A stereo speaker set is a left-right, two-channel speaker system. A multichannel audio 
speaker system has a left-right front and left-right rear channel, and it may include a 
subwoofer and a center speaker. Side speakers are included in more advanced systems. A 
subwoofer provides enhanced bass sounds.

“.1” indicates a subwoofer. For example, 7.1 channels refers to an eight-speaker mode 
and uses two front speakers (left-right), two side speakers (left-right), two rear speakers 
(left-right), a center speaker, and a subwoofer.
