What is 5.1 and 7.1 Surround Sound
Surround Sound is a sound technology created by Dolby Labratories. When they create a movie today, they have a 5 microphones (or more). One is directly for the actors, their voices, and what they hear (that is the Center Channel). The other 4 are in the corners of the set. They pick up all the sound around the characters. Then they ad the Subwoofer for the low deep feeling type sounds. The correct equipment can reproduce this sound as it was recorded. The better quality the equipment, the better this effect is recreated. RTM 050509
