What You Need To Know About Virtual Surround Sound Systems
Home theaters are showing up everywhere. Gone are the days where home theaters only showed up in palatial surburban entertainment rooms. They are now showing up in cozy apartments in places like Mid-town Manhattan. It is easy to see why they appeal to the masses. The combination of a system that will satisfy your viewing pleasures as well as your listening desires is hard to pass up if you have the money. Money though, is one thing that will limit you in your quest to purchase home stereo components. What helps though, is to go out and find a virutal surround sound system.
Besides the financial considerations, you will need to consider the home in which the speakers and the rest of the home theater will be placed. If you are placing the home theater into a small room, you may not want to go with an extremely loud system or large television. You may not even have room for the standard speaker setup for a home theater system. The standard setup is five speakers, but with a small space, you just might not have the room.
If your space is limited, all is not lost. Technology has advanced to the point where speakers are not only smaller but can be used wirelessly.
And yet another technology has emerged which is virtual surround sound. This technology, as its name implies, copies the sound quality of standard surround system. It can be found as either the digital sound projection system or labelled as a 2.1 surround sound system.
Typical surround sound systems accomplish their objective by literally surrounding the audience with speakers. Five speakers are arranged in a circle around the audience starting with a center speaker that is placed directly in front of the audience. When looking to buy surround sound speakers, the traditional speakers of this variety are labeled as 5.1 or 7.1. With virtual surround sound systems, the goal is obtained but without actually surroundign your guests. The 2.1 variety uses two speakers in front of the audience along with a subwoofer placed anywhere in the room. The digital sound projector system uses a bunch of small speakers placed in a line in front of your guests.
Trickery is the name of the game with virtual surround sound systems. These systems use a profound knowledge of how humans process sound in the ear and how that signal is transmitted to the brain. The speakers are constructed in such a way as to produce a sound that tricks the brain into thinking there are more speakers than there are and that these speakers are literally surrounding the audience.
With the invention of virtual surround sound, those people living in small apartments in major cities can also enjoy the same type of entertainment as those who live in single family homes in the suburbs. - 18780
