In addition to
the front left, center channel, and front right speakers, a complete home theater speaker system
requires multiple surround sound effects speakers, plus at least one subwoofer to provide the low frequency bass effects. If you will be setting up
basic 5.1 channel surround sound audio inside a smaller room, you'll need to purchase two surround effects side
speakers. (Some of the surround sound effects speakers featured in the Amazon carousel above are packaged
and sold as pairs, some are sold individually.) A 7.1 channel surround sound speaker system will require four
effects speakers -- a pair of side surround speakers plus a pair of rear surrounds. Side surround speakers are typically flush mounted in the walls to the left and right sides of your home theater seating area, while rear surround speakers usually go in the back wall. |
7.2 means another sub. If you'll be using an older 6.1 channel
surround sound A/V
receiver or preamp and amplifier pair, you will need to get three effects speakers for sides and back. Some of the custom installation accessories and necessories are SOLD SEPARATELY.
THX certified in-wall surround sound effects are available from leading home
theater speaker manufacturers such as Atlantic Technology, Klipsch, Polk Audio, and Sonance.
Depending on your particular home theater room design or configuration, bipole and dipole type surround sound effects speakers with multiple tweeters and/or woofers installed to the sides/rear/back of your home theater seating area can create a more diffuse and enveloping soundfield for surround effects. |
