Making Your Audio and Video Connections

"Surround sound is a technique for enriching the sound reproduction quality of an audio source with additional audio channels from speakers that surround the listener (surround channels), providing sound from a 360° radius in the horizontal plane (2D) as opposed to "screen channels" (centre, [front] left, and [front] right) originating only from the listener's forward arc.
Surround sound is characterized by a listener location or sweet spot where the audio effects work best, and presents a fixed or forward perspective of the sound field to the listener at this location. The technique enhances the perception of sound spatialization by exploiting sound localization; a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance. Typically this is achieved by using multiple discrete audio channels routed to an array of loudspeakers.
There are various surround sound based formats and techniques, varying in reproduction and recording methods along with the number and positioning of additional channels." [Surround sound. Wikipedia]
The hookup diagram example "Hook up drawing - Home entertainment system with surround sound" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Audio and Video Connectors solution from the Engineering area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Video and audio" contains 50 symbols of audio and video devices and equipment.
Use the design elements library "Video and audio" for drawing audio and video system layouts, cabling floor plans, electrical circuit schematics and wiring diagrams of video and sound reproduction systems using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
Using the "Video and audio" library you can create video and audio engineering drawings and layout plans of your digital and analog, stereophonic (stereo), high fidelity (Hi-Fi, or hifi), quadraphonic, surround-sound, and home audio systems, home entertainment systems, home cinema (home theater, or home theatre), high-definition television (HDTV) and 3D television systems.
The shapes library "Video and audio" is included in the Electric and Telecom Plans solution from the Building Plans area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
