5.1 ( 6-channel sound )

edit

I'm thinking about making this an article; any thoughts; yes. no? I dislike the surround sound article. Daniel Christensen (talk) 00:37, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

5.15.1 surround sound

See discussion at Talk:8 channel audio#Requested move.

5.1 and 7.1 are both esoteric titles that mean little to those unfamiliar with the subject, and large numbers of English speakers would be in this category. The longer, more descriptive titles are also in common use, unambiguous, and should be preferred. Andrewa (talk) 17:54, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Correction: 7.1 surround sound does exist, so a proper move for 8 channel audio would require admin intervention. SnottyWong talk 22:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Although I haven't nominated them a this stage, if this move goes ahead I'll of course be proposing similar moves for 10.2 and 22.2. Andrewa (talk) 18:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Apparent inconsistency

edit

The main Surround sound article says, in its History section:

5.1 surround sound originated in 1987 at the famous French Cabaret Moulin Rouge.

This is inconsistent with this article's claim that it dates back to 1976. Citations needed to resolve I guess.

low freq

edit

the article says the ".1" is "low frequency" but it would nice to know how low, e.g. related to the other 5 channels. 212.29.231.179 (talk) 09:17, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Dolby Digital standard says 120 Hz. http://atsc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/A52-201212-17.pdf --Kjoonlee 04:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

SACD?

edit

Glorious surround sound is one of the primary attributes of SACDs, yet they don't seem to be mentioned anywhere on this page.

Thousands are available globally, and the site sa-cd.net consistently tracks and reivews what becomes available, month after month. Thanks for listening -- ResearcherQ (talk) 14:48, 20 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Subwoofer position?

edit

The article contains 2 diagrams that show the positions of the 5 full-bandwidth speakers but no clear mention of the location of the low-frequency/".1"/subwoofer. I believe it's position is considered less important/precise than the others, but someone who knows more should probably add some information about it.

Encoded in two channels?

edit

I have a Harmon/Kardon AVI 200II amplifier that has outputs for 5.1 but its inputs are all stereo. Is it possible to record the information for 5.1 in just two channels? If so, would someone please include that information in the article. If not, please explain how the 5.1 information is transmitted from a DVD or Blu-ray player to an amplifier.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on 5.1 surround sound. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

5.1-EX

The meaning of 5.1-EX should be explained. --Mlang.Finn (talk) 16:26, 4 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

THX is a system?

edit

THX is not a system or a format, it's a certification/quality assurance system for existing systems (such Dolby Digital and DTS). 92.11.193.175 (talk) 15:01, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
