Audio Question Speaker Location in Regards to Height

[Eric Z]

Hey Eddie! Remember writing "which volume would be more dominent to the average persons ears, the speakers 2 feet above the ear level or 1 foot below?" ???

If you had an SPL meter you wouldn't have had to ask the question would you??? Therefore, in the real world, you did have use for one. You remind me of an acquaintance who always says "I have no use for a car", and then he continually hits up everyone else for a ride. You see, in reality he does have a use for a car but prefers not have one. The irony hasn't caught up with him any faster than it has with you.

Heathen??? Tell you what, find me someone else who says an SPL meter is useless to set up a theater. Until then you might want to check out the definition of heathen because I'm pretty sure you have no idea what it means.

Regards,
jc

all i know is that i am hung like a bull-gnat. I do know that your front speakers r/l should be at ear level. Center channel does not need to be placed at ear level. The center speakers need to be pointed at your face. So if the center is placed too high to can put a book or something underneath it to angle the speaker towards you. The rears are supposed to be 3-4 feet above your ears. my rears speakers are at different levels. One is about three feet above me to my left and the right side is about two feet above my ear level..A guy has to experiment with the way he wants it..I used the mic setup for my receiver and had to tweek from there. Crossovers can be a pain to deal with also. with my room being 25ftx25ft ...My tv and stereo system is in one side of the room because I have a fireplace right in the middle so I have a hard time trying to perfect the system to my ears. It seeems like I adjust things everytime I put in a different cd because the recording varialbes are so different from one to another......rambling....time for another busch light
