Introduction

Our recommended surround system for music and cinema uses five loudspeakers, with the main left and right loudspeakers providing the bass. This gives a very natural sound for music listening, and a precise three-dimensional image combined with good bass performance for cinema. An ideal configuration would include a pair of Meridian M60 Active loudspeakers for the main left and right loudspeakers and a Meridian M60C Active Loudspeaker for the centre loudspeaker.

If you also have a mono subwoofer available you can choose to use this for the Cinema presets, to enhance cinema effects without affecting the quality of music from your system (Type 6).

If your primary interest is cinema, you can use a mono subwoofer to enhance the bass performance for both cinema and music presets.

This is the configuration recommended by Dolby for use with Pro Logic, and is a good choice if your main left and right loudspeakers have a poor bass response, or the room is large.
