Product Description

Product Description

The Cambridge SoundWorks Surround 5.1 surround sound speakers feature more output than their smaller counterparts, the Surround II 5.1, and are suggested for use with most surround sound systems. These state-of-the-art surrounds use MultiPole technology so they can be switched from dipole (diffuse radiation) to bipole (direct radiation) operation. This makes them the ideal speakers for use with any surround sound system, especially Dolby Digital systems which send distinctly different signals to the right and left surround speakers. The MultiPole switch on the Surround 5.1 alters the directionality of the speaker. Dipole mode sends the mid- and high-frequency output along the side walls, so all the listeners hear a diffused, enveloping sound. Bipole mode concentrates this output toward the listening area, providing central listeners more precise imaging. For all Dolby Pro Logic Recordings and most current Dolby Digital recordings we recommend the dipole mode. For some Dolby Digital recordings such as those with lots of lateral sound positioning crafted into the rear channels, the bipolar mode is a better choice.

White, also available in Charcoal.

4.0 out of 5 stars They really do "surround" you!, November 18, 2002

I really like Cambridge's speakers, both because they sound good and because even I, a struggling college student, can afford them! The Surrounds do an excellent job of making me feel like I am in the movie, by bouncing those rear channel effects all over my room.

This review is from: Cambridge SoundWorks The Surround 5.1 Surround Speaker (Pair), White (Electronics)

have had a pair of these for years. they are awesome speakers, and sound really good. They also sell a newer version, that is less boxy, called the s300s. I bought the newer ones this summer, and have moved these older ones to the basement. they still work and sound great, and are very affordable. Nice becuase the off-white color makes them blend in, and you forget you even have them in the corners.
