Side firing speakers problem

[Petrolsmasher]

Recently got a soundbar which has side firing speakers built in.

Bit of a nightmare given there is a wall next to one side about a metre away but not the other side, so it sounds louder and wider in one corner when the sound reflects off the wall.

Any ideas on how to direct the sound better, theres nowhere else i can put the tv and soundbar.

At the moment i have 2 candle holders either side next to each speaker trying to reflect the sound more forward but its not working too well really.

Can you not adjust the levels/delays?

Or you might need to change to one that's just front firing.

I can turn them down yes but still hear them, soundbar overall is a hell of a lot better than the rest i heard so dont want to take it back.

But it’s totally unsuitable in your room. Live with it or move it on, unless you can position a large object on the other side to the close wall?

Which sound bar is it?

Our’s is in a corner, but more angled towards, and closer to, a longer wall. Just got a Sonos Beam and l’m pleased with it, although I’m by no means an audiophile.

I haven’t noticed it being louder on one side - it does a tuning thing where it’s supposed to adapt to the room, so perhaps it sorts itself out.
