Question

why Mathematically, a 5.1 sound file is much larger than a stereo sound file?

Expert Solution

Step 1

When it comes to surround sound channels like 5.1 or 2.1 or 7.1.2, the first number defines the number of main speakers. The second number defines the number of sub woofers, and the third number defines the number of “height” speakers.

Stereo Sound system:

Stereo is the reproduction of sound using two or more independent audio channels in a way that creates the impression of sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing.
In a stereo speaker system, there two speakers beside the television – left and right speakers will be powered by receiver or an amplifier. sometimes, the speakers are active and do not require a separate power source, sub woofer, and the speakers will be used with with TV, DVD, and mobile devices, such as phones and laptops.

A stereo system is a basic stereo setup that does not have surround sound and is used to listen to music. It is an affordable setup used to a home theater. It will give TV a better sound compared to tiny speakers.
