Ability of a surround sound processor to move sound around a given acoustical space from speaker to speaker. Steering is most evident when a jet flies over the audience in a movie or in some similar situation resulting in the sound from the jet moving from the front speakers over the audience’s heads through the middle of the space and to the rear. The sound moves from speaker to speaker creating the illusion the jet is flying through the theater (or home or other space). Audio components exhibiting good sound steering capabilities help to recreate a lifelike sound field and draw the viewer/listener into the action.
