The left and right surround speakers in the bottom line create the surround sound effect. 5.1 surround sound ("five-point one") is the common name for surround sound audio systems. 5.1 is the most commonly used layout in home theatres.

Surround mixes of more or fewer channels are acceptable, if they are compatible, as described by the ITU-R BS. 775-1, [2] with 5.1 surround. The 3-1 channel setup (consisting of one monophonic surround channel) is such a case, where both LS and RS are fed by the monophonic signal at an attenuated level of -3 dB. [25]
