of physical locations. The latest acoustical and electrical techniques and components have

for tracking, mixing, and mastering. They can be used in stereo or multichannel systems,
with or without subwoofers.

In multichannel systems, one should ideally use the same product for all main channels.
However, as the rear channels often contain less bass and the signals are mixed at a lower
level than the front channels, the rear loudspeakers can be smaller - see table below for
details. The center loudspeaker should always be of the same type as the left and right
loudspeaker. The subwoofer should be sufficient to keep up with the main loudspeakers -
see subwoofer operating manual for details.
