bro made a video about surround and made it in mono

If something is mixed in surround sound and you don't have the system to reproduce it you'll never get the effects of the mix.

I'm sticking with 2 channel stereo until 18.8.4 comes available.... And 32k TV's.

How awesome is this kid! We need more people in the world like him. I feel smarter after watching his videos. A great education. Thank you

This gives so much more qualitative reasoning for why movie theatres provide such a better experience. Without thinking about it, it’s just publicly watching a movie on a big screen; but the sound of the theatre is unmatched in a consumers home.

You always give detail explanation with simple easy to understand even for layman novice to audio equipment.

Very informative video! I purchased a Yamaha 7.2 A/V receiver with Klipsch Synergy speakers. I have a 7.1 surround sound system. I purchased the system in 2012, but it still rocks and going strong! Never had any issues! Knock on wood! My main front speakers are Klipsch F3s and my sub is the SW-450 downfiring sub. My surrounds are the KLipsch S-2s and my center is the Klipsch C-2. My room size is 21 x 15 so I have been very pleased with the system! And I have a 55 inch TV. I love watching Blu-ray movies in 7.1. So I had to get some large area rugs.

This is wonderfully informative. Thank you so much for posting this and explaining it all in such a clear and concise way.

clear, straight , on point, very easy to understand. big thanks, Kyle!

The best video on surround sound. I used to be confused about speakers and sound systems. Flawless presentation ! Tq bro🙂

Thank you so much sir for your packaged information.

Excellent and Clear summary of the subject. thanks!

Never fail to learn something new from this channel. Thanks Kyle!

I've been away from audio for a while. Woah! That 2nd decimal blows my mind! Cool stuff.

Great video - everything I ever wanted to know but was afraid to ask - in 5 minutes!

You did an excellent job explaining this coming from an audiophile myself and I know this is mildly inappropriate but you are absolutely stunning to look at…

The centre channel can actually be reproduced with just the front left and right channels. Since both ears will hear the same thing, it will sound like it's coming from the centre. This can be helpful because you wouldn't need to have a separate speaker for speech and it might sound better because it's using larger speakers.

First sentence of this video is absolutely true and I was wondering exactly that today morning, after watching something about Dolby Atmos. Thank you for your explanations.

I fitted a 5.1 system on my living room and it caught out a lot of people with the sound effects especially from the back while we watching movies. I got so used to it that every time I’d be looking at the people instead of watching a movie. I’d like to experience a full 9.2.2. Must be worth all the money

This video was EXCELLENT! Thank you!

I have created my own speaker set, which includes 2 above head LR speakers 2 front LR speakers One base below head And two LR tweeters placed into my chair(near rear LR tweeters) And the magic they all produce was literally awesome 😍😍😍. My brother has a branded 5.1 home theatre but my custom made set beats them easily in terms of quality, base, and surround(3D effects). The only thing is my custom set has slightly less volume than the home theatre.

Thank you Bud, well explained !

I think you've missed out the Hall effect . Where two rear speakers are connected in series but out of phase (ie the two negatives - are connected together and the +vs are conected one to the left front and the other to the right front ) thus the rear play the sum of the diffrent of the front L&R but out of phase. This is a brilliant effect . Worth a try !

This helped me tremendously, I was so confused when looking for a new soundbar for my TV. But this explains so much. Thank you!

Excellent information that is easy to understand. Thanks!

Great explanations, thanks!

Best video on the topic!

Thank you so much. Honesty I should be watching a video from your channel every day of the week!

And to add, the beauty(though it comes with its own complications) of Dolby Atmos is you can render it to binaural and consumers using headphones, airpods etc can have the surround experience.

Thank you so much for this video. Your channel is literally my school of audio👍

This video was very great, thank you

short and informative! Thanks!

Just great. Thanks

so much knowledge, thank you

Just finished my 5.2.2 home theatre surround set up. I’m quite happy. Love seeing my Sony STR-DH790 displaying “ATMOS”. Now I’m just fine tuning and trying to watch as many movies and shows in ATMOS. I’m still running a 1080P ultra short throw projector to a 100” screen.

Awesome explanation!! I'm learning so much from your channel. 👍

What a great presentation man👌👍👏👏👏

You have the voice that sell !

thank you for sharing your knowledge of surround sound

I've found that rear speakers create inaudible dialogue on my system so I just add them to the L and R channels and move them up front. I run a 3.1.2 configuration and that works great for me.

Thanks for a very informative video and explanation. The problem is that most manufacturers assume that the listeners all have space behind them for rear surround speaker placement, where in reality, as with myself, most rooms are small/narrow and the surround speakers are then place next to the seating/viewing position. Are the speakers then turned towards the listener, or at an angle towards the center or TV? It may be a good idea to do a video on this situation.

another awesome video. thanks so much for making this channel happen!!!

Great stuff, thanks for this. I've got an odd scenario. I've got an older 5 channel ATI 1505 power amp that I don't need for surround anymore. I'd like to repurpose it as a dedicated 2 channel system. My questions is... can I utilize those other channels in a stereo setup? The amp is not designed with a bridging feature, but I was wondering if there is any kind of DIY hack that might be available. Thanks!

