Audio for a surround sound system has to be sent though a mixer so that it can create a sound field.
Listening to vinyl on surround sound.
While these machines are an affordable solution for many they may not be able to be connected to a receiver or external speakers.
In fact i think the quality of movie surround mixes has steadily improved over the years.
If they mixed the album in 2 channel listen to it in 2 channel.
It may sound like common sense but buying a turntable is not that simple.
There s very little compression so the loudest parts of those sounds often.
Now that vinyl records are making a resurgence many home audio electronics manufacturers are making all in one turntables to lure music fans.
That said surround sound systems more commonly come in 5 and 7 channel setups.
Vinyl can still push music to the limits of its dynamic range 55 70db but it often shies away from doing so in order to maintain sound quality.
I m not claiming 5 1 6 1 or 7 1 multichannel sound is bad.
That s why snare drums cymbal splashes and other loud instruments have so much more punch in vinyl recordings.
If the movie was created to be 5 1 well darn it listen to it in 5 1 it ll sound great.
Surround sound on the other hand is a system with 3 or more speakers.
A basic surround sound setup would be a center channel and a left and right.
