5.1 ("five point one") is the common name for six channel surround sound multichannel audio systems. 5.1 is now the most commonly used layout in both commercial cinemas and home theaters. It uses five full bandwidth channels and one low-frequency effects channel (the "point one").Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS, and SDDS are all commonly 5.1 systems. 5.1 is also the standard surround sound audio component of digital broadcast and music.

All 5.1 systems use the same speaker channels and configuration, having a front left and right, a center channel, and two surround channels.

5.1 dates back to the 1970s (1976) when Dolby Labs modified the track usage of the six analogue magnetic soundtracks on Todd-AO 70mm film prints. Instead of the 5 screen channels and one surround channel of the Todd-AO format, Dolby Stereo 70 mm Six Track provided three screen channels, two surround channels and a low-frequency enhancement channel.

When digital sound was applied to 35mm release prints, starting with Batman Returns in 1992, the same 5.1 layout was adopted. The ability to provide 5.1 sound had been one of the key reasons for using 70mm for prestige screenings. The provision of 5.1 digital sound on 35mm significantly reduced the use of the very expensive 70mm format.
