jat is surround sound?
Normally with ordinary stereo, sound comes only from speak-
ers in front of the listener; however, in a concert hall or theater,
sound reflected from the walls and ceiling reaches the listener
from all directions. This accounts for the feeling of ambience

Surround
sound works to reproduce these effects to produce
fuller, more "live" sound.

sound quality.
