With the growing popularity of HDTV, watching a DVD movie is an excellent entertainment experience. The picture is vibrant, clear and sharp. But what about the sound? Well, that is one of the true attractions of visiting a movie theatre, the wraparound sound that allows you to hear every detail. So there is a way to bring that type of audio into our homes also, right? Absolutely, and that is sound installation.
Well, surround sound has been around for a while now in different forms, but it just never had a platform to bring it into the mainstream before digital media and HDTV like the DVD became so prevalent. But now by blending the ideal equipment with
solutions, a person can actually very closely stimulate the movie theater experience right at the convenience of their home whenever they want.
For surround sound, you will require three things. The first one is a digital source that has surround sound already encoded into it like a HDTV or DVD broadcast. Secondly, soundproofing equipment to decode that surround sound signal, and thirdly at least 6 speakers, including a subwoofer to derive full benefit of the most popular 5.1 surround sound format.
The two back speakers are frequently placed somewhere around the seating area and faced either to a rear wall or side. The middle speaker should be situated somewhere near to the TV, and the subwoofer can be put anywhere in the room that you like, as it puts out such low frequency bass that appears to come from everywhere.
Every room has different listening features through due to its furnishings and configuration; hence feel free to experiment across until you find the blend that works best for you. A surround sound might appear challenging, but it is just getting the ideal equipment, soundproof sheets and putting the speakers where they create the best overall sound.
