Surround Sound Effects Vs. 3D Audio
2
Introduction

• Surround sound and 3D sound effects are used in
  very similar ways.
• Surround sound involves placing multiple speakers
  around a room to put you in the center of the
  action. It makes watching movies and television
  more realistic.
• With 3D sound, not only do sounds come from the
  left and right of you, they also come from above
  and below you.

Surround Sound

• Surround sound was invented to change the way
  viewers watch and listen to entertainment.
• It uses an array of speakers, placed around a
  room, to create a multidimensional sonic
  atmosphere.
• The idea is to have football games, concerts, and
  smash-hit movies really come to life.
• In movie theaters years ago, the entire
  soundtrack was played on one speaker, or a
  collection of speakers that were placed behind
  the movie screen. Today, audiences in movie
  theaters are used to hearing sounds thundering on
  each side of them.

Benefits of Surround Sound

• Surround sound enriches the sound quality of an
  audio source with additional audio channels from
  speakers that surround the listener, providing
  sound from a 360-degree radius.
• Plenty of other places benefit from surround
  sound including conferences, video games, and
  even parks / outdoor attractions. For example, an
  exhibition at an aquarium is instantly enhanced
  with the sounds of waves coming to shore.

3D Sound

• 3D sound is also known as spatial sound.
• Sounds come from all directions and distances,
  and we're able to
  distinguish them by their pitch, tone, loudness,
  and location.
• For example, a flock of birds flying over your
  house, a car door shut
  across the street, and more. All of
  these are examples of 3D sound.
• Taking 3D sound and using it enhances a user's
  experience
  in a video game.
