Of course, a good speaker is essential to get the maximum sound out of an audio system. You may have the best player and the best AV receiver in the world, but without the right speakers, even your home theater will be worthless due to the lack of quality sound.
Choosing the right speaker can make a difference in quality, but with so many options and high prices out there, it can be difficult to decide which type of speaker is best for you. This issue probably confuses you in choosing a good speaker. We recommend that you stay with us with this article to share with you the tips that are necessary when buying a speaker!
Different types of speakers
Due to the variety of Them available in the market, it is difficult to know which one is the best for you. It is better to think first about what you are going to do with these. Are you looking for speakers for a home theater, or are you looking for a sound system for several rooms, or would you like to add a high-quality stereo sound system to your turntable?! Once you have decided what you are going to use the speaker for, you should also consider the environment in which you want to listen to music.
There are different types of speakers that can be included in the environment in one way:
- Wall/ceiling speakers
- Sandbar
- Standing/tower speaker
- bookshelf speaker
- Surround or satellite speakers
- Center channel speaker
- Subwoofer
- Built-in speaker
- In-wall speakers
- Smart speaker
- Portable speakers
Tips and tricks for choosing a quality speaker
Once you’ve chosen the right pair of speakers for your needs, there are a few other factors to consider in order to get the most out of your audio system. Some of these factors are:
- Size: Although large and heavy speakers may seem old-fashioned, they are often better quality because they can accommodate larger, higher-quality materials.
- Frequency: Frequency is the range of sound that a speaker can produce and is measured in Hertz. A good speaker covers the range of frequencies that the human ear can hear, which is roughly 20 to 20,000 Hz.
- Sensitivity: Sensitive speakers require less energy to achieve a higher sound level or volume. A high-sensitivity speaker produces approximately 100 dB per watt of power.
- Power control: the more watts the speaker has, the louder it sounds. This means clearer and smoother sounds will be heard at higher volumes
Bluetooth speakers
Bluetooth speakers are almost the same as other active speakers (with built-in amplifiers). Their main difference is that the sound is transmitted through Bluetooth instead of other wireless methods. Music is often stored on cell phones or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Using a Bluetooth speaker, you can listen to music without using headphones.
When it comes to the price of Bluetooth speakers, your budget can be as small as buying a small speaker or big enough to buy a speaker that fills the room with real music. So first look at your budget.
The Best Speaker Brands
Popular speaker brands are not few. Some of them are: Zebronics, INFINITY, boat, Sony, GIZMORE, JBL, F&D & OUD and more. In the rest of this article, we have tried to introduce the top companies and brands that have always produced high-quality speakers.
1-JBL JBL
JBL has been operating in the audio industry for decades and has made several achievements in the field of technology. This has made it a well-known brand all over the world. JBL speakers have several unique features and are water resistant. They are a good option for bass fans who listen to heavy bass.
2- Bose
Bose is a well-known brand worldwide that bring the best sound experience to the listener. Bose speakers provide high-quality sound in a small box and can be used anywhere!
3-Boot Boat
Boat is an Indian brand started in 2015 by Aman Gupta. This is a unique achievement as it is the first Indian company to reach this level. The speakers of this brand are made of hard fabric and most of them are made firmly.
4- Sony
Sony products need no introduction because this company has already launched advanced speakers at competitive prices. Sony speakers have high quality sound and strong bass. Despite their average size, Sony speakers can be used for gatherings. Sony has high price flexibility, so you can get its speakers with any budget.
The size of the room is more than you think; It is important
When buying a speaker, the size of the room should also be taken into account, because it is obvious that even the most high-quality speakers (in terms of normal use) in the world are not able to cover very large environments. In a small room, you can start your work with “small” speakers. For a large room (meaning a room where you sit more than 3.5 meters away from the speakers when listening), you need a “floor or tower speaker” sized speaker. The same is true for home theater systems. A 5.1 system will probably meet the needs of a small room, but a larger room will probably need a 7.1 or larger system.
You have to think about the environment itself apart from the size. Remember that rooms with many hard surfaces (such as wooden or parquet floors) reflect sound in a way that may change the sound. Likewise, if there’s too much space between the speakers and the area you’re sitting in while you’re listening, it may cause the sound to come out more than you’d expect.
So, to get the best results, consider the environment when choosing new speakers and pay attention to this again after setting the speakers. You may have to rearrange some of the furniture to solve the space problem, or throw two rugs on the floor to solve the reverberation problem. So instead of putting the technology and the room in conflict, try to pay attention to the exact placement of your speakers to complete the environment. In this case, the end result will be worth it.
Technical Specifications
When you consider the above considerations, you have narrowed down the options on the table. Now you can focus on the technical specifications of the remaining options to find the right speaker.
Always pay attention to impedance, which is measured in ohms. When connecting your speakers to the receiver, you should always make sure that the impedance of each piece of equipment matches the other. If you are buying Them rated at 8 ohms, make sure your receiver is capable of handling this type of load. If you ignore this tip, you may need to add an amplifier to your set to get the speakers to the sound you want (or worse, turn off the speakers altogether).
You should also focus on sensitivity, which is basically how loud a speaker can play per watt. In order to better understand what was said, remember with low sensitivity need more power to be louder. For best results, try to choose speakers with a sensitivity rating of around 80 dB per watt. But if you want to make the walls sound, then the sensitivity level of 100 dB per watt is suitable!
