For the dubbing of frontal stereo channels in home theatres an ordinary stereo pairs which is usually included into any Hi-Fi system is used. Nothing new was created in this sphere. The stereo acoustics has been serving for long period of time for dubbing of films in Dolby Surround Stereo sound format. It simultaneously reproduces music recordings. Such kind of versatility was conditioned by the technics’ high cost when not everyone amateur of good sound could afford to buy himself two pairs of speakers. The function of frontal acoustics can make shelf models of speakers, but in this case there will not be enough sound and for this reason you can use sub buffer in order to enhance the sound. With the Dolby Pro Logic format appearance the stereo pairs had acquired acoustics for dubbing of central channel. Before this time effect-monitors have been used in big cinema theatres. On their basis “domesticated” speakers have been created. That time their diapason of reproduced sound frequencies was deliberately limited because of specific peculiarities of the Dolby Pro logic format. With emergence of digital technologies in sound recording (in particular DVD discs) the situation has changed. The requirements to the central channel became stricter as to frontal channels. However numerous of companies are convinced that central speaker the most works on dialogues and exactly for this reason the one of the main requirement to central speaker is clearness in middle frequencies transmission which means the credibility of actors’ voices reproduction. According to shape the central speaker is different from other acoustic system elements. It is often a horizontal positioned box with two dynamics. The principle of sound waves diffusion of such kind of acoustics consists in even and nondirectional emission of frequencies in horizontal flatness.