Thank you so much🙏💐👌

Yeah, well. In my day we just had left and right. That was it. Then they started adding to stereo receivers the subwoofer out and we essentially got 2.1

Great video. My production company is moving into Atmos.

I have a Nakamichi 9.2.4 and it’s insane. 🔥

Thank you so much Bro I had asked about this video Thanks u noticed & made a clear cut video 😇

Informative. On the point, NO gimmicks or goofs just shared knowledge!!

I don't usually comment unless it's really good. This one was on point and easy to understand.

I was subscribed to this channel and I didn't remember 😂 great video, thank you so much!

We watch movies rarely, so the surround hoopla is kinda not that important to us. But it’s nice to have for those moments where it’s needed. We have 7.1, because that was “common state of the art” when I set it up. Subwoofer is hidden as are rear surrounds, the other five speakers are not hidden but not in your face. It works well enough to provide correct sonic motion and dynamics for movies. Then for music I transition the whole thing to multi channel stereo, with a second similar system that feeds other rooms. Wherever you are in the house or garden, you get a decent stereo image with excellent audio quality.

Nice vid, do something like this about the differences in IMAX, THX etc. too please?

I got a setup for my PC of 2.1 (2 stereo boxes & 1 subwoofer), I hardly see the reason for more since I rarely see audio tracks which have more than 2 channels to begin with. The subwoofer does it's job brilliantly and the audio is awesome with only 2 stereo boxes. They're fairly low power too, 3W each and a 5W subwoofer (if I'm not mistaken) but it's alr as they are pretty much 50cm away from your head at most (the subwoofer included), had to mention this as subwoofers don't need to be in any special direction from you, anywhere is fine, but RANGE matters, I believe 1m away from you is the most this subwoofer is good for. EDIT: Btw, wanted to say. The closest theater from my home seems to use a 7.2 system, with 7 stereo boxes and probably 2 subwoofers or more (of course, they are SUPER powerful stereo boxes and subwoofers). That's the standard hall with only 2D screenings, the ultra hall is probably 9.2.2 but I didn't check it recently (this one has 3D screenings too).

cheers from England, its always good to see a young dude with a brain doing great things, its rare these days since tik tok and stuff lol

i have had a quadrophonic setup for a little bit, my desktop has support for up to 7.1 speakers.

My surround sound setup consists of a samsung soundbar/sub that I placed in the corner because it projects better. I also placed the tv there so you are looking towards the source of the audio. I know it's very complicated and absolutely groundbreaking for audio tech.

great job man !!

I've been to a cinema with I guess a 9.2.2 Dolby damn its a whole new experience!

Learnt something new as usual. Thanks Kyle

THIS WAS CRAZY TO KNOW GREAT CONTENT

Very helpful! Thank you very much! I have another question now about video. I've noticed on a lot of movies that there seems to be a filter that makes the entire film look like I'm watching it through a dirty glass. I noticed it in this video. At 3:50 the video is clear but just a few seconds later by 3:55 the video is zoomed in just a bit and now it's almost like I'm watching through a slightly dirty glass. It's very noticeable with your black shirt. Can you help me understand what's going on here? I noticed it really badly with the movie Pig staring Nick Cage if you need any other references. Thank you.

I am happy with a jbl center and a 10" yamaha sub!

Great video. So back in the day, when I first had an interest in home cinema. Prologic days lol. 5.1 meant- 3 fronts including a stereo pair and a centre. 2 rears that had to be behind you and obviously a sub- can be positioned anywhere. In a 5.1 as you describe it seems that the “rears” are now supposed to be placed at the side of you? Have I got that wrong?

great content

You should cover the migration from Mono to Stereo (1950s to 1970s). Stereo FM (sub channel usage) and LP addition. Film stock was last in mid-1970s (just in time for Star Wars). The 1970s experiment (failed) of Quadriphonic Sound. BUT some Bands tried (The Who).

great video I can share to noobies.. thank you!

I've been experimenting with " Dolby PLII music". And this with both a 5.1 and a 7.1. Unbelievable what happens with a stereo recording. And that mainly on the 7.1. Sound on all sides.

5.1.2 blew my mind

helpful as always! thANK YOU :)

Thank you.

Thank you. What is your opinion on wireless speakers? Would there be a sound loss due to no wires? Should we expect improved quality as the state of technology 'may' have improved such as bluetooth?

I want my voice like him man!! 🥲

Incredibly helpful video!

I need some assistance. I have cable box and a Roku, should both connect through the receiver first. But, when we want to just watch news or a TV show without going through all of our speakers how would we make this connection? We’d just like to use the TV’s speakers for news programs and regular TV shows. And is it possible to set up the receiver so that when we turn on the Roku box it “triggers” the receiver to come on automatically? Our receiver is a Marantz SR5010. Thx

Very good vdo i get something knowledge in this topic. guy I want making Dolby Atmos sound system how many audio cercuit i can collect please reply love from Imphal kangleipak (Manipur) India

bro what mic u use it sounds super clean, nice video btw! loved it.

