That said surround sound systems more commonly come in 5 and 7 channel setups.
Listening to vinyl on surround sound.
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.
Audio for a surround sound system has to be sent though a mixer so that it can create a sound field.
If the movie was created to be 5 1 well darn it listen to it in 5 1 it ll sound great.
I m not claiming 5 1 6 1 or 7 1 multichannel sound is bad.
Surround sound on the other hand is a system with 3 or more speakers.
A basic surround sound setup would be a center channel and a left and right.
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.
Now that vinyl records are making a resurgence many home audio electronics manufacturers are making all in one turntables to lure music fans.
That s why snare drums cymbal splashes and other loud instruments have so much more punch in vinyl recordings.
It may sound like common sense but buying a turntable is not that simple.
If they mixed the album in 2 channel listen to it in 2 channel.
There s very little compression so the loudest parts of those sounds often.
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.
