surround sound
Three-dimensional listening experience
Surround sound is an audio system that places speakers around the listener to create an immersive experience, simulating sounds coming from multiple directions.
Standard home theater setups use five or seven speakers plus a subwoofer: We upgraded to surround sound for movie night.
The term also describes the audio format itself.
