5.1.2
Classic Surround
Overhead
A 5.1.2 (Overhead/Non-Atmos) system is comprised of three front speakers (left, center, right), two side or rear surround speakers, a subwoofer, and two ceiling-mounted height speakers placed above the listening area. These overhead speakers deliver dedicated vertical sound, creating a more immersive audio field by introducing effects that come from directly above the listener.
This configuration is ideal for dedicated theater rooms or spaces where in-ceiling speakers are feasible, offering a cinematic 3D sound experience with precise spatial realism.

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