5.1.4
Expanded Classic Surround
Hybrid Overhead
A 5.1.4 (Hybrid Atmos-Enabled) system features five main speakers—front left, front right, center, and two rear surrounds—along with a subwoofer and four height channels. In this configuration, the height effects are produced using a combination of in-ceiling speakers and Atmos-enabled front speakers, offering both direct overhead sound and reflected height cues.
This hybrid layout is designed for rooms where ceiling installation is partially possible or preferred in combination with Atmos-capable front speakers, making it ideal for users seeking to balance precision, performance, and installation flexibility.

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