A virtual surround sound system attempts to create much of the excitement of a "conventional"
5.1 or 7.1 surround sound speaker system without the need for purchasing and wiring for six
or eight separate speakers.
2.1 speakers refers to a sound system with a matched pair of stereo speakers that are
typically placed or wall-mounted to the left and right sides of, or directly below, your television screen, plus a (powered)
subwoofer for producing the deep bass, and some form of virtual surround digital audio processing technology. A 2.1 speaker system lacks the center channel speaker and rear surround
speakers of a 5.1 system.
1.1 speakers, then, is a single long/thin "sound bar" speaker that is designed to virtually disappear
from view when placed or wall-mounted directly below or above your television screen, plus a subwoofer for bass. A 1.1 system
eliminates the left and right front and rear speakers all together! |
