Xena Season 6

The Audio: How Does The Disc Sound?

As was the case with earlier seasons, the audio mixes here are solid:

"Once again, Anchor Bay has created a great set of Dolby Digital 5.1 remixes worthy of the Xena name. Our little princess gets to really strut her metal-bikini stuff in wonderful, expansive six-channel glory. Separation is utilized almost too much - leave it to Bruce and Sam to have arrow sounds and sword unsheathing moving all over the place - but the rear channels deliver a great deal of additional effects and atmosphere. Frequency response can still be hit or miss, with dialogue reproduction uneven (outdoor scenes and onset production recording are particularly flat) but there is a decent amount of low-end activity thanks to the dedicated .1 LFE. An aggressive soundtrack reproduced here with surprising finesse, making for an all-around, sword-swingingly good mix."
