Amplifiers - Heart of Sound System

The heart of any system is the processor/amplifier module that can plug in between car stock receiver and speakers with the help of any vehicle-specific wiring harness. Various technicians measure the acoustics of specific vehicle interiors, then develop a program to get strongest and cleanest audio performance possible from the stock loudspeakers. The Powerstage module breathes new life into your vehicle's factory system, automatically correcting for the limitations of the factory speakers, then adding plenty of power so the speakers can sound their best.

Home Theater Systems - Brings in Happiness

Home Theater Systems help to create a very good cinematic experience at home. These systems can be assembled easily instead of buying in the complete set. Such systems have gained importance since they bring in wide exposure to good picture quality and sound effects. It consists of amplifiers, speakers, subwoofers, woofers and many others.

Room Correction Systems a Breakthrough in Audio Industry

It is a well-known fact that every room suffers from high or low frequency modes and dips and also the sound waves which bounce inside the room and produce interference pattern. The room correction system can soak up the sound waves energy as it approaches the walls, as there is nothing to reflect, to cause interference peak in the room. It is an extremely effective and affordable solution, but it takes up a lot of space.

Digital room correction is a process where in the digital filters are designed to amend or change any of the unfavorable room acoustics effects and are applied to the input of a sound reproduction system.  These modern room correction systems can help to produce substantial improvement in time and frequency domain response of the sound reproduction system.

The digital room correction system configuration can be done merely by measuring the response of room at the listening location of the loudspeakers. The computer software reverses the effect of the room and also the linear distortion in the loudspeakers and amplifiers. The room correction filters are causal, there is always some delay. For audiophile the room correction system can feature the sound of bells and whistles which make the ears to tingle.

Like any traditional component, the room correction system was constructed to help installers correct the acoustic problems due to various room dimensions. Through link up of the PC which runs the room correction software people can measure their home entertainment response to sound and later system can create a model called Room Knowledge. The correction system puts all the heavy audio data into use by the correction of frequency irregularities and unleashes full capabilities of the audio system. This digital room correction is used to help home theater systems to gain significance as it can produce better sound.

The Digital room correction is the new advanced form of digital technologies that allows user to fine-tune their system to eliminate any of the room interaction. These systems should be expertly crafted as they are not cheap enough.The Digital equalization technique provides very narrow response peak and notches, also with precise phase correction so the idea of electronic room-correction has become very popular again.

The room’s response always varies throughout the area, as different reflected frequencies interact with each other at different places. To conclude it is for sure that these systems have become the need of the hour.

Headphones Integral Part of Audio Systems

Headphones are seen everywhere, be it within the house or outside the door, all, use of headphone is indispensable. The headphone is being designed and developed as per the latest developments in technology.

The original headphone consists of two units which hang on the edge of ears.

Head wearing headphones are the first of its type. In comparison to the other type of headphones, it is not very efficient one and is inconvenient. These are important part of the audio system which consists of amplifiers and speakers.

Then in later years earplug which is a revolutionary breakthrough in developing headphone. The Its small size makes it very convenient to be used outside. As urban developing, environmental noise increases, in-ear monitor is a new breakthrough product that be more suitable for the outside world applying.

The development of headphone is keeping in pace with the recent developments in technology e.g. home theater systems. Headphones are expecting a good music space in the market and we feel that in future every customer purchases this ideal product.

Speakers Necessity in Our Lives

The backbone of every common sound system is speakers as they carry ultimate quality of sound. The best ever recording, encoded on advanced storage device and also played by best ever deck and amplifier, will not sound good if the system is linked up to poor speakers.

The speaker system is one that can take up any electronic signal stored on CDs, tapes and DVDs and easily turns them back into actual sound that we can hear. Watch this video as it gives a thorough insight into the origin of speakers and how useful they are in our day to day lives. They are very much used in cars as well and hence car speakers are in demand.

