thus, so does the sound. But a new generation of soundbars, the all-in-one devices that sit below your TV and house multiple drivers in a horizontal layout, also claim to have surround sound capabilities. How can that be possible if the only speaker is directly in front of you?<\/p>\n<p>The simplest answer: most of them don\u2019t. The \u201csurround\u201d feature of a lot of soundbars, especially cheaper models, is just a more exaggerated stereo effect from two or more speaker drivers. But some of the more expensive models, especially the newest ones with Dolby Atmos capability, can simulate a surround sound setup with surprising effectiveness. This isn\u2019t \u201creal\u201d surround sound either\u2014you cannot change the laws of physics\u2014but it creates a convincing illusion by bouncing sound waves off the walls of the room.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cheaper_Soundbars_Are_Better_Than_TV_Speakers_But_Cant_Do_True_Surround\"><\/span>Cheaper Soundbars Are Better Than TV Speakers, But Can\u2019t Do True Surround<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A typical speaker bar or speaker base, up to about $200, is simply a better set of stereo speakers than the one that\u2019s in your television. Though these inexpensive sets can\u2019t even \u201cfake\u201d surround sound, they\u2019re nothing to sneeze at: most will have at least 100 watts or so of power and much clearer, richer sound than the small, back- or down-firing speakers embedded in today\u2019s thin LCD televisions.\u00a0Some of these sets also include a subwoofer for 2.1 stereo, but even so, the individual drivers are still restricted to, at most, two clusters of sound for standard stereo playback.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-336125 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/img_5a30c3c5cc932.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A low-end 2.1 speaker bar.

And that profile might create some extra \u201cspace\u201d between the left and right channels of sound, thanks to subtle manipulations of frequency and timing\u2014simulated surround sound headsets do something similar. But you\u2019re still fundamentally listening to only two sound channels, both of them more or less in front of you. For example, a 2.1 channel soundar\u00a0has a subwoofer and six woofer\/tweeter drivers, but still only supports two channels of sound.<\/p>\n<p>But what about mid-range soundbars with five different speaker drivers, or even seven? In those cases, each driver is able to play an individual channel from a 5.1 or 7.1 soundtrack, and your ears should be able to pick out all of the sound from each. For example, a 5.1 or 7.1 channel soundbar\u00a0has five distinct speakers in the bar, corresponding to the center channel, front left, front right, surround left, and surround right. So you will hear the front, side, and rear channels as individual and distinct sources of sound\u2026but it\u2019s still all coming from in front of you. It\u2019s better than nothing, but still quite a bit removed from a true surround sound setup with speakers correctly placed all around the listener. And frankly, it\u2019s hard to even call it \u201csurround\u201d\u2026it\u2019s just multi-channel audio.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Faux_Surround_Bars_Use_the_Room_to_Simulate_Multi-Directional_Sound\"><\/span>Faux Surround Bars Use the Room to Simulate Multi-Directional Sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re willing to go a bit higher in price, things get interesting. With the advent of advanced surround sound software tools like Dolby Atmos and some clever engineering, the most complex soundbars can create a convincing surround sound simulation in a single contained device (usually with an added subwoofer for the deepest of bass tones). This is achieved by angling the drivers in specific directions to \u201cbounce\u201d the sound waves off of the walls of the room and back towards the listener from different directions.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-336123 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/img_5a30c212b4d3e.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An all-in-one 7.1 soundbar that uses Dolby Atmos to simulate surround sound.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Check out the video below for a visual example of this surround sound effect, achieving a simulated 5.1-channel setup.

Trying to achieve the same sound-bouncing effect with a regular set of 5.1-channel speakers wouldn\u2019t work. It\u2019s Dolby\u2019s Atmos audio processing, which makes subtle adjustments to volume, timing, and frequency on the fly, that allows the sound to fool your brain into thinking it\u2019s coming from multiple directions at once.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, depending on the layout and geometry of your living room to provide sources of reflected sound is less than ideal. The best effect will be experienced by those with a television and seating arrangement perfectly centered in the room, with walls symmetrical walls on either side, ceilings that aren\u2019t especially high or vaulted, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly have a rear wall about the same distance from the listener as the TV. That\u2019s a lot of variables to work with\u2014for example, if you have an open kitchen to the left of your living room, the surround channels bounced to the left will be softer and less distinct than the right.<\/p>\n<p>However, this impressive technology is predictably expensive. You might pay $1000 or more for it, depending on the soundbar you choose.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Only_True_Surround_Sound_Comes_with_Separate_Speakers\"><\/span>The Only True Surround Sound Comes with Separate Speakers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-336124 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/img_5a30c2bb2f58c.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 5.1 speaker set with a front speaker bar. True surround sound, but not all-in-one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is one other type of surround soundbar in between those two price ranges: a four-piece, true surround setup. Some soundbars come with a subwoofer and two smaller rear channel speakers that can deliver actual surround sound, typically in a 5.1 arrangement (with the center, left, and right channels all coming from the main bar in front). This is true surround sound, but it\u2019s not anything particularly noteworthy: it\u2019s basically just consolidating three speakers into a single piece for a better aesthetic effect. It doesn\u2019t really fit into the same category as the above options, and isn\u2019t what most people are looking for when they think \u201csoundbar.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Get_a_Surround_Soundbar\"><\/span>Should You Get a Surround Soundbar?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So are these worth getting? It depends. The plain fact of the matter is that multi-speaker surround setups are now much cheaper than the super-premium soundbars that can create a surround sound effect.<\/p>\n<p>Surround setups are complicated, though, and aren\u2019t always as aesthetically pleasing. So if there\u2019s no practical way for you to run wiring for surround sound speakers all the way around a room, or if your home\u2019s decor is so important that you just can\u2019t stand to see those extra speakers, then a surround soundbar might be the best option. Assuming you can afford it, of course\u2014this is a literal case of form (and price tag) over function.<\/p>\n<div style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 4px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.2); padding: 1em; padding-bottom: 0; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Home_Theater_Systems_of_2022\"><\/span>The Best Home Theater Systems of 2022 <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,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\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"\/><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"moka-buying-guides-product-wrap\">\n<div>\n<small style=\"color: #555;\"\/><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;
