This isn’t just another picture of Lola in the studio …

it’s a step toward making my #DolbyAtmos system sound the way it’s really meant to.

Right now, I’m testing a new pair of speaker stands to see if they’re stable enough to do what I want to do with them. They are! Now I need two more pairs.

Just to be clear, this is the ^rear^ of the studio – it was a lot easier to access the speakers for a stand test than to start with the front.

I’ve raised the height channels so they’re closer to the ceiling, instead of sitting on top of the surround speakers … 

but this is only step one. They’re still bouncing the audio off the ceiling – which is one of the modes they were designed for …

but what I need to do now is rotate them 90° so the backs are vertical, and the speakers are angled down at the center of the room, and firing directly at me. That’s the alternate mode, and the speakers have a crossover switch so that the EQ curves are proper for each one.

I think I know how to do it, but I’m still working on the final design. I’ll keep you posted. I live in an apartment, so I can’t just drill into the ceiling to mount them – hence the stands.

Lola is actually lying on one of my synthesizers … I have to negotiate with her if I want to use it.
