Nitemare Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hey Guys, in my new appartment i am not able to put a center speaker directly beneath / infront of the TV: It is possible to put it on the ground though and angle it to the listening position. Another possible solution is to put the center on a lowboard NEXT to the TV (it would be about 50cm above the ground and around 50 cm next to the TV) What do you think about this? Would it be a big problem putting the center on the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Huge problem? No. But it is very much less than optimal? Absolutely. Why can't you set it in the entertainment center and then set Tv on top? Not sure what center you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 In general it is not considered ideal to angle speakers upward towards the listening position, but if that is your only option I would say go for it. The main problem will likely be when listening off-axis, there will a sharp drop-off in directivity. In my current living room setup I have an MTM that can't be placed horizontally directly under the TV so I have it offset to the right and placed vertically. It isn't perfect but the AVR made a slight adjustment to blend it with the L/R, and after that you get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It would work on the ground tilted up but not ideal. If that is the route you must go, make sure there is nothing obstructing like a coffee table between the speaker and the listener's ears.

CECAA850 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 While not on the ground, my center is directly under my TV and angled up. It sounds as if the voices are coming right out of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Either elevate the center channel to just below the bottom of the set pointing up towards the position, or above the TV pointing down towards the position. If you had a choice, choose the one that requires the least angle to reach your ears. If the TV is somehow right in the middle of your ears (top to bottom), then pick either and try it. Easier to elevate the speaker on a stand, box or something to start than it is to mount it and angle it downwards on a shelf or the like from above.

Nitemare Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Just for update purposes: I put the RC 64 II on the ground and it works just fine! I am happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
