The Benefits Of Surround Sound Speakers

Posted by admin in Surround Sound on 02 28th, 2010

When surround sound speakers came out, I swore to myself that I would never get them. I snorted at the very idea! You see, I was a fan of low fidelity rock music, and I was quite proud of it. I did not need any of that fancy nonsense – you just needed to hear the song. Any music that needed a surround sound speaker system to be truly appreciated was probably lousy music. Straightforward rock ‘n roll, which I knew was the best music in the world, certainly did not need that kind of technology. It could be appreciated in its raw and unadulterated form. It even sounded good through a blown speaker cabinet.

My wife, however, has very different opinions about music. She has very different opinions about everything, in fact, but fortunately both of us like to argue. She knew that she needed home theater surround sound speakers. For her, my music was just plain noise. It had no subtlety in her opinion, unlike the classical music that she treasured.

This is why I first listened to speakers surround sound, but I am glad that I did. I was surprised at how much difference they really made. They really brought out the music at its full depth. Even simple, straightforward, dirty rock ‘n roll sounded great through surround sound speakers. We had some of the best surround sound speakers that were on the market at the time, which was pretty impressive for us. Before that, you see, all I had were some big, old, half dead speakers from the mid-70s. Her stereo equipment consisted of a dual tape deck boombox from the mid-80s. The difference between that and the surround sound speakers was like night and day!

It was easy for us to pick out surround sound speakers. My wife had some friends who were big audiophiles, you see, and they played their Boise surround sound system to us. If you have never had the chance to listen to a surround sound home theater system, however, you probably should not go out and buy speakers. It is important to get a chance to listen to it in a room of similar size and layout to the one that you are going to put it in. Surround sound speakers vary based on their surroundings. The same surround sound speakers that will sound great in one environmental will sound terrible in another, so you have to be sure to research it thoroughly.



Virtual Surround Sound Systems – Big Sound Without Big Speakers

Posted by admin in Surround Sound on 02 26th, 2010

The newest must-have for anyone with a TV and stereo these days is a home theater setup. As usual for our got-to-have-the-best society, most people think big when they dream of their ideal home theater. How big? You know, big screen television, big sound from a powerful receiver and amplifier, and really big sound from the speakers spread all over the room.

But, once the dream dissolves into reality, many of us realize that this big setup just will not work in our homes. We might not have the room for all those speakers. After all, 5 speakers and a sub-woofer do take up a considerable amount of space. Or maybe, we just do not want all those cables running around the base boards. Or, we do not want the technical hassles of setting up and balancing such a large system.

Fortunately, those with limited space or minimalist design ideas still have options. The appeal of surround sound can be addressed in a different way. Technology has stepped in and developed what is being called virtual surround sound. Virtual surround sound has been developed to mimic the sound characteristics of a multi-speaker system. Even though it uses fewer speakers and cables, a virtual system approaches the overall sound of a 5.1 or 7.1 amplifier and speaker system. There are two primary varieties of virtual systems, the 2.1 surround system and the digital sound projection system.

The standard placement for the 2.1 speaker system is to place two speakers in front of the listener, along with a sub-woofer placed somewhere inconspicuously in the room. The system will recreate the effect of a larger 5.1 setup that has 5 speakers and the sub. On the other hand, digital sound projectors will use a single strip of relatively small speakers to produce the sound. Most often, the digital sound system will not have a sub-woofer.

In either case, even though the setup is different, the same basic principle exists. The technology behind the system is based on a knowledge of how humans process sound internally. There are certain techniques used to modify the sound waves to fool the human ear into thinking that there are more speakers than what really are present. These techniques come from studies of psycho-acoustics, or the study of the way that people perceive sound. To fully appreciate what technology has done, you need to understand a least a little about psycho-acoustics, as well as physical acoustics (the science of sound).



The Many Brands of Wireless Surround Sound Systems

Posted by admin in Surround Sound on 02 21st, 2010

In the world of audio systems, wireless surround sound systems have all but replaced the traditional, wired hi-fi stereo systems with their mess of tangled wires. The surging popularity of the surround sound system has led to a plethora of many brands in the market. Audiophiles can pick from a variety of brands according to their specific requirements.

For novices in the field or who simply want a good wireless surround sound system and are not too interested in complicated configurations, the HTP-4600 by Pioneer is ideal for them. It is simple, easy to put together and the speakers and terminals are color-coded to facilitate easy usage. The main speakers are slim and sleek while the surround speakers can be detached and made to face any angle. The sound quality of the system is very good, given its price and it is a hassle-free system for beginners.

Amongst many brands in the market, Philips, too, has jumped on to the bandwagon of surround sound systems and offers a “home theater in a box” system with its LX3750W. With its slim speakers, it certainly makes for an attractive-looking sound system and is also simple to put up.

This particular wireless surround sound system offers impressive bass as well as treble sounds but the midrange sounds tend to get blurred. This mainly happens when the volume is turned up because the speakers do not have the strength expected from such a system. However, a DVD player is also integrated in the system and for most users the Philips LX3750W is good enough for their home.

