Multichannel audio generates both localized off-screen sounds and convincing envelopment.

Evidence

Movies and music both benefited from the perceptions this system could generate, ranging from clearly localized off-screen sounds to appropriately delayed reflected sounds that generated persuasive envelopment. It was a good beginning. Figure 8.3 illustrates the basic effects. — Toole, Floyd E, Sound reproduction- the acoustics and…, 766
