In Reply to: Re: Please help an HT Newbe with center channel question posted by Kevin Korom on January 27, 2002 at 14:23:05:
Kevin,Thanks again for your input. Your giving me serious reason to consider going to multi-channel.
What your saying about good 2 ch. mix vs. bad 2 ch. mix makes sense. It would explain why some movies seem OK on my system, and some are incomprehensible.
So my next question is; if I go to surround sound, will the quality of the sound track be more consistent, or will I still have the same problem of losing the voices? Or to put it another way, is it just as likely that a video will have a bad 5 channel mix, or is it just sloppiness on the downmix to 2 channel that causes the spotty quality?
Thanks,
Brian
Follow Ups:
Generally speaking, a 5.1 setup will eliminate or at least reduce your problems. Now, that's not to say you won't still have the occasional action flick where the dialog is just buried in the mix- it does happen.Having 4 channels roaring with special effects and dialog coming out the center channel can still be hard to make out at times, but at least then you're receiving the dialog from a point source. And many betters receivers/procs have a "dialog enhancer" mode to combat that very issue (don't like them myself, but they are an option).
Regards,
Kevin
