Re: [Sursound] Calculating speaker placement (Marc Lavall?e)

I have used the Bosch laser measure in a variety of contexts with great results. Assuming you have the horizontal angles marked out (which can be easily done on paper with a floor plan of the room), getting vertical angles and speaker distances is very fast and straightforward. You'd want to be s

Re: [Sursound] Calculating speaker placement

Hi Steve, Further to Marc's suggestion of laser pointers push through a dodecahedron. As the actual laser modules, rather than the assembled pointer, why not get a dodecahedron/icosahedron printed at Shapeways (or on your own printer if you've taken the plunge yet) with flat mounting points at a

Re: [Sursound] Calculating speaker placement

Thank you everyone for your input on this. Just to clarify. I don't need to find the angular positions of an existing speaker array. Although it would be good to check after installation. What I wanted was find the best position for each speaker, based on a dodecahedron, in a room that won't be

Re: [Sursound] Calculating speaker placement (Marc Lavall?e)

I always meant to complete a speaker position detector using either a Soundfield (or Bramha or Tetramic). By feeding each speaker in turn with a PSRB and cross-correlating that with the outputs of the mic both the position and the distance of each speaker could be acquired. If you don.t have a B

Re: [Sursound] Calculating speaker placement (Marc Lavall?e)

There's a laser distance measuring device from Bosch with built in incline measuring aka electronic level. Not too expensive and useful for many other things as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005AZZNXE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005AZZNXE&linkCode=as2&t

Re: [Sursound] Calculating speaker placement (Marc Lavall?e)

Hi Steve. I understand your problem. I have a similar one; in my case the calculations and the installation were easy, but I'd like to measure the exact angular positions of the (installed) loudspeakers. First you need the angular positions of the loudspeakers from the listening spot. It should

Hi Steve. You can use "golden rectangles" (of ratio 1/1.618) to calculate placements of your speakers. You can refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle -- Marc Wed, 9 Jul 2014 23:51:00 +0100, Ste

[Sursound] Calculating speaker placement

Hi All, After lots of head scratching (and buying more speakers), I have finally decided on a 32 identical speaker set up ( plus four subs) I have decided to base the array on platonic solids. Even though advise on this list has said there is no need, I wanted to be sure of the most accurate ang
