Double Gang Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 / 5.2.2 Speaker Plate

Description

How to Choose the Right Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 Speaker Plate for Your Project

Configuring your home for 3D Dolby Atmos requires a specialised plate to distinguish traditional surround speakers from height modules.

1. True Dolby Atmos 3D Audio

• The Benefit: Translates standard flat 5-channel sound fields into three-dimensional audio environments by managing 2 discrete overhead height speakers.

• Key Feature: Features 14 gold-plated terminal posts and dual RCA subwoofer sockets to natively support 5.1.2 and 5.2.2 configurations.

This plate is also available in a Dolby 7.1 configuration. Do you have a larger home cinema room, or are you looking for a more immersive setup? Explore our Dolby Atmos plates.

2. Cohesive Room Styling

• The Benefit: Maintains an elegant, flush aesthetic across your entire AV cabinet wall by matching existing room fixtures.

• Key Feature: Available in nine distinct plate finishes—including White and Black plastic (regular or frosted) and metal choices like Brushed Chrome, Polished Chrome, Brushed Brass, and Gun Metal Black with insulated nylon bushes.

• Speaker Post Caps: These decorative caps come in black or white, with easy identification bands for + and – channels. These caps fit over our gold-plated speaker post thumb screws while still allowing the binding posts to operate and banana plugs to fit. Available for the front only or for the front and back. To add these to your order, please see options above. When you order speaker caps, we also provide screws that match your plate to keep everything looking as discreet as possible.

3. Universal Design

• The Benefit: Makes it incredibly easy to add connection plates behind your satellite speakers. Or expand your audio system later with more speakers and matching plates.

• Key Feature: Our single-gang, single-speaker plates match the material of our main plates for a seamless look. Featuring solder-free connection points on both the front and back of the plate for a painless plug-and-play setup.

Key Technical Factors to Consider Before Buying

• Dual Subwoofers & 90-Degree Adaptors: Features two line-level RCA subwoofer ports and two gold-plated 90-degree right-angle RCA couplers to reduce cable stress in shallow wall cavities.

• Deep Back Box Recommended: Because this double-gang plate houses 14 speaker terminals and two subwoofer couplers, we recommend a 47mm deep double-gang back box for optimal cable management.

• Etched or Printed Locations: To ensure error-free first-fix connections, each terminal is permanently engraved with designated speaker positions (FL, FR, C, SL, SR, AL, AR, SUB 1, and SUB 2).

Professional Tip

Please use deeper back boxes; 42mm or 47mm will do the job (dryline or flush masonry). This gives you extra room when routing the cable at the back of the plate, without risk of damage or pinching.
