Surround Sound Developments

One of the most recent developments in the technology behind surround sound is one of Dolby’s new formats, and it has everyone very excited. It is Dolby TrueHD, which can support up to 13.1 channels of surround sound goodness. The main difference in this format and those of the older versions, is that it is a lossless format. This means that the sound being encoded into the data stream will come out at the receiving end in exactly the same way as it went in. This results in, for the first time ever, the home audio system consumer experiencing multi-channel movie soundtracks exactly as they were heard in the mixing studio during the production.
