Surround Sound mid bass (about 80Hz) on up. In the rear go the subwoofers and sometimes, small full range drivers which provide "fill". So, in essence, today's best car audio systems are designed to produce an enveloping environment very similar to that of a home theater. The use of M1 Active Mk2s (or any monopolar speaker) as full-range surrounds would be useful in the following cases: • If the surround speakers are just as important as the fronts in achieving a specialized effect, such as completely mixing the sax in the left rear only and a flute in the right rear. • If you know that your mix will always be played back on a monopolar surround system. • If the control room is completely damped with sound absorption on all surfaces. (This renders the reverberant-field generating properties of a bipole/dipole speaker ineffective.) * Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic, and Dolby Digital are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. 38 M1 Active Reference Manual
