Main channel speakers, in a system that has Bass Management, can be small and can be placed where large full range speakers can’t.

Unlike two-channel stereo, multichannel audio requires that speakers be placed in very specific locations. In video post it means placing speakers close to the sides and top of the monitor. In Telecine, it means fit- ting the center channel speaker inside a light cove. In situations where near field monitoring is required, it can mean three speakers sitting on the console. Additionally, the surround speakers are two or more speakers that need to be located at least 2 feet above seated ear height on the wall above your head. Full range speakers are generally too big and / or too heavy for most of these applications.

Bass Management is the defacto standard in the home.

Virtually all multichannel home theatre systems, whether they are THX Certified and/or use, Dolby Digital or DTS, employ processors with bass management and use five small satellite speakers and a subwoofer. Therefore the recording engineer, director, and producer need to be able to hear what the end customer will hear in his home.

One subwoofer in the correct location of given room will out perform the bass output of five full range speakers.

In small rooms the frequency response of a speaker below 100 Hz is heavily dependent on both the modes of the room and the position of the speaker relative to the listener. (A simple test is to place a subwoofer in the listening position and walk around the boundaries of the room. The bass response will dramatically change from position to position.) The modal response and the position sensitivity makes it virtually impos- sible to get the bass response of 5 full-range speakers consistent. However, it is much easier to find the best place in a room to place a subwoofer to give the flattest frequency at the listening position.
