A surround sound does not require a subwoofer but it can make your audio experience so much better. So, even if you do not need one for the surround sound in your home theater, you should consider adding a subwoofer.
Do you really need a subwoofer?
All in all, a subwoofer is an essential part of your system. If you're on a budget or in the infancy of your home-theater development, start with just one subwoofer. As your system grows, think about adding a second low-toned beast to your setup. You're adding more bass and evenly distributing it throughout the room.
Do surround speakers produce bass?
Unless you are listening to true multichannel music, like SACD or DVD-A, you just will not get much bass out of the surround channels, regardless of what you do. As mentioned, if you want more bass, then add additional powered subwoofers in various positions around the room.
What is the difference between subwoofer and surround speakers?
The two refers to the main pair of stereo (left and right) speakers, while the '. 1' refers to the limited-bandwidth subwoofer. In the same way, a surround sound system is often denoted as 5.1, meaning five main channels plus a subwoofer to handle the low frequency effects channel (LFE).
Can any speaker be used for surround sound?
One of the questions that may come to mind is whether you can use any speakers for surround sound. Fortunately, any speaker can be used for surround sound with the proper connection to a receiver with matching impedance ratings (ohms) and appropriate placement in your home theater space.
Do I need a subwoofer in a small room?
Arguably a sub is more important in a small room since modes are likely to be closer-spaced and deeper than in a larger room with more "stuff". If you can place a subwoofer properly/optimally in the room you should have much flatter bass response.
Can any speaker be used as a subwoofer?
A normal speaker is not capable of producing low-frequency sound emission and hence, cannot be used as a subwoofer. Given the subwoofer's unique purpose, a normal speaker cannot replace it. You can use a woofer to achieve low bass tones, but even this does not compare to a sub.
Can I use front speakers as surround?
Absolutely, yes! The 7.1 surround system works with your center front and rear speakers to create a complete sound imaging system. The more speakers, the better the sound. Keep in mind that from experience, having two rear speakers is the minimum requirement for a surround speaker system.
Is surround sound good for music?
Music is recorded in mono and mastered in stereo. That is why you should listen to music in stereo to achieve the best quality sound. While you can attempt to stream music in surround sound, this will often just make the audio louder without improving clarity, and often results in sound distortion.
