SURROUND

SYSTEM

What

is

surround

sound?

With

ordinary.

stereo,

sound

normally

comes

only

from

speakers

in

front

of

the

listener.

In

a

concert

hall

or

theater

though,

sound

reflected

from

the

walls

and

ceiling

reaches

the

listener

from

all

directions.

This

is

what

accounts

for

the

feel-

ing

of

ambience

or

spaciousness

of

a

live

performance.

Sur-

round

sound

works

to

reproduce

these

effects

to

provide

fuller,

more

“live”

sound.

Speaker

System

Placement

Examples

The

sound

effects

obtained

in

a

surround

system

depend

on

speaker

placement.

Experiment

with

various

arrangements

to

find

the

one

most

suited

to

your

tastes.

Placing

the

speakers

so

that

they

are

slightly

higher

than

ear-

level

contributes

to

sound

quality.
