Denon AVR x6400h. Setting my receiver to Direct shows an output of Atmos from the XBOX, which could be forced through the XBOX itself I guess. Output shows Atmos as well. I am getting upmixing through all 11 speakers in BLOPS, but only 9 in RDR2.
pretty good for their size
Okay, here's the annoyingly odd thing about Red Dead Redemption 2: it is only in 5.1, regardless of what the system is set to.
Yeah that one is probably my favorite.
Totally.
From what I've been seeing, it seems like XBOX is forcing Atmos on everything lately, even if not mastered for it. The result is the crackling and popping in games without Atmos support. I do not bother with switching the XBOX output based on what I'm playing or watching, I've just kept it on Bitstream for Dolby Atmos.
Tons worth purchasing and, honestly, north of even probably $150 you're going to get objectively better sound than your TV is producing.
Yep, got a playbar in the living room and love it.
Yeah, and to be entirely transparent, the Sonos one has tons of functionality that's more useful if you intend to do multiroom music at some point. If not, that same $700 can probably get you a same/better soundbar with a subwoofer (not included with the sonos bar, but you can get one) that will likely outperform the sonos bar, if you're really only going to use it for games/movies/tv type stuff.
5ch stereo should at least get it through all main channels. Not guessing you'll get heights tho. Not sure how 2ch source music works with Dolby surround
Nice. I love my SVS. Nothing like a great sub to top off a great surround sound setup
I was utterly floored at how big the PB-2000 is. I just got one a few weeks back myself.
My PB-2000 sits in the "traditional" subwoofer placement, front and to the left of the display. It's about 6" away from the main listening position. As for volume, I have it dialed all the way to "LFE."
Oh, ha! Sorry. I couldn't tell you what I set the volume to (I'm not at home), but I dialed it in during my Audyssey setup to match 75db.
My volume on the subwoofer is almost to the 12 o'clock position. Your room is surely different than mine, but I thought I should follow up with an answer regardless.
Behold, the glory of the Neutrik speakON connector!
Thank you. This is a stupid question, but can one cable from the sub touch the cable from the speaker? Since both need to go in one hole...
When I used to hook them up, I'd try to put them in opposing "sides" of the binding post, but yes. They don't mention anything about "make sure they don't touch!" in the manual.
Ummmm, I wouldn't say that....
Yeah basically that's what I've seen that apple owns the out of ear buds market, and not a single person has made anything close to it. Maybe samsung with their earbuds paired with their phones, but past that? I can't find anything, but for 40$ and using my apple earbuds till the days done? They are so fucking worth 40$.
I believe that Pure or Pure Direct mode turns off all of the Audyssey stuff, so I wouldn't use it in your situation.
Don't use dynamic volume, as it will compress the signal. I tend to use Dolby Surround or PCM Multi In + Dolby as you are.
The pure and pure direct do turn it off. But auto doesn't which was what I had set it to. I looked on info and it said dynamic volume was still at medium so I think it's all good.
The "+Dolby" is your receiver upmixing the source to include any additional speakers you have. This brief HighDef Digest article has the listener doing a quick review; I find it is a good starting point to understanding what Dolby Surround and DTS Neural: X.
