AV receiver 5.1

Definition: AV receiver 5.1

AV receivers with the addition “5.1” serve a total of 5 audio channels. Thus, a left and right front speaker, a center speaker and a left and right surround sound speaker are present. Additionally, a subwoofer provides the home theater room with low tones. The correct arrangement of the speakers is of high importance, whereas the subwoofer gets a fairly free allocation of space. Nevertheless, a positioning in the front area is recommended. With an AV receiver 7.2 and 2 subwoofers, it requires a symmetrical alignment, even if the volume controls are set differently.

AV receiver 5.1 Dolby Atmos

The triumph of Dolby Atmos is unbroken. The realistic and authentic listening is based on the output of sounds that even hit the viewer from above. Thus, the abundance of audio sounds literally washes over the viewer of movies. Dolby Atmos works for various speaker placements in the room. Using Dolby Atmos, sound objects move through the individual speakers in the room.

AV receivers with the Dolby Atmos audio format must harmonize with the correct orientation of the speakers in the room. Pictorially, the audience represents the center of the circle. The speakers lie congruently on the imagined circle line and are thus directed towards the center. The front speakers are at the same distance from each other as the rear speakers.
The AV receiver 5.2 with Dolby Atmos distributes the output of the individual sound objects automatically.

Dolby Atmos creates an overhead layer. Speakers specially aligned for this purpose are mounted on the ceiling.
In their absence, the front speakers substitute for this role. The more speakers the system has with Dolby Atmos, the more impressive the format’s ability to use speakers individually to create an authentic sound image becomes.
