Mallette Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I am completing plans for my new E-Learning Group building and could use your thoughts on the conference room. My video department will "debut" their stuff here, so I am doing it pretty decent by corporate standards. I've spec'd the R-5800-W II (x3) / R-5650-S II (x2) / R-112SW System for the room. Here's a close up of it with all layers turned off except the displays/AV, walls and such. I'll be ordering everything next week. The monitor will be a Sharp Aquos 4K 80" and that part is already on order. I've an RFQ out for the Klipsch and won't change that either. My main interest is in the placement of the speakers...they are all flush mount except, of course, the sub. Thoughts in the placement area would be welcome.

Paducah Home Theater Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 If someone was already doing a room full of in-wall Reference stuff anyway and doesn't need killer bass, I wonder if the RW-5802 would be pretty nice in this environment.

Mallette Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 The system I spec'd was the only in-wall system I saw. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The system I spec'd was the only in-wall system I saw. Dave I just meant for the subs instead of that 12" box out in the floor, that model is two 8" in-wall subs. Seems like it could save some floor space in an environment like this.

Mallette Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks, MLO. I have spec'd for the RW-5802. Frankly, the Klipsch site is virtually unusable and you really have to dig to find anything. No, doesn't get into the depths but that isn't really required.

Thaddeus Smith Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 What furniture is in this room? Long table .. rows of chairs .. ? and where is the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Looks like this, Michael... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 So i wonder about the effectiveness in placing those side surrounds in the middle of the table vs. the wall opposite the screen ...but then you have a door in the way.

Mallette Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 True. But that brings up a point. I'll likely buy a sub-1k Yamaha YPAO HT receiver for this. I've found YPAO to be really good at setup. Those surrounds have angled transducers to fire forward and back. Should I put the calibration mic centered between them?

CECAA850 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Keep the side speakers on the side walls and move them rearward in the room to at least the rearmost seat. You'll never be able to calibrate it where it sounds good from all seats so don't stress too much. It's a horrible room for HT if you look at it from a seating prospective.

Paducah Home Theater Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Is this for training videos? I'm surprised surround sound stuff would be mixed in at all if it's anything like what we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 What about 4 sides as opposed to 2? Just Y out of the preamp to separate amps. You'd have much better coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 It's a multi-purpose room, Carl. One size fits nobody... MLO, our videos are, well, a bit above average. One of my video guys has 4 Emmy's, 4 National Press Photographers Association Best of the Year Awards, etc, etc. For the "nuts and bolts" stuff, we don't get crazy with surround but it really costs nothing to put the ambient rig noises, of which there are plenty, on surround channels for classroom use and keep the narration on the center channel. Plus we do one or more "image" pieces every year for marketing, new employee indoctrination, etc. where the fancy stuff is important.
