I REALLY hate the way these glasses are being marketed. You DON'T want a screen that moves with your head. It means that the only way you can see the corners of the screen is purely by moving your eyes - and that's pretty tiring. The ultimate system would be something like a BigScreen Beyond - but with 4k HDR visuals, and as wide an FOV as possible. Also, I don't understand the speakers - surely you'd want to hide the gap at the back with some sort of cover that blends in with the existing design? And, being really picky, I don't see much point of even using a tweeter for Atmos positional sound - I can't imagine it would have the power to throw sound that far - a single cone would have been sufficient.

@@zKaltern its possible to lock the screen in place but you will need to use their jank beam device inbetween your input and the glasses.

I have a pixel 7 and plan to upgrade to a 9 when they come out and nebula doesn't support it, the only device that works out of the box for me is my steam deck which is clunky af if you just want to watch a movie. To actually view your screen off a pixel you need the get a jank usb-c coverter and display link stuff that defeats the purpose of the glasses.

It's sad if RealAndy is not spitting sarcasm. The DIY Perks are among the worst DIY speakers (just a money and time pit for mediocre results) on YT alongside Zac's various ones. Those sound deadening panels don't remotely work the way claimed. They absorb poorly for a given volume (the manufacturers tout STC per weight) and not evenly across frequencies. The whole deadened waveguide would still not work even if the panels were better acoustic material like mineral wool or Owens 703. It's bad geometry.

@@aaronb1138 Have you heard them? (I haven't) but why is it woodwork specialist think they can make a speaker just based on volume and an off-the-peg crossover? Crossovers have to be matched to every speaking the system. Active crossovers are better but not ideal unless designed to go with the drivers. Square boxes are always going to be shit no matter what you stuff in them due to the reflections from the different distances from the rear to the reflective surface. A spherical baffle box is much more accurate - no corners. And that looks more like "simulated" Atmos. I don't even want to dig into the psychoacoustics of height and width information. I noticed a difference in digital headphone HRTF when I switched from a game tuned headset to some Beyerdynamics.

Does it feel like a large screen when you're working on it, or only for consuming content? And I don't have a readily accessible wall 12 feet away, because I only have a small room.

I achieved the best faux height bed by running the receiver in the 7.1 configuration, aiming both rear surround speakers up &15 degrees forward. I then measured the distance from the speaker to ceiling and back down to listening position to set distance (13ft) then I set the crossover for these 2 speakers to 150hz (anything lower becomes directional) The result is it sounds like I have speakers installed in the ceiling. I did not even come close to this good of a result using height channel configurations, that dolby reflect setting or auto room calibration.

1) There’s no positive benefit to setting the baffle back from the front. You may mitigate some reflections with the lining, but dramatically impact the radiation of the sound. 2) For the interior, your sound deadening material is lined with aluminum. That creates its own resonances. That product is good as a sound barrier, not to reduce resonance from the inside. 3) The port interacts with the open space behind it and is designed with an expected distance from the wall. Since you’ve changed the orientation of the original design, you would be better served with a sealed speaker. 5) Why not just build with MDF and then use walnut veneer. At least you would have been able to replace the veneer instead of tossing the completed boxes.

If you want a meaningful improvement to your sound, move your tower speakers away from the wall. Backing them up to the wall is hampering their ability to open up. Ideally you want them about 3’ away from the wall but if that’s not feasible for your space, any distance is better than none but the closer to 3’ the better

There are many reasons to see a film in a theater no matter how good your home theater is from a technical perspective. Primarily, it’s a dedicated environment to experience the film that shuts out distractions and allows you to focus on the story. In addition, there is power in the communal experience, especially for big tent pole films. While this can be a double edged sword, there is value to having the same experience alone together with a room full of strangers.

So the atmos drivers dont sound correct because of 2 things, power, and angle. You need them to be angled to bounce the sound pretty much 3/4ths of the way from you sitting to the speaker, and you need to run them sorta hot compared to what you might think. Then, there is the problem with it being a 2 way offset design. Most up-firing atmos speakers are full range drivers or concentric because of the narrow angle they need to play in, and the dispersion characteristics of those drivers in the high frequency. Also, they are usually being played ~120hz and up to avoid omnidirectional waves. Just some thoughts to consider!

I would believe if you changed your speaker tilt towards you that you would get more of an overhead sound. For getting a specific directional sound (or more than you got) we'll take a page out of live sound and use square speakers instead of round ones. If you use these and middle the speakers in the cabinet (both tweeter and mid/sub), having the lip that you used with the wood and the added foam will help make the direction of the sound more controllable. If you want to go crazy, if you add more lip and calculate the angles, you can nearly redirect all sound in 1 direction. Kind of like using a parabolic dish, but square. A lot of live sound speakers have the square siren shape where the speakers project because it focuses sound in one direction than in a cone shape like typical speaker cabinets. This is just what I remember from my live sound class in school, tech has probably changed and I could be so wrong :P

