The Pitt S01e03 Dd5.1 __top__ Today

This is where Episode 3 shines. The plot forces several characters to step into hallways or supply closets for quiet moments. In a standard stereo mix, it’s just quiet. In 5.1, the moment a character exits the main bay, the rears pick up the muffled chaos from the other room. You hear the distant crash of a gurney, the muffled scream of a patient, the staticky walkie-talkie from the nurses' station behind your left ear . the pitt s01e03 dd5.1
