Multichannel sound

Multichannel sound refers to audio systems that use multiple audio channels to create a more immersive listening experience. Unlike traditional stereo sound, which has two channels (left and right), multichannel systems can have several channels, such as 5.1 or 7.1, where the numbers indicate how many speakers are used. These systems place speakers around the listener, enabling sounds to come from different directions, enhancing the realism of movies, music, and games. This setup helps create an environment where you can feel the audio as if you are part of the action, rather than just an observer.
