Beam 2 Height Channels

Just bought a beam 2, I’m curious as to what others have found works best in terms of the height channel settings for Dolby Atmos? I know it will be subjective based on individual space (ceiling height etc) but keen to hear what others more experienced than me have found is a good place to start, also does the height setting matter if playing non dolby atmos content? I can't say I’ve heard a difference?

The Height Audio setting only applies to Dolby Atmos content:  Change height audio settings

I left mine set at 0 and use the Trueplay settings too.

Recently (a few hours before) I have made the Trueplay calibración and the height sound now sounded almost real, before it it sounded almost every time but without listening from very above. Thats my experience but it varies much from one to another room :)

Flat 8 foot ceiling Zero. 12 foot or angled, plus 2, try more too.

You need a good Atmos movie with height content, maybe helicopters?
