Boston Acoustics - Hidden Theater
WHAT'S A HIDDEN THEATER?
With up to 7 speakers and a subwoofer, today s digital home theater systems completely envelop the listener in sound. But sometimes there is a desire for the speakers to blend into your décor, not take it over.

The main left and right channel speakers this is the stereo pair that forms the basis of your "music" system. In a Hidden Theater, these speakers are mainly responsible for reproducing off-screen effects and the film s soundtrack.
The center channel speaker arguably the most critical speaker in a Hidden Theater system for creating the connection between what you see and what you hear. Whether installed above, below, or behind (in a projection system) the video image, this speaker delivers dialog and on-screen sound effects.
Surround speakers are installed alongside or behind the listening position. The surround speakers are responsible for creating atmosphere and ambience, plus most of the movie s special effects. The surround speakers transform a room into a cinema.

The subwoofer
is the foundation in any Hidden Theater system. Reproducing the bass notes, the subwoofer adds realism to special effects such as explosions, jet engines, and earthquakes. These low frequencies help convey the emotional impact of a movie. New digital surround sound formats have a separate channel dedicated to the subwoofer.

6.1 or 7.1 Surround
(also known as Surround EX or DTS ES)for the ultimate Hidden Theater experience, many 6.1 and 7.1 surround processors support a surround-back channel(s). The use of surround-back speakers(s), in addition to side/rear-mounted surround speakers, enhances the sense of front-to-back motion in a movie s soundtrack and creates a sound field that completely envelops the audience.