You should try playing a particular spot in the game where you feel the height is quiet prevalent and the Atmos is doing exactly what you expect.... even play it a couple of times so you know what to "look" for/"listen" for ... THEN disconnect the height speakers ... right at the back of the speaker - NOT disabling them in software.... then play that same part of the game again and see if there is a noticeable difference... This, I feel, is the ONLY WAY to TRULY know how much the reflection off the ceiling is actually doing what you think (it isn't by the way LOL - there is VERY LITTLE actually reflecting.... it's (mostly) all coming from the speakers and them being at an angle and you just perceiving that as being 'above' the typical sound plane.... putting speakers ABOVE YOU is best way to get them to come from above... (or using beam forming speaker tech and a reflective surface like metal and using PRECISE aiming.. but that is a whole other can of worms LOL) BUT like you said, Dolby Atmos isn't about the Height channel coming from ABOVE you but creating height to the things in front of you :) - I am still VERY IMPRESSED with you setup!!!!

when using the dynamat stuff im pretty sure you only need a small portion in the middle of the material (not having to cover the entire area) .. for example a 6 square inch piece on a rear quater panel that is like 3 foot ... this coming from the "old timers" from the audio shop i worked at for many years.. not many people get it installed much these days though cause car manufacturers have their own stuff preinstalled now .. just my 2 cents

If you watch The Last of Us, the first episode has a scene where they're driving, and a plane flys overhead. The atmos makes it feel like you're in the car with them as the plane flys bye

You can also buy pre made Car Audio crossovers from most brands.... I have had 3 sets of crossovers along my way and some offer better options than others, you can have + or - 3 db and other options... I used to install car audio all the time and most component speakers have crossovers and people often only use the mid speaker to replace a factory speaker and sell the crossovers.

I traded a much more expensive guitar amp for a Crown Com-Tech 400 power amp from an AMC Movie theater. It has special AMC branded XLR input and separate passthrough. I Bought it just for the AMC #STONKS It will later power a separate folded horn 18", but for now, the Klipisch Professional line 12" floor monitor (from eBay) The main #JUICE will be the Behringer PMP4000 powered mixer pushing the dual 15" JBL JRX225. This caught my attention because #Movietheater

My verdict is out... on the idea of optical glasses. Humans weren't designed to focus so close for extended periods, currently there are so studies that support my basis. But the idea is cool! Your production value designing, fabrication, and video audio quality are bar none Love it keep em coming. Thanks

If you want to hear a COOL effect, Take a Mid Range High Range speaker and instead of connecting it to the Left or Right channel... Connect Positive R to the RED lead and Positive L to the BLACK lead of the speaker, NOW what you will hear is some AWESOME effects such as Only Opposing Feild Sounds will appear on the speaker you hook up this way and in Movies it sounds AMAZING - we used to do this before Dolby Existed and actually, it's kinda how Primitive systems worked... It Ampifies Opposing MONO channel frequencies and "Silent Channels" Let me know if you got to read my comment or if you get to try this method out.

Can I suggest an improvement to the cabinets. First, fix half inch bracing down the centre line of each panel to make them more rigid. Then pour Plaster of Paris in either side, each time with the cabinet on a slope, so as to create an asymmetrical layer at least half an inch thick in each section. But, importantly, poured in so that no inner surfaces are parallel. Then add those acoustic panels on top of the drying Plaster of Paris. You will now have dense, weighty and sound absorbent cabinets.

So as far as HRTF, you would have got a much better experience if you add opted to use the PlayStation video game HRTF engine, Tempest 3D, it's a real-time multi-positional sound engine, unlike Atmos, which is just a sample encode/decoder, no different to DTS or DD, in fact, DTS Master and Dolby TrueHD Audio completely spanks Atmos, but yes, Tempest 3D is the first true hardware level HRTF we have has since EAX and A3D before that.

I remember there was a Visaton paper from the mid 80s which compared all sorts of speaker building materials, using the their then best anechoic chamber in Europe. The winner was... something like i forget concrete bitumen sandwich or something like that. Or was it glass bitumen sandwich. But for practical materials it was MDF. However the conclusion was that you get the same exact outcome out of any wood if you just use an approximately 30% thicker piece. For side pieces, you can also just brace them on an odd angle. For the front, thicker and inherently deader was better. But i also think nobody should really care about how good surround speakers sound, as long as they have vaguely the same character in the midrange and treble as main stereo speakers. Not that they necessarily do here with their cones of shame in the front and being used an indirect source, but... worth an experiment i guess :D Console games lean heavily into object audio APIs, where the game tells the system the position of sound emitters, while the console figures out how to render or output this to a suitable spatial audio. It's less widespread on PC, where some games do that but the majority do internal audio rendering and only support the most standard types of speaker arrays. Outright crimes are common, for example you'd think good spatial audio would be quite important for Apex Legends including height cues, but it entirely lacks HRTF, it just has the crudest panning you might imagine and worse.

Toy clearly didn't get it at all, the most important thing of the cinemas is the HUGE screen, for sound surround there are plenty of already made solutions that are great, you're reinventing the wheel unnecesarily here.
