Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater mounting angle of center channel

Nice job, Tater!!

I love hearing other people's terms of endearment for their animals.

There is a magic angle. Simply, take a laser pointer and place it on the side of the speaker so that it is at the height of the tweeter and facing the listening position. Angle the speaker up so that it will be at where your ear level is when seated. You can have someone hold a blanket right behind the seat in the main listening position (ie the sweet spot) to find this exactly. Now as was mentioned it doesn't make that much of a difference to get it exact due to the very good vertical dispersion of the Axiom center channel speakers. But it doesn't take much effort to get it right either, so why not?

Yes the wall is false, it is built about 12" in front of the concrete basement wall which was roughly drywalled by the builders. There is actually a window back there as well, I just stuffed the whole window well full of insulation to keep light off the back of the screen There is enough room to reach in there if I need to, I had to hook one of the W22's up from behind as I didn't leave quite enough wire... lol. The electronics will be in the back left corner of the room in a little 22" squared cubby hole... That can't really be set up until the carpet is in, it's killing me waiting.



This room is going to be the death of him, I know it.



As above, not yet. I am planning on firing the projector for the first time tonight. Of course the carpet I wanted (black) is not in stock anywhere so it had to be ordered.

Thanks everyone for the comments... I was hoping to help the OP and don't want to derail the thread, I'll get a new thread and some more pics when it is totally complete.

My thoughts exactly

Nicely done so far, makes me wish I could set up a true HT as well

Potatohead. Your set up totally helps me out! I am moving and building a new theater so trying to "learn all that is learnable" (like Vger) before I start. I only have 8 ft ceilings in my new basement and have a support beam just above my screen. this means If i have a decent sized screen say 93 inches or so I will probably have to mount my center at least a few feet below ear level. Since i will have 2 rows i will want to angle to provide proper audio projection for both rows. I like your angled solution and will probably do something like that too. Thanks for the visual. Much easier to see it than understand an explaination.
