I have a rustic movie room with home made beams running across the ceiling. I am looking to use 4 of these as Atmos ceiling speakers. I make the ceiling beams myself so I can make them to fit the speakers. They are hollow so should I block off the...

I am. Using four of them as ceiling speakers and they are performing remarkably well. Can't answer the question about the beans but I do know they work great as ceiling speakers

If you go to their website you can live chat and ask. These are on a knuckle and may be angled down until your beam spread is not intrusive

I used my wall mounts on the ceiling. They're just fine. You can't mount them "in-ceiling" if that's the question.

Not for the front speakers if they would be ceiling mounted. Most of your voices during movies will only come thru the your front two channels and the center channel, and if they are aimed down they will not be as clear. I only did them for the side and rear speakers but used the regular front and center channel speakers for the front. When I listen to music and run 7 channel stereo they sound amazing but still the most noticeable sound will be from your front speakers. My suggestion is to buy a really good center channel speaker since that is what makes the dialog understandable.

I bought the ceiling storage for my projector in my living room and to be honest its the wood or material you choose to use as a shelf that will make it look good. I'm using a nice wood oak shelf and it looks real nice. Hope this helps

None what so ever, I have mine in the basement under the kitchen in a joist cavity and no issues. You can always place a layer of bat insulation in the cavity to prevent further. There is not much bass generation mostly directional surround of mid's and tweets.

I'm not sure I understand the question These speakers have a built in face flange that sits against the ceiling material. Once the hole for the speaker is cut the speaker gets installed through the hole and the flange prevents it from going all the way through. The face flange would rest against the sloped ceiling all the way around its circumference. Hope this answers your question and makes sense. If not ask again with more detail.

I mounted mine under the room ledge and they sound great. I mounted them vertically and the bass reflects off the overhang. Great outdoor speakers with really good sound. I have one each on the corners and 2 round ceiling speakers centered on the lanai. They work great together

Um mm hard to say....There nice speakers and nice looking...I think they would look a little funny on the ceiling. I would mount them on the wall. As I have mine that way....they look and sound great. Helps being a 3 way speaker as well.

It is over our kitchen table and looks great...BUT...even with a dimmer switch attached we find it too glary. I've been trying to find some sort of shield or baffle to block the direct light but haven't had any luck online. All the ones I've found are for light bulbs that face up or down, while these are horizontal.

It sounds like you have a constraint that has no other option but the ceiling. Mine are mounted in the ceiling and shooting straight down to where I sit/view TV. I imagine they would be fine in your installation since the tweeters are adjustable to aim toward you.

I hung mine from the ceiling using omni mount 10.0's. Sturdy mount and easy to adjust the aim or position of the speakers and lock them in place. If you want speaker stands, anything with a platform large enough for the speakers to fit on should be just fine.

You shouldn't have a problem but make sure you use a stud finder to place it under a beam or you'll have problems. There is a vaulted ceiling attachment you can buy and screw into your ceiling.

i used staple gun to attach directly to beams, then put 1" raisers ( metal channel) to separate drywall from beams. this gives air space, same on ceiling, but you def need several people as it is very heavy.

Some speakers come with hardware that secures the frame to the ceiling. Unfortunately, that wasn't true in my case, so I used Liquid nails (applied all around the edges) to glue the speaker backing to the ceiling. It has worked fine.

The only speakers you should have in the front of your theater are- Front left, right, and center. These speakers are well suited for your surround speakers in a 5.x setup. Di, bi, omni, etc pole speakers are made for effect speakers. I know the industry tries to market and sell 7ch, 9, ch, 11, ch, and now atmos, but I have demo'd many many systems and in my HT I am using 5.2, which after spending 10's of thousands on home audio is simply the best right now. 7. adds 2 rear channels, BUT no matter how well you set the system up for me the when the rears light up they distract you from the material. Also there is a list on the net with all the movies recorded in 7.X and it is not very impressive, so you are leaving it up to your AVR to decode and change the sound to suit 7 channels when it was recorded for 5.. Stick to 5.1 or .2 if you want dual subs, front heights, and fx speakers are non sense, and just good for costing money and distracting listeners...

it will definitely kill the echos and stop the sound from bouncing off any surface. you dont have to fill the room with the acoustic foam as well distributed sections will do the job. the color combination also helps the decoration.
