Connection to Surround Sound Amplifier and Speakers
Speaker Types
Different speaker types have different sound reproduction characteristics, which
affect their performance in a home theater environment. Crestron makes no specific
recommendations, and provides the following information for reference purposes
only.
To create the most realistic surround sound experience, it is recommended that you
match your speakers’ tonal characteristics. This is also known as ‘timbre matching.’
Direct Radiating
Direct radiating speakers provide a focused image, which makes it relatively easy to
detect the general location of the sound (localization). This opposes the type of open
sound you would expect in a large theater or concert hall.
