| With most of the focus being placed on picture quality, people often overlook the fact that sound quality can make or break the enjoyment of their regularly scheduled programming. Let’s take a look at the audio advantages that are made possible by HDTV.
Digital vs. Analogue
Digital sound significantly increases the audio quality. The digital signal that reduces interference and improves the quality of a TV’s picture also improves the quality of the sound. Analogue TVs currently broadcast sound in stereo FM. That’s right, the same as the radio. The difference in clarity that you can notice in an FM radio and a CD is the same difference in clarity between an analogue and a HDTV.
Surround Sound
Surround sound brings the movie theatre experience into your living room. How do you improve on the clarity of digital sound? Surround yourself in it,
of course. Many HDTVs and digital programs are equipped to provide surround sound. With surround sound speakers in your home theatre, you’ll be able to experience movie quality sound from the comfort of your couch.
