Tilting Swiveling Wall

A recent trend in home cinemas is the use of both "in wall" and even "in ceiling speakers" that offer the listener the benefit of an extra dimension in their audio listening experience, while storing the satellite speakers themselves out of sight and out of mind. The appeal of having speakers mounted in wall cavities is particularly appealing in modern apartments where a minimalist approach is applied. The fact is that without encroaching on space, some fantastic results are possible and are well within the means of the average home cinema owner.

Unlike a normal speaker that is mounted in a cabinet, the diver of an in-wall or in-ceiling speaker is mounted in a frame that is set into the wall directly. What often happens is that you receive additional bass from the wall itself that would be missing from a speaker of the same size. The only difference between an in-ceiling speaker and an in-wall speaker is that the in-wall speaker is positioned in the wall and the in-ceiling speaker, the ceiling above. For some reason in-ceiling speakers are generally round and in-wall speaker rectangular in size.

When installing wall speakers, the most fundamental factor is the rigidity and size of the speaker cavities. It is important to get the job done properly or the frequency response of the overall system may be adversely affected.

The speaker technology itself should be carefully considered too, although other than choosing a speaker set of a good size, mounted speaker sets are compared in exactly the same way as any other speakers. Factors to consider are: frequency response, power handling, efficiency and features.

Probably the most crucial factor when installing ceiling speakers is their positioning as this can directly affect the quality of the sound. While this may be true of just about any speaker system, it applies more so for a ceiling installation as it is difficult to change the position of the speakers once they've been set up. To provide for positional changes, many systems have adopted a pivotal bass unit and tweeter. While a conventional in ceiling system will only direct the sound in a downward direction, the ability to pivot speakers allows you to focus the sound to suit your position in the room.

Whichever actual speaker system you end up choosing, the advantages of a surround sound wall and ceiling speakers are clear, enabling you to enjoy top quality audio output within a minimalist design blending seamlessly with your decor. The most visible hint is a wall mounted grill that looks very discrete and is barely noticeable.

Plasma TV Owners: How did you brace your wall to hang the unit?

I recently got a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV (TH-50PX60U) with a Sanus Flat Panel TV Mount (VMSAs) that tilts, swivels, and pans. The instruction manual with the tv mount says the wall should be able to handle 5 times the weight of the plasma tv plus the weight of the actual mount. That is roughly 550 pounds. How in the world do I beef up my wall to safely handle that? We live in an old house with plaster walls and I would like to hang it above the fireplace. Can you give me any advice? Thank you!
Thanks for the comments so far. Just to clarify, we do not use the fireplace - the tv would look very nice in this location!

First things first, I seriously doubt that the mfg. of the TV will warrant the TV if you hang it over a fireplace. I know you see all those pretty pics of TVs over fireplaces but they cannot handle the heat, most have an automatic shut off when they reach a certain temp.

The const of the wall around your fireplace may not have wood studs, hopefully it does, you must locate those studs and the weight you are talking about you will need to hit three studs with a wall bracket and that bracket will need to be bolted to the studs with at least two 3" lag bolts on each stud.

The lath on the wall is probably wood lath over which the plaster was spread, I've seen situations where the homeowner opened the wall to expose the studs and then attached 3/4" plywood to the studs to this they could bolt the mounting bracket distributing the load over the studs. This plywood could then be finished out to match the wall.

Again- carefully consider the mfg. recommendations regarding fireplaces.
