Surround sound on the other hand is a system with 3 or more speakers.
Listening to vinyl on surround sound.
In fact i think the quality of movie surround mixes has steadily improved over the years.
I m not claiming 5 1 6 1 or 7 1 multichannel sound is bad.
Vinyl can still push music to the limits of its dynamic range 55 70db but it often shies away from doing so in order to maintain sound quality.
That said surround sound systems more commonly come in 5 and 7 channel setups.
While these machines are an affordable solution for many they may not be able to be connected to a receiver or external speakers.
Probably the most interesting music listening in surround sound comes from recordings where at least some sounds are mixed hard to the left and right.
A basic surround sound setup would be a center channel and a left and right.
Audio for a surround sound system has to be sent though a mixer so that it can create a sound field.
There s very little compression so the loudest parts of those sounds often.
If they mixed the album in 2 channel listen to it in 2 channel.
Now that vinyl records are making a resurgence many home audio electronics manufacturers are making all in one turntables to lure music fans.
If the movie was created to be 5 1 well darn it listen to it in 5 1 it ll sound great.
I firmly believe you listen to the music or any other media for that matter the way the recording artist and audio engineer listened to it.
