Introduction
Cinema surround systems –
Type 1 or 2
If your primary interest is cinema, you can use a mono
subwoofer to enhance the bass performance for both cinema
and music presets.
This is the configuration recommended by Dolby for use with
Pro Logic, and is a good choice if your main left and right
loudspeakers have a poor bass response, or the room is large.
Five-channel surround system –
Type 5
Our recommended surround system for music and cinema uses
five loudspeakers, with the main left and right loudspeakers
providing the bass. This gives a very natural sound for music
listening, and a precise three-dimensional image combined with
good bass performance for cinema. An ideal configuration would
include a pair of Meridian M60 Active loudspeakers for the main
left and right loudspeakers and a Meridian M60C Active
Loudspeaker for the centre loudspeaker.
If you also have a mono subwoofer available you can choose to
use this for the Cinema presets, to enhance cinema effects
without affecting the quality of music from your system (Type 6).
