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

feeling

of

ambience

or

spaciousness

of

a

live

performance.

Surround

sound

works

to

reproduce

these

effects

to

produce

fuller,

more

“‘live’’

sound.

STEREO

WIDE

When

the

surround

speakers

are

not

the.

may

be

This

function

enhances

the

effect.

Note

that

it

source,

however.

Speaker

System

Placement

Examples

(Page

[8])

The

sound

effects

obtained

in

a

system

depend

on

speaker

placement.

Experiment

with

various

arrangements

to

find

the

one

most

suited

to

your

tastes.

Placing

the

speakers

slightly

higher

than

ear

level

contributes

to

sound

quality.

[Case

recommended

for

[Case

Good

for

:
