{{Short description|Sound systems that use 7 speakers and one subwoofer}}[[Image:7 1 channels surround sound.svg|thumb|right|200px|Label for 7.1 extended surround sound]]'''7.1 surround sound''' is the common name for an eight-channel [[surround sound|surround]] audio system commonly used in [[home cinema|home theatre]] configurations. It adds two additional speakers to the more conventional six-channel ([[5.1 surround sound|5.1]]) audio configuration. As with [[5.1 surround sound]], 7.1 surround sound positional audio uses the standard front left and right, [[center channel|center]], and [[Low-frequency effects|LFE]] (subwoofer) speaker configuration. However, whereas a 5.1 surround sound system combines both surround and rear channel effects into two channels (commonly configured in home theatre set-ups as two rear surround speakers), a 7.1 surround system splits the surround and rear channel information into four distinct channels, in which sound effects are directed to left and right surround channels ('''SL''' and '''SR'''), plus two rear surround channels ('''SBL''' and '''SBR''').▼
