Big Sound for the Big Screen

The typical movie theatre today is capable of playing only 5.1 channels of audio. Dolby® Surround 7.1 adds two new discrete channels to establish four distinct surround zones in the theatre for a more vivid and engaging moviegoing experience. 

With Dolby Surround 7.1, filmmakers now have greater control over the exact placement of each detail in their soundtracks. The new orchestration possibilities that Dolby Surround 7.1 introduces allow mixers and sound designers to more accurately match their audio to the visuals onscreen. What this means for you is more depth, more realism, and more excitement.

In addition to improving the side-to-side panning of sounds and sound localization, Dolby Surround 7.1 enhances audio definition and widens the listening sweet spot. So individual sounds are clearer and more distinct, and the seating area in which this superb surround sound experience can be enjoyed is greater. In other words, the full power of Dolby Surround 7.1 is not limited to a handful of seats in the center of the theatre.
