A/V Q&A: ASK TIM

Let us be your collaborative partner during your next Audio Visual Project

Adam, our AV Systems Designer, and Tim, our Senior Design Manager, alternate as host of our quarterly Q & A column, launched in January.

In this blog post edition of our A/V Q&A, Tim, our Senior Design Manager, answers the question:

“What is a 6.1 Speaker System?”

When you see six speakers installed in a meeting room ceiling, you may be inclined to believe that what you are seeing is a 6.1 speaker system. This is actually not the case! This combination of six speakers is a distributed audio system whose purpose is to provide intelligible and moderate listening levels to participants anywhere in a presentation space.

It is purpose-built for the room. A 6.1 system would comprise of six individualized and crossed-over audio channels passing high-pass audio to each of the six ceiling speakers, with one, individual crossed-over channel of low-pass audio to a non-existent subwoofer in the space.

Do you have any questions? Contact Tim today!
