The Height level is the volume level you want the upward firing speakers to project sound. Upward firing speakers reflect off of the ceiling. So a higher ceiling will tamp down the sound given the sound has a longer distance to gi before it reflects back down to you. Increasing the value for the height level therefore increases the sound the upward firing speakers are projecting so that it gets to you at a volume you like. I have 8 ft ceilings and I set mine to +2 or +3 because I want more from the height speakers than typical. Also, be mindful, many directors just use atmos for atmospherics (e.g. wind, background, nature) so it adds depth but only occasionally will you hear the helicopter flying overhead effect. And for me, I want to maximize those effects when available. So I put my height level a little higher than the comparable (rear speaker) surrounds. I hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Each channel has the option to adjust the volume. The 'Height' level adjusts the volume- and projection of the overhead speakers. I'd recommend adjusting them to whatever sounds the best for your personal preference. The setting will differ depending on the size of the room, height of your ceiling, and where you sit relative to the sound bar.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Each Surround Speaker has one forward firing speaker (driver) and one upward firing speaker (driver). The Smartcast app controls the volume of each individual speaker (driver). So using the app, you can adjust the "height level" volume from -5 to +5.
