Now that vinyl records are making a resurgence many home audio electronics manufacturers are making all in one turntables to lure music fans.
Listening to vinyl on surround sound.
I firmly believe you listen to the music or any other media for that matter the way the recording artist and audio engineer listened to it.
While these machines are an affordable solution for many they may not be able to be connected to a receiver or external speakers.
That s why snare drums cymbal splashes and other loud instruments have so much more punch in vinyl recordings.
Vinyl can still push music to the limits of its dynamic range 55 70db but it often shies away from doing so in order to maintain sound quality.
If the movie was created to be 5 1 well darn it listen to it in 5 1 it ll sound great.
In a surround music mode sounds recorded to the far right or left front will be pulled more to the sides and rear creating a holographic soundstage in the shape of a horseshoe.
If they mixed the album in 2 channel listen to it in 2 channel.
I m not claiming 5 1 6 1 or 7 1 multichannel sound is bad.
In fact i think the quality of movie surround mixes has steadily improved over the years.
A basic surround sound setup would be a center channel and a left and right.
That said surround sound systems more commonly come in 5 and 7 channel setups.
There s very little compression so the loudest parts of those sounds often.
Surround sound on the other hand is a system with 3 or more speakers.
