Now that we are getting into inwall speakers I was wondering how you hid the speakers at the screen - is there a false wall and then a covering everything sits behind?
Hi James,
no in-walls in my place... my home theater room is in the souterrain of a house that was built in 1899/1900. The walls are solid concrete/brick with 25" and more in thickness. And the house is under preservation order, as we lost a lot of buildings from that area in world war II here in Stuttgart.
I took off the screen to show how it looks behind:
So I built wooden stands to get my subs in the right position for the single bass array. The subwoofer stands proved usefull to fix the screen on a bar between them. The Dynaudio speakers are on the original Dynaudio stands that can be mounted directly to the speaker, without the use of a top plate or the like. The metal tubes of the stand are filled with fire dried sand.
One could say that the screen is big enough to cover the technology...
I am thinking about a acoustically transparent curtain that also works as screen masking for 16:9 content on my 21:9 screen. That material could also be used to cover the areas below and above the screen.
For the rears, I had to go on-wall as well:
You might notice that I have 3 surrounds (Dynaudio Contour S R) per side... I am doubling the signal of the side surrounds and added a digital delay for two of them. So my 7.1 Bryston SP-3 is now a 9.1 unit...
BTW, any news on a Dolby ATMOS capable DSP board from MDS that could go into the SP-3 one day? I haven't wired the room for ATMOS yet, but I am already looking for additional Dynaudio Contour S R speakers on the second hand market that could be fixed on the ceiling...
The Dolby ATMOS demos on the High End trade fair in Munich were promising...
Cheers!
Markus
