Hi I have had a shuffle round at home and want my Phantoms quite high up for practical reasons
Anyone have any advice on how to work out what angle to point them down / how high to lift the backs to mimic them being head height in a seated position?
And if so any clever / safe ideas to achieve it without the speakers being at risk of slipping / toppling off?
Look forward to the myriad of clever things about to be posted to help me out
Pic attached - seating position around 8ft away
Kind regards
Jamie
Hi
The best solution is to purchase a wall bracket called Gecko...
It will fit the need and will put the phantom in the angle...
Thx

Thanks - and do you think it would work just as a speaker support on a flat surface? (Rather than wall mounting?)
Hopefully some other clever (cheaper
) ideas will come along too

The geckos need to be wall mounted. How about something like this? Probably better / cheaper

A local machine shop made two brackets for me. Looks really bad, works like a charm.

Yeah saw those - think they are designed for a flat bottomed speaker

That looks great - you wouldn't see it with the speaker on top and would be sure it wouldnt slip of no matter how steep the angle!
Will use that photo to show someone thanks

Here are the measurements of the ones I made :
I wanted to buy a pair of gecko but i did not because if you can fine tune the left / right angle, I noticed it is impossible to do it for up / down angle.
The second issue is that the position of the phantom is actually critical ; once you have made the holes in the wall, just imagine what the CFO will say if you begin to explain you need to change...
I still have no solution for now and plan to machine a bracket of my own to get left/right and up/down adjustment.
