  1. This isn’t just another picture of Lola in the studio …

    it’s a step toward making my #DolbyAtmos system sound the way it’s really meant to.

    Right now, I’m testing a new pair of speaker stands to see if they’re stable enough to do what I want to do with them. They are! Now I need two more pairs.

    Just to be clear, this is the ^rear^ of the studio – it was a lot easier to access the speakers for a stand test than to start with the front.

    I’ve raised the height channels so they’re closer to the ceiling, instead of sitting on top of the surround speakers … 

    but this is only step one. They’re still bouncing the audio off the ceiling – which is one of the modes they were designed for …

    but what I need to do now is rotate them 90° so the backs are vertical, and the speakers are angled down at the center of the room, and firing directly at me. That’s the alternate mode, and the speakers have a crossover switch so that the EQ curves are proper for each one.

    I think I know how to do it, but I’m still working on the final design. I’ll keep you posted. I live in an apartment, so I can’t just drill into the ceiling to mount them – hence the stands.

    Lola is actually lying on one of my synthesizers … I have to negotiate with her if I want to use it.

  2. Hoping maybe the #Fediverse hive mind has some ideas about a problem.

    My old workhorse Onkyo AV receiver died a few months back, and I replaced it with a Denon AVR-S970H. And it's driving me nuts.

    My #TV is old, from the final generation of plasmas. Great picture. Sound is okay, but it only understands stereo and mono in uncompressed or AC-3 formats. Anything else sent to it - different codec, or multichannel/surround - is ignored and you get no sound. But that's okay!

    Most of the things I watch that have stereo sound I just want to listen to through the TV anyways - TV shows, old non-spectacle movies, documentaries, all that sort of stuff. When I have a Big Movie with a #surround soundtrack, that's when I want to listen to it through the fancy speakers and the #AVR.

    With my old #Onkyo, this was easy: the receiver always played the sound through itself and also sent it to the TV. If I wanted simple stereo, I'd just mute the receiver. If it was a surround sound thing, the TV just ignored it.

    The #Denon... doesn't do this. I have to configure whether to output the sound through the TV, or through the AVR. There's no option for "both".

  3. The Blue Man Group's AUDIO album is one of my favorite multi-channel high res 192/24 audio albums that I have. The mix itself, the incredible highs, the insanely rich base. Completely independent tracks written for each speaker. It's unfortunate that 5.1 music never really caught on, though I am happy that most live concerts recorded today are in 5.1. #music #highdefinition #highresolution #SurroundSound #Surround #audio #dvdaudio #sacd
