CAMBRIDGE SOUNDWORKS CENTER CHANNEL PLUS MOVIE

While not every movie had problems like this, it was enough of an issue that I wanted to change something. In my system at the time, the car would start at ear level in the front, move to ear level at the sides, and then suddenly shift to up high in the back. Say youвЂ™re watching a movie where the sound of a car zooms from the front of the room to the back. Having the other 5.1 speakers at ear level but the Surround Backs up high created an imbalance in the soundstage and a lot of confusion in sound objection directionality. In an ideal Atmos configuration, all 7.1 of the base layer channels should be at or near ear level, whereas I had the Surround Backs on the same plane as the height channels. One thing that left me particularly unsatisfied was that my Surround Back channels were mounted to the ceiling in the back of the room. When I initially installed Atmos, I had to make some compromises in speaker placement due to the way my former 7.1 system had been wired and installed when I built the home theater room. I then had to decide what to do with those MC200s, and that was especially complicated. Because I was left with a spare MC300 speaker that I didnвЂ™t want to put to waste, I next hunted down a second MC300 in order to replace my left and right Surround channels (formerly MC200s).

Replacing the center channel then triggered a chain reaction. That wasnвЂ™t the end of my changes, though. My front soundstage sounds a lot better now, not just for the rare mono movie but for everything I watch. Just look at how much more space it takes up on that stand, for starters. I have now moved up to the MC500, which is significantly larger and more powerful.

Previously, I used a model MC300 speaker for my center channel, as you can see in this old photo. The company used to have a big retail presence in my area, so its products (even high-end speakers) turn up pretty regularly on Craigslist and eBay. Fortunately, IвЂ™ve had a lot of good luck finding used Soundworks speakers for reasonable prices. The company doesnвЂ™t make home theater speakers at all now. If IвЂ™d had a better center channel, I shouldnвЂ™t have had to do that.ДЄs I explained in my prior post after I made the Atmos upgrade, upgrading speakers is a little tricky for me, because all of the speakers I have are from a brand (Cambridge Soundworks) that isnвЂ™t even in the home theater market anymore. I realized that this was a problem when I played a mono movie and found myself disabling that speaker in order to split the mono signal to my left and right front mains instead. In my case, wiring my home theater for 7.1.4 channels of surround sound made me question the adequacy of some of my speakers вЂ“ especially my center channel speaker, which is tasked with reproducing the majority of dialogue and significant portions of any movie soundtrack. Is it ever possible to be happy with what we have? However, as these things usually go, making one big change inevitably prompted even more.

The P300HD powered subwoofer is featured in our MC630HD 5.1 Home Theater System and our MC630HD 2.1 Home Theater System.When I added Dolby Atmos surround sound to my home theater a few months ago, I expected that to be the last major upgrade that I would tackle for a while. The P300HD features a cool running, energy efficient 300-watt class-D amplifier making it the ultimate subwoofer to deliver heart-pounding bass and complement your home theater system. Instead of rattling everything in the room it excites the air, delivering a pure-bass experience without the distortion of hearing all the other things in the room rattled. This is noticed by the fact that the subwoofer does not transmit any vibration into the floor on which it is placed. Deploying three speakers opposed by another set of speakers on the opposite side of the cabinet ensures that movements of the speaker cones are balanced, thus preventing the enclosure from vibrating. The P300HD features six high-excursion 6 1/2-inch transducers mounted on opposite faces of the enclosure. Our engineers developed the P300HD Powered Subwoofer with a unique design to virtually eliminate all vibrations, which are the primary cause of distortion in a subwoofer.