A speaker's sensitivity measures the relationship between the input power and the output sound. Sensitivity describes in fact how high the amplifier volume has to be to make the speakers work and give their best.  The sensitivity of speaker is always measured in decibels which is watt/meter. The sound signal after passing through the amplifiers propagates towards speakers. 

Know About Home Theater Speakers Placement Guidelines

Viewers today want to be completely engrossed in every action and character of the movie. It can be attained possibly through the cinematic effect of home theater system created by the use of surround sound.

Going for the discounted rates of home theater speakers should not be the only reason to buy them. Many other factors are also responsible for buying them. The size of speakers also plays an important role in its purchase. It will in turn help you to buy the correct size for home entertainment area.

In case of lack of space the home theater sound system can be mounted on the wall or sitting around the room. Buying wall mounts where the speakers could be mounted immediately is a space saving solution.

Lot many different types of speakers are already available in market. Now it has become easy to do an initial research on speakers before buying them. The proper market survey in field or through internet is very compulsory to crack the best deal. It can be done by proper site browsing of the relevant sites available on internet which in turn can give you the basic information about different home theater audio systems.

Field market survey needs just dropping into a nearby local retail store that sells a home entertainment equipment. Such type of stores can give you information with demonstration about surround sound, subwoofers and any other type of speakers. By checking sound of each and every speaker in person is also a better way of doing it. An ideal system consists of minimum five speakers.

The five speakers which mainly consists of:

• Right
• Two surround speakers
• Center
• Front left

To get the best out of speakers it is important to see that sound originates from all the specific positions where in the home theater environment is located. All the above five different speakers create a different response characteristics and brings in different effects.

It is very important to understand basics of home theater speaker placement; because ultimately what matters is how final product will deliver its best.

Keep in mind following guidelines of the home theater systems placement

•If position of TV is direct then ideal placement of speakers would be on top of the TV screen.
• If the speaker is placed directly on top, then the front edge of the speaker should be in line with the front edge of television unit.
• Center of speaker should be placed at primary listening area.
• The placement of center speaker should always be equi -distant from listening position as the front left and front right speakers.

Guide to Car Audio Speaker Installation

Speakers basically work when different set of air pressures are being created at different frequencies by moving back and forth. These speakers are considered an important component of home theater system used at home. The amplifier inside the radio produces electrical impulses that vary as per the fluctuations in (AC) voltages.

Speaker Sensitivity means how loud a speaker can be played. A higher Sensitivity rating means how loud the speaker will play. The various types of speakers are:

Front Speakers - By mounting speakers in front, the path between speakers and ears is minimized. Always try to point the speakers towards car center to minimize distance between right and left speakers to your ears.

Rear Speakers - Rear speakers should be used in such a way that they should not overpower front speakers. Of course one should be able to barely hear the rear speakers.

Center Channels - The purpose of the center channel is to make you feel the song at the center of the stage. There are various commercially available center-channel processors available with built-in amplification.

The speaker placement inside the car should be such as to get quality sound. Many ways are there to fit Car speakers into the car and get high quality sound.

For the home audio system, speakers are placed an equally distance apart from each other. It is a well-known fact that if they are equally distant then it can produce much better sound quality. To get that special effect the car audio speakers should be kept at the same distance apart. The speakers should be kept at some distance higher from the floor.

Distortion in the signal is responsible for destroying the speakers. Always try to minimize the volume if you hear the distortion. The use of high power amplifier helps the system volume to be higher and if volume is lowered there won’t be any distortion.

It is believed that car interiors can add spikes to speaker. It means that when one will add speakers to the car, the frequency response of speakers will change and also it will be high or low depending on the reflective surfaces of your car.

The most elaborate car stereo systems and competition vehicles have their speakers placed in alternative locations. All the auto and car stereo manufacturers should make sure that the door compartment and the dead space, or usable space should be maintained for convenient speaker mounting. One should always, try to match your speaker cone area with your subwoofer’s cone area.
