I’m using my MK Sur55T Tripoles as Atmos Speakers on the Ceiling and they are amazing in that role. Way better then I expected!


I know in a Commercial Atmos Cinema the Speaker Arrays are like 30 ft above you so they have really wide Dispersion.

In my Room they are about 8ft from my seat. I think the Tripoles have that really big dispersion pattern but also can be super accurate for precise placement of Atmos Audio objects.

I find that the Atmos effects are placed perfectly overhead with exceptional coverage. I’m definitely a fan of using these as dedicated Atmos Speakers. I have heard nothing better to Date.

Issue with tripole is one side is out of phase, it may be better if all three sides were in phase?
 
Doesn’t seem to be an issue at all. Coverage and placement of sounds is phenomenal.
 
Hi OP. I have a pair of these tucked away somewhere. How did you secure them to the ceiling? Thanks
 
my ceiling has angled sides so they are mounted with the Wall Bracket’s they came with. They have a threaded hole too,so if you wanted to mount them on the ceiling facing the floor you could use omni brackets.
