How is a ICE 5.1 system different from a HT 5.1 Gurus, Thoda Gyan Baanto please.
A 5.1 HT receiver has connections for 5 speakers ( can i call these separate channels ? ) and a subwoofer, thereby completing a 5.1 setup in a layman speak.
Nowadays, I see a lot of the ICE HUs advertising Dolby Digital 5.1, BBE, DSP capability. However the amp section of the HU mentions 4 channels. So assuming I dont add an external AMP, I get to connect 4 speakers - front LR and Rear LR.
Questions:
- does this mean that the HU only simulates 5.1 and does not give true 5.1 output ?
- Even if I add an amp, I get max 3 preouts from the HU, connect to the amp, and drive 4 speakers. and probably a sub with the HU. so how do i achieve 5.1
- if you need to add a center channel how is this done ? In some mercs I see a triangular 'jaali/mesh' on the dash. Is this meant for a center speaker ?
- what kind of speakers should you select for a car to play a 5.1 movie tracks, assuming multiple head rest mounted screens. i.e. should mids be directed front/back ? How can you get Dialouges to align to the screen etc.,
Enlighten me please.
thanks |
