Home Entertainment Surround Sound Wireless Systems
Surround sound wireless speakers are getting to be a popular option for use with home entertainment systems. To be able to obtain authentic surround sound you will need a so-called 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system. The '.1' in each of those systems refers to a subwoofer, the speaker engineered to output low sounds; the other number refers to the quantity of satellite speakers. In a 5.1 setup, you have center, front left and right, and rear left and right satellites. 7.1 surround sound systems are exactly the same, except for the inclusion of left side and right side speakers.
As to whether the extra expense of a 7.1 surround sound setup is justified, it's a matter of personal preference. Numerous individuals may explain that the difference is limited, so that if you happen to be on a budget, you're better off investing your funds buying a better quality 5.1 setup, than you would be a lower quality 7.1 one. Others feel that a 7.1 setup can only be justified if you have a particularly big room and that a properly setup, good quality 5.1 system will be fine for all but the largest rooms. Having said that, if you have the funds available and a substantial room, then a 7.1 setup could provide a truly immersive acoustic experience.
Genuine surround sound wireless audio systems can be really hard to find, however there are many systems that can be purchased which provide
wireless rear speakers. Obviously, this is the most useful option - often you will already have plenty of wires between your Tv, satellite receiver, DVD player, etc., so some more leads going to the the front left/right and center speakersreally don't make a big difference. Yet, removing the wires going to the rear of your room can be a big
advantage.
So that you can make the most of your surround sound speakers, you should think about investing in high quality surround sound speaker stands. The speaker stands you decide on may have a big effect on the listening experience. Also, they can look nice, and quite a few have built in cable management systems to help keep any wires hidden. They ought to also let you position your speakers at the perfect listening height.
