![]() ![]() If you have a TV that can swivel (via stand or wall mount), you want the sound to go with it. Mounting your soundbar to the TV is legit for a few reasons. Go grab that half bag of Cheetos Puffs and some purple drink and let's get to it.īefore we hit the "how" let's make like Aaron Donald and tackle the "why". Each has advantages, so read on to figure out which is best for you, and how to make it happen. With their slim design, soundbars are made to be mounted either to your TV or the wall. Now that we've poured one out for soundbars, let's talk about how to get the most out of your speaker. We no longer have to worry about running wires all over the place to piece together a sound system better than the crackerjack box that comes with your TV. It's right up there with fire and the wheel (of cheese). Or they can be mounted in the side walls vertically, with the reflecting speaker aimed towards the ceiling for height information for use in one of the newer advanced 3D surround-type systems.The soundbar is one of mankind's finest inventions. The Satellites can also be mounted in the side walls horizontally to provide surround and rear channel information. In most situations, the Skybar LCR and the Skybar Satellites will be set up in a U-shaped configuration, with the LCR at the front of the theater and the Satellites perpendicular to the front speaker in the ceiling towards the back and on either side of the room. The Skybar Satellite can either be configured to provide only surround channel information, or both surround and rear channel information. The reflecting speaker is mounted such that it fires into an angled channel to direct the waveform either towards a wall or ceiling for more diffuse rear or height sounds. The Skybar Satellite features two front firing 3-inch side or surround speakers, and a third 3-inch reflecting speaker. In this way, more Skybar LCRs can be added for the other channels in a situation where the listening area is extremely large, for example. The Skybar LCR can be configured as either a complete left/right/center setup – or in the alternative, the entire unit can operate as one channel depending on the system configuration. The drivers are mounted on an angled baffle board and the tweeter pivots allowing the sound wave to be directed downward towards the audience in an in-ceiling mount configuration, or left/right towards the audience in the case of an in-wall mounting situation. Inside the Skybar LCR are six 3-inch heavy duty, full-range drivers – two for the left channel, two for the right channel, and two full-range, along with a single 1-inch pivoting dome tweeter for the center channel. The Skybar LCR is versatile, so it can be also put in-wall or in a soffit if needed. TDG’s full $1,000 Skybar system uses three boxes – one Skybar LCR and two Skybar Satellites – to implement a full seven-channel surround sound system in a 6- x 25¼- x 3¾-inch enclosure. ![]() (TDG) might not be Superman, but he can lay claim to inventing an entirely new product category: the in-ceiling soundbar. Look, up in the sky (or in this case, the ceiling)… it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s a… soundbar? Jeff Francisco, president and CEO of The DaVinci Group, Inc. ![]()
