 fronts. Try them I would say. I am happy I did as I also had my doubts.

Q: QuestionCan you use these for standard pc audio? Im just looking for speakers

Asked 7 months ago by Andrew.

Q: QuestionI assume placing these speakers on top of floor tower speakers in a room with a flat "popcorn" acoustic ceiling will not provide the Dolby Atmos effect because of sound absorption in the ceiling. Hopefully I will get the same effect mounted to the wall.

Q: QuestionWhy would I wire these to the surround on my receiver and then place them on top of the front speakers? Then there are no rear speakers. Can I use these IN ADDITION to rear surround speakers?

Asked 1 year ago by UncleCasey.

• A:Answer These are Dolby Atmos speakers intended to add a 3D sound experience in addition to your existing 2D surround sound field. They are meant to be hooked up to the Atmos or Heght connectors on the back of your receiver. They are placed strategically in several locations such as on top of your L/R front speakers, on the ceiling, or on your walls; this is dependent on your the room configuration. If you don't have Height or Atmos connectors on your receiver, then you likley dont have Atmos capability. You can, however use these as surround speakers, (I wouldn't because of their shape) hook them up to the surround connectors, and place them in your normal locations. Keep in mind there are a limited amount of movies that have Atmos encoding, but the inventory is growing.

Asked 2 years ago by chand.

• A:Answer These speakers can be added to any set up with any brand or model of other speakers. However they are designed to be used in a Dolby Atmos setup. They fire the sound to the ceiling. If your receiver does not do Dolby Atmos you won’t get the effect.
