4.1.2

Surrond

Overhead

A 4.1.2 (Overhead/Non-Atmos) system is comprised of four horizontal speakers—front left, front right, rear left, and rear right—along with a subwoofer and two additional ceiling-mounted height speakers. These overhead channels allow sound to travel from above the listener, creating an immersive vertical dimension in the audio.

This configuration is ideal for dedicated media spaces or home theaters where in-ceiling speaker installation is feasible and a more precise vertical sound placement is desired.

Speaker Definitions

Front | Placed to the left and right of your screen or TV. They handle most of the music, sound effects, and action.

Center | Placed in line with your screen or TV, typically directly below. It is dedicated to voices and dialogue.

Surround | Placed to the sides or behind you. They create the immersive feeling of sound moving around the room.

Rear Surround | Placed directly behind you.  Typically used in larger or more advanced setups for deeper surround effects.

Overhead (Height) | Placed in or near the ceiling. They add a sense o fheight to the sound--like a plane overhead.

Subwoofer | Large, floor or in-wall mounted speaker that produces deep bass, like explosions or rumbling. They are felt as much as heard.

Atmos | Specially designed to project sound both forward and upward. Bouncing sound off the ceiling to allow sound to move in all directions around you.
