Diy Surround Sound project

Keep in mind with a surround sound system is that nothing will work without the speakers and they may only work for their intended purpose if they're positioned correctly. However, you want to be sure the other parts are established before starting to work with the speakers. I would recommend, especially if this is your first system that you go with a straightforward AV receiver, if you have already bought a tuner, amplifier, and all that other excellent stuff it's no problem, just a bit more concerned as far as processes go. The installation of each of these devices is sometimes as straightforward as finding a space for them and plugging everything into the correct slot. The good news is that most systems have the 'slots' well labeled for just this purpose. When you have the receiver hitched up you must begin placing speakers.

If you went with the basic 5.1 channel surround sound system you ought to have six speakers including the subwoofer. This is a good system to start with and ( if you bought your AV receiver sensibly ) will leave room for expansion and enlargement in the future. I am going to begin with instructions for the placement of the six speakers for a 5.1 channel system and expand those instructions to incorporate the others later. With a basic 5.1 channel surround sound system you'll have 5 speakers and one subwoofer. The position of the spokesperson is vital when it comes to putting the ambient sounds that are found in films in the right location re the action onscreen. 3 of the 5 speakers belong in the front. One spokesperson in the middle and one each on the front left and right-the 2 remaining speakers belong behind you to the right and left ( one left rear ; one right rear ). While this isn't a very difficult idea you'd be dazzled at the number of folks that have their surround sound systems incorrectly set up. With the 6.1 channel system you may move the rear right and left speakers to the side and place one spokesperson to the rear and in the middle. If you then upgrade from a 6.1 to a 7.1 channel surround sound system you'll move the spokesman that's in the rear to either the left of the right and install the extra speaker on the other side and to the rear. If you're going to make the investment in a home theater or surround sound system please make the effort to insure the pieces and parts are correctly found and installed to get your money's worth out of the method. Now it is time to relax and enjoy your new sound system.
