Q: What is Dolby Atmos?
A: To put it simply, Dolby Atmos is the greatest advancement in home and cinema audio since surround sound. The addition of elevation speakers reflects sound from the ceiling to put sound anywhere in your room - making you feel like you’re truly in the middle of the action.

Q: How do I wire these up as atmos up firing on top of existing front tower speakers?
A: You need at least a 7.1 receiver, to set up Dolby Atmos 5.1.2, or 5.2.2. My Denon has a set up option under amplifiers to where you switch the rear channel to height. Hook up your front placement atmos speakers to that rear output. Either on top or next to your tower speakers, or whatever you’re using for your front left and right. Use the microphone to set up your speakers if you have a Denon. And then run test tone to make sure when it gets to the rear speakers it’s actually firing your front Atmos speakers.

Q: How far do I have to sit from these if they are height mounted to gain the effect?
A: If you are using them as height channels, you can generally mount them as high up on the wall as you like. Dolby themselves say the speaker should be at an angle 30 to 45 degrees above listening position. Eight or nine feet up the wall should suffice.

Q: Can I hang these on the wall as rear speakers in a 5.1 system?
A: Yes, there is a switch on the bottom of the speaker. You can set it for Atmos setup or for regular surround system. There is a keyhole slot on back to hang the speakers on your wall.
