Angle of centre speaker.

[atkins4725]

Afternoon ppl,

My centre speaker sits directly in front as it should, however, it's not really angled towards my ears. It's aim is more towards my lower chest. Any ideas what I could use to change the angle so it's more at ear level???

Personally, I use these:

Cheers Jammoe, much appreciated.

I use some of this

 

[Xanderzdad]

Front - squash ball cut in half

Rear - Blu-tack

Perfect angle for me.

This would also be my suggestion.

It supports, isolates and angles, all at the same time......it's the hifi equivalent of a brassiere!

Nothing finishes the look of a system quite like a door stop wedged under the centre speaker, lol.

Yup I use the same. Depending on your centre, it can complement quite well - my black B&W centre sits flush on top and blends in nicely with the pads.

 

[atkins4725]

Out of interest, which model do you have??

 

[Alantiggger]

Goodness.... that's something I never as in NEVER thought about... great question with equally great answers... looking into it.

Sad as it may seem I have mine sitting in my cabinet and it is level.

I use Flatfeet Sorbothane pads under my centre speaker. See link before for details. I use the larger ones at the front and the smaller ones at the rear, which angles my speaker perfectly.

Will it? Why would you want that?

I found a bouncy ball when cleaning out my sofa. Amazing what you find down there. Cut it in half and used that.

And your spelling, you mean "droll", drôle is the French spelling...

 

[fayeanddavid]

And your spelling, you mean "droll", drôle is the French spelling...

Yes, I know, somehow can't bring myself to use the droll expression, (rhymes with doll, just doesn't sound right) doesn't have any character, where as to me "drole" hits the high notes in what is trying to be said

IMHO of course

However, and moving on.....................

Auralex Mopads have arrived, totally underwhelmed by the product itself, in terms of medium density open cell foam that has been machine cut........................but, and it is a big but, but is does seem to work!!!

So I have coloured in (in Black) the faces of the Mopads that can be seen, placed all four under the R600C, angled up at 4 degrees, and have to admit a definite improvement in sound, whether this is fully down to decoupling/isolation or just that the speaker is now angled up is, and will continue to be, a moot point in my mind.

But the deed is done, the speake looks good, the product is the product and the centre speaker sound has definitely improved (see possible caveat above).

Auralex don't do designer looks, but their stuff usually gets the job done.

Glad it worked out
