Rear height speaker Atmos question.

[Davanius]

Hi guys, I will be upgrading my current receiver to a 5.1.4 setup tomorrow and want to know where should the rear height speakers be placed.

I currently have a 5.1.2 setup with the front height speakers near ceiling level above the front left and right.

The rear surrounds are on the side wall at ear level as my seating position is against the back wall.

Should the rear height speakers be above the surrounds on the side wall or on the back wall opposite and in line with the front height speakers?

Thanks in advance.

I used this as a guide: https://www.dolby.com/us/en/speaker-setup-guides/index.html but will depend on room size, etc.

Thanks for the reply.

I managed to find the height guidelines in the pdf documents and I placed them on the side walls high above the side surrounds.

Ran the calibration and it sounds fantastic.

Midway sounded amazing with 2 height speakers but now with 4 it has plane sounds flyer all over the ceiling, truly epic.
