Narcos: Mexico (TV-MA)

SEASON 1 EPISODE 8 (01:53 - 07:00)

If a sense of surround spaciousness is what you crave, this is for you. From lighting your front channels with dialog over the phone to ATVs revving from the back of you to the side, every surround effect seamlessly blends to build a detailed soundstage. Traveling from one speaker to the next, you’ll notice how realistic the whirling sound of the helicopter is, as it slowly takes its position from behind to above you. Even with rifles firing loudly from all of your surround speakers, you’ll still be able to hear distant ambient panic-stricken yells and hurried footsteps clearly. An ATV then steals the spotlight from the rustling sounds in the marijuana field, before zooming past to behind

Now You See Me (PG-13)

The use of a highly actively sound mix certainly has resulted in a soundstage that is as highly theatrical as its on-screen visuals. Razzle and dazzle ambient effects are meticulously placed to put you right in the crowd when The Four Horseman takes the stage. Panning motions of the camera are translated with pinpoint accuracy in the sound department to further your immersion into the highly engaging fistfights. Overhead sound of flying banknotes showcases the attention to detail with movement rendered realistically. Bass moments hit hard when they are in the spotlight and enhance the overall sound field's realistic appeal.
