What is a diffuse field surround?
A. Diffuse field (Sometimes called “dipole surrounds duplicate the effect produced by multiple surround speakers found in movie theaters. They fire sound forward and back, but not directly at your ears. Sound bounces off all of the room’s surfaces before reaching your ears, creating a diffuse sound field that feels like its all around you. The result: your ears will not be able localize where the sound is coming from, and will be fooled into believing they are in a new environment entirely. Conventional speakers often fire sound right at your ears, and the effect is lost.
