TOP-16 speakers

The speaker system is a set of equipment designed to play audio. Good acoustics are selected depending on the specific purpose, as the equipment and hardware component may vary. Therefore, the rating of speakers should be formed in various categories.

How to choose a speaker system

Before you bother directly with buying a speaker system, you need to figure out where it will be used. Currently, a huge number of models are available at different prices.

Each model has its own list of characteristics, and this list can be quite large. The choice is recommended based on several key parameters.

Acoustics

Important parameters

When choosing, the following parameters must be taken into account: material, power, frequency range and type of speakers. Modern speakers can be made of MDF, particleboard, plastic or metal. The highest quality columns are made of MDF. Aluminum devices have increased durability, but users note they have an unnatural sound.

The acoustics power should correspond to the room in which it is installed. For small rooms, 70 watts of power will be sufficient, while halls may require all 500 watts.

In order to properly transmit an audio signal, the equipment must have an appropriate frequency range. In the best models, it is represented by frequencies from 16 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

There are two types of speakers: active and passive. Active ones have their own hardware amplifiers and filters that allow you to increase the sound volume. However, this feature forces you to connect individual power to each device.

Important parameters include some additional points:

• remote control;
• the presence of a radio;
• the presence of shielding;
• type of mounts and ease of installation.

All this is attributed to the priority parameters that you should pay attention to when buying a device.
