[Anyone using RP-500SA as heights channel ?]

I have them in this set up set to 80hz and switch to surround..
rear heights mounted to wall above listener..
as far a mininum setting that would be starting at 80hz and try 70hz and see if you like it, if not go in 5-10hz changes until your happy.
really depends on you and your room/equipment.80hz is always a good strating point mine are set at 80hz and my surrounds at 70hz fronts and center at 60hz.

I have 2 up top in the front as "heights" using the "surround" switch but when i did my audyssey setup i set them as top (not height).
i think i'm using 80hz for them.

Ok cool thanks

Hi,

 

Anyone using RP-500SA as heights channel for Atmos/dtsX/Auro3d ?? I assume the crossover switch would be set to "Surround" mode, may I know what was the min crossover setting? 80Hz ?

 

Thanks

[RP-500sa as front height]

 
Good question.  Klipsch only states that they "conform to Dolby Atmos standards."

YES !! I wonder why is that ! I'm sure potential buyers & existing Klipsch HT owners who are looking to add surround heights would like to know exactly how low these 500SA's get , Klipsch could have just provided that in the specsheet .

[RP-500sa as front height]

Hi all - first time posting (but long time lurker!). 
 
I recently upgraded my avr to include atmos (5.1.2). Current speaker setup is:
 
Fronts: La Scalas
Center: Heresy II
Surrounds: RS 3s
Sub: ML 1000
 
Very happy with the 5.1 setup. Atmos setup, however has been a major pain. I recently got a pair of RP-500sa for that and using it as upfiring has generally been meh. Tried all kinds of placements, played with level, height in the amp, but not much joy. So I’m going to try and install them as front heights (which is the reason I got these, in case the upfiring didn’t work too well). Requires a bit of of work, since my front wall (behind the screen) isn’t flush all the way, so I was hoping the upfiring would work. 
 
Question: as front heights, should I set the switch to Atmos or Surround? I would think the latter, for a full range sound but wanted to get opinions/views from more knowledgeable folks here.
 
Thanks. 
 

Hi

How low does the RP-500SA get when set in "surround" crossover mode ? Able to crossover at 80Hz ?

[Klipsch RP-500SA placement in 5.1.2 Atmos setup]

I plan on mounting a pair of Klipsch RP-500SA speakers on the rear wall just beneath the HVAC soffit as Top Middle Atmos speakers.  The width of the rear wall is 12 ft.  However, due to a storage space at the front of the room, my soundstage is only 9.5 ft. wide and shifts my seating to the right side of the room.  In the attached picture, the center sofa seat is in line with the center of the TV.  The back of the sofa is 26" from the rear wall.  I realize that having Top Middle Atmos speakers mounted in this position isn't ideal, but I will not be installing speakers in the ceiling and I don't want to use speakers that reflect off the ceiling.
 
My question is where (how far apart) should the RP-500SA speakers be placed on the rear wall?
 
I originally thought of spacing them equidistant within the 9.5 ft. width (from the front soundstage) behind the sofa.  In other words, the TMR speaker would be about 3 ft. from the corner with the curtain and the TML speaker would be another ~3 ft. over from that.  I know Dolby recommends top middle speakers be in line with the front L/R speakers, but I'm afraid the TMR speaker would then be too much in the corner, nearly firing into the curtain.  The TMR/TML speakers would also not be inside the width of the surrounds as is recommended by Dolby.  At the same time, I don't want to have the overhead speakers too close together and lose any effect created by having them separated.
 
I have the Klipsch RP-402S surrounds off to the side instead of behind and to the side since the latter would likely place them too close to the "overhead" Atmos speakers on the back wall.  Also, with them being so close to the sofa, I figured a wide dispersion speaker would be best.  Would moving the L surround speaker farther from the sofa and placing it against the side wall be ill-advised?  I can't say I'm a fan of seeing the rear of that speaker when entering the room, but if each speaker being equidistant from the MLP is best, I'll leave the surrounds as they are.
 
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hey,

By any chance do you know what's the frequency range for the RP-500SA ? How low do they go? Can they be crossed over at 80Hz ?

Thanks.
