7.1 Channel System

Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and vocals.

Surround speakers create back sound field. Powered subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound field.

This basic 5.1 Channel System with surround back speakers added is called a 7.1 Channel System. The connection of surround back speakers improves the sense of envelopment and connectivity of sound created by the back sound field and provides a more real sound field.

Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound, when the input format is Dolby

Atmos.

The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height. Center speaker should be set up facing the listening position. Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music. The optimal positioning is for surround back speakers to be at ear height.

0 If you are including surround back speakers in the setup, surround speakers are required.
