SURROUND SYSTEM

[2 |

What is surround sound?

Normally with ordinary stereo, sound comes only from speakers in

front of the listener; however, in a concert hall or theater, sound re-

flected from the walls and ceiling reaches the listener from all direc-

tions. This is what accounts for the feeling of ambience or spacious-

ness 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 connected, the stereo wide

function may be activated, This function enhances the stereo effect.

Note however, that it does not operate in the case of a monaural

source.

Speaker System Placement Examples (Fig. [8])

The sound effects obtained in a surround 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.

tening to music recordings.
