Onkyo TX-SR494 Review

Which make sure your video experience whether with TV or projector it becomes the finest one. Every scene would look so perfect and realistic. Moreover, the support of 4:4:4 color space makes it easier to work with a projector also. The center speaker includes dual 8cm woofers plus a 2.5cm tweeter. It also has theoretical power of 130W. I like the size of this speaker. I had in the past a few oversized center speakers that looked really huge. This one i would say is almost at perfect size for a medium sized Home Entertainment System. I would like it to be just a bit bigger but I have no problem as it is as it has enough power to give you clear sound even at a distance. THX Multimedia rating is for computer speakers. Recommendation is 70cm for optimal listening distance (ears to speakers) and for those Z906 best results were gotten when they were between 50cm - 1meter from listener (for front three) and for surrounds double the amount of distance (~1,5m). Without forgetting the speakers should be in front of you and placed ear height. So yes the Logitechs works best at close to listener.

With many mind-blowing features, this Onkyo TX-SR494 offers ease of installation and setup. The system is so straightforward for you not to even look at the guidebook.Obviously the most straightforward option is to add speakers on the ceiling in either a two or four channels configurations. This provides the best solution as the sound source is really where it should and you get better resolution and clarity from the Atmos effects. In the beginning these were few and far between but now you can find plenty of designs, either in a floorstanding design or bookshelf speaker. Many manufacturers like Dali, Monitor Audio or KEF are even making dedicated Atmos speakers that are designed in such a way that you can either attach them on the ceiling or place them directly on top of your floorstanding or bookshelf speakers if you prefer to go for an up-firing Dolby Atmos system and look as an extension of your main speakers. The latest HD content, or movies, and latest video games you can enjoy smoothly. Smooth Bluetooth Streaming With PS5 all is working but i think it’s only because PS5 doesn’t support dolby vision…the only thing i can’t understand is that if i connect the ps5 directly to the tv the output is rgb 12b 4l8, but if i connect it to the sync box it will be YCBCR422 8b (like the fire cube with the enhanced dolby enabled). The surround speakers offer single 8cm cones each, with theoretical power of 130W. These speakers really are very light and you should be careful where you place them because it is very easy to fall over since they can either be mounted on a base or on the wall.

Take a look about Dolby`s recommendation for speaker placement and then it`s up to you to make the necessary changes in your room. Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 Speaker Setup But this does not mean you will not be able to connect to today’s gaming system, or speakers even streaming devices. Because of the HDMI and USB, you can easily connect them. This receiver just plugs and enjoys the process. But there is also an alternative if the option to add speakers on your ceiling is out of the question. Manufacturers understand that your house is not an ideal environment as a cinema is so they had to become creative in this regard. And for this reason they created front speakers with an extra driver that are targeting the ceiling of you room. The sound that emits from these up-firing drivers will bounce on the ceiling and will come down to you as if they would originally come from the top. Now this technology may not produce the same results as having dedicated ceiling speakers, but it gives most people an alternative if they are not able to place these extra sound sources.As well as not having to fit ceiling speakers in your home, the main speakers can all be wall-mounted. This gives an ideal balance between keeping the speakers out of the way but without going to the expense and inconvenience of in-wall speaker systems. Besides these, the onboard EQ setup is there for the audio freaks. This is installed on the front side with other controls. From there you can set up the volume or other settings as you want. Onkyo TX-SR494 Impressive Features Super sound with DTS Virtual X

Onkyo brings Dolby Atmos to a trio of budget home cinema Onkyo brings Dolby Atmos to a trio of budget home cinema

If your budget is not that high but wants a great receiver then this Klipsch model is probably for you. For a 5.1 surround sound system this model absolutely perfect. So, set your mind if you are willing to go with it or not. But one thing for sure this receiver won’t make you disappoint you at all. FAQThe Onkyo SKSHT588 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos system for example is one and this is a great setup if you are looking at an entry level quality speaker setup that supports the new formats. Although it has only 2 up firing front speakers it really fills the area above the ear level and creates a far better hearing experience than the normal 5.1 setup. You can read my review on this speakers setup HERE. Object-based audio creates a virtual effect of sound around you without any height speaker. 4K HDR content If money is not a problem then by all means go for a 5.1.4 or even a 7.1.4 channels setup with dedicated ceiling speakers. But if your budget is tight and placing extra speakers in the ceiling is out of the question then the Onkyo setup or Atmos speakers that can be placed on top of your main speakers or with integrated up-firing drivers is the way to go. When Dolby Atmos and DTS:X first came out there were limited choices in terms of what you could find on the market but as time passes by we see more and more options which is only good for the consumer as with more options come better prices. And as time goes by we see this becoming more and more usual in soundbars also. Soundbars in general are for those that want an easy to use setup or for those that don’t have the necessary space to go for a full dedicated audio system. And we can see now that manufacturers are using up-firing drivers in their new models also showing that this technology is not smokes and mirrors but can really provide a genuine, even if not the same in quality, Dolby Atmos experience.
