So What In The World Is The Difference Between 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 Surround Sound Speaker Systems?Perhaps you have been overwhelmed by the different types of surround sound packages out there.
What Do All Of Those Numbers Mean?Each number represents the total number of speakers in the surround sound system.For take an example: 5.1 Surround Sound5.1 surround sound is pretty much the industry standard for pre-wiring a family room or keeping room in your home. A 5.1 sound package would consist of:(1) Center Channel speaker that you hear the characters talking through. (This is often placed on topof , above or below your TV set or projector screen.) (2) Front channel speakers for left and right audio. (These are placed on either side of your television set or projector screen.) Imagine hearing all of the back ground music through these as well as the sound effects of a helicopter or ambulence heading your way. (2) Rear channel speakers for left and right audio. These are used for sound effects in the background. As regards the ".1" in a 5.1 system... This simply is for the LFE channel (Low frequency effects) . This is otherwise known as a subwoofer that gives you the bass for your sound effects. (This is best placed in a corner of the room perhaps under a table or behind a potted plant.) 6.1 Surround Sound System |

"Frank
you were very helpful
explaining the alternatives relative to a large screen TV and associated sound systems. As you know your company installed my TV and we are very happy with the results. At a later point when we have bookcases built in our den, we will consider an upgraded sound system. Thanks for your help."
