3D Sound
Surround sound is a technique for enriching the fidelity and depth of sound reproduction by using multiple audio channels from speaker (electronics), speakers that surround the listener (surround channels). Its first application was in movie theaters. Prior to surround sound, theater sound systems commonly had three ''screen channels'' of sound that played from three loudspeakers (left, center, and right) located in front of the audience.
