However - as far as mismatched spreakers go, this really is a no-no.
All 5 channels should be the same make & model, or you may well get translation issues. Add to this that all 5 main channels should also be as close to full range as you can manage (if using Active Nearfields you will be okay at a 50Hz cutoff assuming that your .1 is properly set up & calibrated, with a seamless transition between 5 mains & .1 channel to reduce lumpiness which is all too common.
What I seriously recommend you do is pop over to the RPG and grab a copy of the 5.1 recommendations PDF. If you're working in surround of any channel count, this is holy writ.
See GRAMMY.com for the relevant documents.
Hope this helps. |
No theatre in the United States has the same speakers for the surround channels vs the front channels- This is a post topic not a Music production one- they are very different.
Dolby and THX (and AMPAS) are the only standards that matter in film sound reproduction.
