Hi everyone, Impressive setup you have there. I'm also building an 8 speaker ambisonic setup, although budget limitations will force me to buy something like YamahaHs50, KRK rokit, or Mackies... something in the 150€ price range per speaker.
ThomasChen do you use two octagons one above the other? I'm researching about my speaker positioning, and considering two quads (rectangles), one vertical and one horizontal. The goal is to provide a small space (3 by 3 meters) with 3D sound with ambisonics. Whats the general though on 8 speaker positioning? I attached an idea of the placing, for illustration purposes. best regards, Pedro On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 6:38 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Darren > > I am using a dual octagon setup with ambisonic plus stereo playback.
