Learn About Virtual Surround Sound Systems
These days, home theaters are making an appearance into more and more homes. What most people love about home theaters is the fact that in one area they can enjoy their movies and television shows as well as jam to their tunes on their stereo. Most people who are seeking to buy home theater components look to purchase the biggest speakers they can find in order to reproduce the enveloping wall of sound that accompanies it. However, with the larger size comes the larger price and that tends to be the first limiting factor in the quest to purchase home theater components. However, virtual surround sound systems are here to the rescue!
One big consideration you will need to address is the size of the room which you are planning to place the home theater in. An extremely large television or speaker system will not allow much room for your guests to sit comfortably in a small room. For this reason, you will want to scale down your speakers if you are going to place the home theater system in a small 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.
Another technological advance is one of virtual surround sound. This technology simulates the sound characteristics of true surround sound systems. Virtual surround sound systems basically come in two flavors that are not too different from each other. These two are the 2.1 surround system and the digital sound projection 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.
The goal of the virtual surround system is to trick you into thinking the sound is coming from all sides when it really isn't. This is done by confusing the auditory organs into transmitting the signals to the brain via the auditory nerve and instructing the brain that there are more speakers behind you.
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. - 23806
