Understanding surround sound configurations

Chapter Two introduces the foundational framework that underpins every Krix system.

‍
This framework provides the structural knowledge that ensures every system, regardless of scale or room type, performs exactly as intended.

This lesson introduces the architecture of contemporary surround sound layouts and how they translate into real-world environments.
Learners explore common formats such as 5.1, 7.1, and immersive audio configurations including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D, gaining clarity on channel roles, speaker placement, and the performance expectations required for each format.

By understanding the purpose of every channel, from the front stage to surrounds to height speakers, learners gain the foundation needed to design systems that are balanced, dynamic, and cinema-accurate.
