Sonos Arc Atmos with cathedral ceilings?

Hey all,

My bedroom has cathedral ceiling, approximately 15’ tall at the peak. Currently, I have a playbar located at one wall, placed dead center under the peak, so that the wall descends equally down on either side of the bar.
Does anyone have any input if this setup will work with Atmos? If I replace the bar for an Arc. My concern is the obvious, I’ve read that you need a short level ceiling for Dolby Atmos to create a surround effect.

will true play work with Atmos to perfect the surround effect in the room? Should I just stick with the playbar?

will atmos work with cathedral ceilings 15’ high?

i also have a sub in the room.

thanks

This is the beauty of the LG GX thin / no gap mount capability

definitely no tilt! Which is one reason why I’m trying to keep it at reasonable eye level. Samsung has similar capability on some models, including their Frame TV. It will become much more prevalent with OLED as we go forward. Heat, however, doesn’t change generation to generation!

The fireplace manufacturer that I am looking at does state a flat panel can be mounted 18” above if a 3.3” mantel minimum is provided (.8”+2.5” per diagram) but the ‘mantel’ is where the Sonos would go, so I want to protect it also.

it may all be impossible to get perfect and I’ll have to trade off height for safety for good sound...but I’d really like to save that 4” if possible and still have good sound. Looking for an Atmos expert to chime in here if possible...but maybe that YouTube video will give me a better foundation to decide from...I haven’t had a chance to watch it today, yet.
