5.1
Posted on December 19, 2012 by KVMG-CMS | 0 comments
A type of surround sound with 5 distinct sound channels and a LFE (low-frequency effects) channel: Center, Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, and Rear Right. The .1 refers to the LFE channel, which is so named because it only reproduces the lower 1/10 of the sound frequency (the deep bass tones) of the other channels. Each channel requires a separate speaker. Dolby and DTS both offer 5.1 Surround technologies.
