Speaker Definition

Hi Guys 
Unfortunately for me I am not able to fit ceiling speakers for the Atmos effect .
So l will be making tower surround speakers wit Atmos up firing speakers built into the top of them. 
My question is , just for argument sake if my Atmos up firing speakers are point to the ceiling at a 45 degree will the sound wave bounce from the point were it hits the ceiling at 90 degrees. 
l am just trying to figure out the angle of the up firing speaker so the sound wave reflects to the listening position.
Cheers

Yes, it will give a reasonably "satisfactory" outcome.

I do t know if this will work for you, but there are a number of ‘angled’ speakers available that can be mounted on the roof:

Hi Billy 

I looked into this type of speaker and there is plenty to choose from . Unfortunately our living area is open plan lounge kitchen and dining and ready not that large . I have the aircon unit on the left of the listening position so that stuffed that speaker position and on the right we have the kitchen that has a slightly lowered ceiling with not enough depth for a speaker also , the back wall l could fit the rears though. 
Thanks for the suggestions guys .

All good.

 

I can’t find it (hopefully someone else will) - but there was another thread where someone in your situation had ingeniously suspended the Atmos speakers using some kind homemade suspension system.

I suspended speaker system would definitely work great . But l think the minister of no fun might suspend me from a rope also lol. I suggested using a drop down adaptor so l could get some extra depth to fit the ceiling speakers into them even that did not go down well lol.
