Consider Virtual Surround Sound Systems For Smaller Rooms
It seems like everyone is looking to create a home theater setup nowadays. The marriage of the visual components (TV and DVD), as well as the audio components (stereo), attracts many people to the entertainment possibilities of a home theater. As with most things in the United States, bigger is better for many people so they naturally gravitate to larger televisions and louder stereos. But, all too often the financial issues creep up and they then must consider their limitations on what they can afford. For this reason alone, virutal surround sound systems are a boon.
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.
You can still get a quality system even if your available space is small. With the advance of technology, speakers have gotten smaller and also with the advent of wireless technology, the days of running cables and speaker wire are over.
Still another technology that has made its way to the marketplace is virtual surround sound which mimics the sound you can get from traditional surround sound systems. Virtual surround sound can be found in either the 2.1 surround system or digital sound projection system varieties.
Traditional surround sound systems are typically displayed using 5 speakers. These speakers start with a center speaker which is placed directly in front of the audience. The other 4 speakers are then arranged in a circle that literally surrounds the audience. These traditional surround speakersd are usually denoted as 5.1 and 7.1 sound systems. With virtual surround sound, at least 2 of the speakers are replaced. Digital sound projectors utilize small speakers that are placed in a line in front of the audience. The 2.1 system places only 2 speakers in front of the audience with a third, the subwoofer, placed elsewhere in the room.
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.
Virtual surround sound systems are a boon to those people who live in large metropolitan cities worldwide. With the smaller apartments that are offered to live, up until now you couldn't enjoy surround sound. Now that virtual surround systems are here, the surburbanites aren't the only ones who can enjoy it. - 23812
