4.1.2

Surround

Hybrid Overhead

A 4.1.2 (Atmos-Enabled) system is comprised of four speakers positioned horizontally— two front Atmos-enabled speakers that handle both traditional and height effects, and rear left, rear right speakers—along with a subwoofer. The front speakers use upward-firing drivers to reflect sound off the ceiling, simulating audio from above.

This format delivers immersive height effects without the need for ceiling installation, making it a strong choice for rooms where overhead speakers aren’t an option but 3D audio is still 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.