Appreciate this video. 👍

Awesome

I like surrounding audio system

Any opinions on 4.1? Sony did a pretty good job of it with their HT-A9. Could that translate well when using an AVR?

Imagine if we had this kind of video back when r/hometheater was still alive and well. The amount of sticky posts this would've saved is astounding.

2:35 Hometheater enthusiasts will argue that having 2-sub is always better than one due to how the 2 subs even out the bass response across the listening area if placed right.

Wow, that cleared a lot of things up for me... I guess I have a better appreciation for Steven Wilson...

Just curious if I place the two channels of a 2.1 system at the centres of the two corners of my room making 45° angles where the speakers face the 90° corners & not towards the listener, can I get a 'faux' surround sound effect? Let's say, the channels are also tilted 20°-25° up towards the ceiling.

2:43 overhead surround has been around since late 1960's at now closed down odeon cinema bournemouth that is home to the pigeons now . i like pigeons . the overhead was used for 70mm cinerama in screen 1 that soon was to be phased out and replaced with 35mm and the five screen remained behind the larger curved screen so did the x6 overhead surrounds flush mounted in the high up ceiling . these where later used for 'star wars' when opened nationally in early feb '78 and i actually heard that star destroyer with "immersive storytelling" . the cinema used a Dolby Stereo CP50 speakers behind the screen sort of look like the Altec voice of the theatre , well the pigeons own them now . the overheads i guess unknown and thou still intact in the ceiling and last heard them around 1998 . year later 1999 JBL 8330 mkI was installed x16 of them . i worked as projectionist for UCI cinemas local at tower park 1989 when the new site opened late of 1989 and used "experimental overhead surround" in all ten screens . x8 overhead in larger screens 5 and 6 . smaller screens 1 to 4 and 7 to 10 had x7 overhead experimental surrounds . most on youtube and all those forum sites have no idea that overhead surround as been around since late 1960's and 1989 . i have more clocked overhead surround listening time than most would care for . Dolby Stereo CP55 was used with SRA5 and cinema PA speakers was EV . my atmos overheads goes way beyond even dolby labs own screening room never mind dubbing theatres or cinemas . the speakers height 1 2 3 are just basic stereo pairs stereo with phantom sound imaging that can be distracting if not , not so pinpoint so i used a x3 matrix decoders sort of same like LCR only on the ceiling with extra channels as well at least 12 output channels . the basic surround channel has been sort of not the same and not in fact hardly any home theatre can play the proper surround channel configuration as left-half right-half that is the surround arrays along each sidewall and clusters on the back wall . i recently wired my complex THX sound system and its not the home version its the professional cinema version . i have many surround formats that i can play where common AVR AVP can only play a few of them .

I have a question so I have foam padding. I was wondering if added it to my walls would it improve my listening experience by dampening the echo.

I've Clearly Taken some important Notes On the training About The Surround System Set-up And How It works THANKS So Very Much Soon I may Require A Certificate Or Diploma in Sound Engineering... I Hope The University will Consider Me

Thanks……………But more info about how to get around the Dolby ATMOS format on a computer ore an inverter will be nice

Do you have software recommendations to work with an own 3D audio system with the Behringer x32 and add self-programmed software for the possibility of a life mixing 3D sound?

for a 5.1 for the 2 rear channels is there much of a diff between if they're immediately to your left and right versus slightly behind the viewer?

Hey! I need some advice about engancing my listening experience. I recently bought a Motorola smartphone that has Dolby Atmos feature and a Atmos supported TWS. While listening to music, shall I turn on my phone's dolby atmos? It comes with 5 features - smart audio, music, film, game and podcast. The music has 2 sub features - auto sound leveller and surround virtualiser. Bottom line: my phone and TWS both supports Dolby Atmos and I use Amazon Music to stream music as it also supports Dolby Atmos. Will these 3 interfare with my listening experience? Shall I toggle atmos on my phone to ON while listening through non-atmos supported audio device only?

Nice video ...thnx Pls giv some tips about mastering plugging to final mix of any audio

There's also, DTS and Auro-3D out there. Slight differences but regardless they're surround formats.

seems like receivers equipped with analog in jacks handle SACD surround just fine.

Now I know what all those crazy numbers are for ...😎

If the input signal is only stereo, will the surround (rear) speakers on a 5.1 system be silent; or will they play the sound of the L & R channels also?

Brother can you please tell me which soundbar should I buy to get real Dolby Atmos feeling in ny home theatre room, and room length is 18 foot width 12 foot and 12 foot celling, should I need to go for 5.1.2 or something higher?

For editing 5.1, should the sub go direct to audio interface or to the L&R monitors?

I downloaded the pdf of speaker placements guide,, kindly change the color option denoting the subwoofer,, its very confusing, and please try to incorporate speaker placements for 13 channels and 15 channels from DENON
