Dolby Atmos speaker layouts parallel the 5.1 and 7.1 setups for surround sound. A 5.1.2 or 7.1.2 system uses two ceiling speakers, or two Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers or modules. A 5.1.4 or 7.1.4 system uses four ceiling speakers, or four Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers or modules. A 9.1.2 system adds a pair of front wide speakers to a 7.1.2 layout. Achieving proper Dolby Atmos requires a bit of diligence and technical know-how on your part, but it’s totally worth it. The result is a clearer, richer sound that surpasses 5.1.2 or 7.1.2 surround.

- Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 Ceiling Speaker Placement
- Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 Speaker Placement
A 5.1.2 system uses 2 ceiling speakers in additional to a basic 5.1 system. For the requirement of 5.1.2 ceiling speakers, they are not easy to fit for apartment but better for house.
For the 5.1.2 system, it consists of:
NOTES: for items 2-4, they are totally 5 normal speakers as 5 with the subwoofer as the “.1” and final “.2” refers to 2 additional speakers in-ceiling.
Let’s take a look on the floor-plan of the 5.1.2 theater.
The installation suggestion is based on the information available from the Dolby Lab. With our experience, it should be fine-tuned for every listening room. The key is the positioning as the angle of the speaker position and the physical height of the speakers.
To take an example, a room with wooden wall should be sounded very well. Further adjustment will be necessary for a brick wall. In order to build the best-fit system, you need to set your height and position of each speaker with the help of the AV system. Then, you have to compare the effects when sitting down at your seat by playing the same track until the most comfortable one.
