7.2 Surround sound with all the toys

Looking for fully immersive 7.2 surround sound with all the toys?

This client wanted exactly that – and we were all too happy to oblige.

For this project we had to install power to the front-of-room cupboard where the components were located, along with network points and data points. All cables had to be run through the ceiling and in-ceiling speakers cut in to create the 7.2 surround system. We also installed a 43” Samsung TV in the main bedroom along with power, network and a TV point on a swing arm bracket. All in all our techs were on site 1.5 days for the complete installation, and finished off with a full audio and video calibration.

Component highlights of this project are the:

• Yamaha Aventage RXA1080 7.2 channel amp, which has 110W at its disposal – for an amazing soundstage, which can make your music and movies sound awesome!

If you are not sure what 7.2 surround sound is – here is a short explainer.

What is 7.2 Surround Sound?

7.2 adds surround sound in the form of two rear surround back speakers, which are in addition to your standard surround speakers at the side or rear.

If you are after truly immersive sound then a 7.2 system will get you that, but you do need the right source to get ‘true’ 7.2. This includes BlueRay discs and 4K streams that have Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD or DTS-Master HD encoding. You can get 7.2 simulated via a 5.2 AV receiver, but each rear surround speaker does not get discrete, specific information.
