Many people think that using 7.2 surround sound gives them a better experience. You can use either 7.1 surround sound or 7.2 surround sound and get great results. 7.1 and 7.2 surround sound does not significantly differ from one another.

The biggest difference between 7.1 and 7.2 surround sound is that if you are using 7.2 surround sound, you are able to use two low frequency speakers instead of one. If you’re not picky about sound formats here are some of the best choices for 7.1 surround sound in a home theater. For instance, if you have a 5.1 or 7.1 receiver, you can use bass management software to “clone” the other channels and send them to the same speakers as the main channels. Most of today’s movies and soundtracks are wrapped around a 5.1 channel design. Your 7.1 sound will be limited to the same sound field as the original soundtrack, so make sure you know what you're going to be using your speaker system for.

7.1 or 7.2 surround sound receiver is a much-debated topic among owners of home theaters. Opinions and preferences differ based on factors like room size, hearing capability, genre of movies etc. 7.2 adds a second subwoofer to the equation, which allows you to enjoy more of that surround sound presence.

They don't need to simulate sounds coming from the back, but can actually play them. Every inch of real estate in your living room is precious, and that’s why surround sound formats are engineered to take up as little room as possible.

The frequency or vibrations that each subwoofer is capable of producing is measured in Hertz . It is so subtle that we had many people in our audience try to identify the difference and many of them weren’t able to. Even if you’re a hard core home theater owner, brandishing the ability to differentiate between 7.1 and 7.2 might not be worth spending big bucks for it.

However, they only produce the "booms" and "thuds" but not the subtle effects. The best home theatre systems are created by using smaller, but strategically placed subwoofers. 7.2 Surround Sound was developed to provide a better sound experience at home. The 2 in 7.2 stands for the second subwoofer which guarantees a fuller sound.

When you have your own separate subwoofer amplifier, you will be able to adjust the bass volume on it and get the perfect balance with your main speakers. Each surround sound standard has its own set of supported devices that can play back the sound. A 7.2 surround sound speaker set up is a step up from 7.1 surround sound. Although the name might not make sense to a lot of first time home theater viewers, 7.2 surround sound is essentially a 7.1 channel surround sound with 2 separate base channel speakers. There are a couple of important benefits to a 7.2 surround sound speaker arrangement when compared to 7.1 surround sound, but most of them only apply to audiophiles with a very particular taste.

Different home theater equipment setup will have a different number of speaker setups. Since applicable output depends on speaker count, it is necessary to understand the basic distinction between 7.1 and 7.2 surround sound in order to achieve the best surround sound possible. As far as I can tell, the biggest advantage of 7.2 is when there are stereo surround channels from the Web or when using the built-in decoder . In this case, it becomes easier to keep the soundtracks consistent across multiple playback systems. As a consumer, you get more gain out of the extra rear channels than from the extra subwoofer, so making a decision on the first number is more important than the second number when deciding between the two formats.

The main difference between the 7.2 surround sound receiver and the 7.1 surround sound receiver is the number of subwoofers. On the other hand, I feel like I don’t use the additional subwoofer channels much in most cases, when the movie was encoded with 5.1 sound. It worked perfectly and it was super easy to switch when I wanted to by just stopping and starting the machine.

This means the system must be able to produce the sound experience you’re looking for while not taking up any more space than is necessary. The 7.1 and 7.2 surround sound speaker channels are different and will give viewers and listeners a different experience every time. Surround sound has evolved further to the 7.1 & 7.2 standards as upgrades to the traditional 5.1 & 5.2 standards.

To play back 7.1 channels of sound, you’ll need a receiver that supports 7.1 channels, and your video player, cable box, and every other device in your entertainment center will need to have 7.1 audio-out connectors.
