Surround sound and holophonies
- What is surround audio? What are holophonies?
There are different types of audio mix, among the most modern there is surround audio (Rigs, 1995; Ranada, 1996; HyperPhysics, n.d.) and holophonies (Nocetti, 2014) to explain this we must go through the other types of existing mix, starting with the mono sound (Difere, 2014), going through the stereo to reach the current formats as multichannel (Euronics, n.d.).
The mono sound corresponds to a sound from a single sound source, such as, for example, old radios or instrument amplifiers; the stereo sound corresponds to the sound coming from two sound sources, such as music equipment, speakers integrated to televisions or headphones; while a surrond or multichannel sound system corresponds to a many channels on a system, generally five sound sources distributed in a room, such as in a cinema. Holophonies, 3D sound or 8D sound is a type of stereo mix that simulates a surround mix, but is made to be heard with headphones.
