5.1 surround sound

5.1 surround sound is an audio system that creates an immersive listening experience using six channels: five speakers and one subwoofer. The "5" represents five speakers positioned around the listener—two in the front, two on the sides or rear, and one center speaker, which enhances dialogue and clarity. The ".1" refers to the subwoofer, which handles low-frequency sounds like bass and special effects. This setup allows sound to come from different directions, making movies, music, and games more engaging and realistic, as it mimics how we naturally hear sound in the environment.
