| Virtual surround sound
The idea behind the virtual surround systems showcased on this website is that
there's now digital surround sound audio technology available that lets you experience room-filling, ambient
surround effects WITHOUT the need for wiring and installing 6 or more separate home theater speakers
throughout your viewing room! By combining
multiple digital surround sound audio channels into fewer
speaker cabinets, and/or directing and reflecting delayed digital rear surround
effects off of the side and back walls your home theater room, a virtual
surround sound system lets you experience much of the same audio excitement as
typical 5.1 and 6.1
wireless home theater
systems WITHOUT filling your entire room with surround sound speakers!