Samsung has integrated the latest Bluetooth technology in its HT-DB390 model. It is a wireless 5.1 channel system and incorporates a 100 watt subwoofer. This system can play many formats like the DVD, MP3, WMA and JPEG discs. For movie lovers, especially those who indulge in movie marathons, Samsung’s HT-DS690 is a high-end wireless system in which even the rear speakers are wireless, other than the power outlet. A 5-disc DVD changer ensures that the movie marathon runs smoothly.

Sony is another of the many brands which offers a sophisticated wireless surround sound system. It uses digital infrared technology which allows sound to be transmitted to the two rear speakers with astounding clarity. The models from the DAV series from Sony look ultra-modern and sleek with silver colored, narrow prisms serving as speakers. DVD/CD players are included in many of their models from the DAV series.

The HTB-S610 from the Kenwood stable uses radio technology to send out 5.1 channel surround sound to its many speakers. The rear speakers can be placed 100 feet away from the receiver yet the transmission is impressive. With so many brands on the market the buyer is definitely spoilt for choice.



Home Theater Setup (Surround Sound Speaker Setup)

Posted by admin in Surround Sound on 02 20th, 2010

I will make the assumption that you have a surround sound or home theater receiver and start from there. There are 3 main home theater speaker setups which you will see termed 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 channel surround. You will also see mentioned the terms Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic. Let’s dispense with the latter first: if your receiver is only Pro Logic (only older receivers at this point) you do not need to worry about 6.1 or 7.1 surround. There are some other formats such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro-logic IIx, Dolby TrueHD, DTS neo:6.1, DTS-ES, True-Surround XT, and undoubtedly more.

The two factors to consider are:

1. how many channels does your system permit, and

2. Do you want to buy that many speakers?

All the receivers that support more than 5.1 channels will also work fine with a 5.1 channel setup. Obviously, 7.1 will provide better surround sound than 5.1, but at the expense of two extra speakers. If you have a limited budget you will have to decide whether to buy 5.1 higher quality speakers, or go for cheaper speakers to allow for 7.1 channels. By the way, the .1 channel is the home theater sub-woofer. The sub-woofer is, in my opinion, really needed for home theater. A system will work without it, but I don’t recommend going without for home theater. The center channel is also very important for home theater, serving to anchor the sound to the video screen. If you go to our site by the link at the bottom of this article you can see images for the descriptions following. These are the recommended placements according to Dolby Labs.

5.1 surround system:

A). Center speaker centered on video source

B). Sub-woofer(s) in arc with the main L & R speakers between speakers and video source

C). L & R front on a 22-30 degree angle from the sitting, on an equidistant arc connecting the center channel and subs

D). L & R surround equidistant and on a 90-110 degree angle from the sitting position

6.1 surround system:

A). Center speaker centered on video source

B). Sub-woofer(s) in arc with the main L & R speakers between speakers and video source

C). L & R front on a 22-30 degree angle from the sitting, on an equidistant arc connecting the center channel and subs

D). L & R surround equidistant and on a 90-110 degree angle from the sitting position

E). Rear center 180 degrees (directly behind) the sitting position

7.1 surround system:

A). Center speaker centered on video source

B). Sub-woofer(s) in arc with the main L & R speakers between speakers and video source

C). L & R front on a 22-30 degree angle from the sitting, on an equidistant arc connecting the center channel and subs

D). L & R surround equidistant and on a 90-110 degree angle from the sitting position

E). L & R rear equidistant and on a 135-150 degree angle from the listening position.

Sub-woofer Setup

Your sub-woofer may have a switch for Dolby Digital / Pro Logic. If you have a Dolby Digital capable receiver set it to that even if you are using Pro Logic. The same goes if you have multiple inputs on your sub. If your input is labeled LFE it is the equivalent of a Dolby Digital input. You want to use the input to the RCA style plug (or plugs) if you are using the sub-woofer in a surround system.

If you have speaker level binding post inputs, these are almost always for using the sub-woofer in a non surround sound speaker setup. Preset the sub-woofer level control to about halfway before running the white noise test tone to calibrate your receiver speaker levels. You absolutely must run the test and balance your speaker levels to have the surround system perform properly.

Don’t worry about the crossover frequency control on the sub for Dolby Digital or better systems. For Pro Logic set it to the point where bass in your main speakers drops off, which will require looking at the documentation for your speakers.

If you are not using your sub in a surround system, you may, with advantage, use the speaker level inputs on the back of your sub. The advantage to this is if you have small speakers. The receiver left and right channels are connected directly to the sub-woofer, and the left and right speakers connect to the speaker out connectors on the sub-woofer. What this does is allow the sub to produce the low bass that the main speakers can not, which of course the other types of connections would do also. The advantage here is the fact that with the sub-woofer connected this way, it filters the bass out of the signal, so your main speakers never try to produce the bass that they can’t handle. This results in clearer, cleaner sound and more volume capability from your main speakers.

Sub-woofer placement is generally as below for other speakers. It is true that bass is omnidirectional and so you should be able to place a sub-woofer anywhere, but as usual this depends on your situation. I play music loud, and can detect where the sub-woofer is located by the feel of the vibrations. I find it very distracting to have the bass seem to come from the front of the room, but the vibrations of the bass coming from another direction. I therefore always prefer a sub-woofer to the front of the room.

How to get the most out of your speakers (How to improve your sound quality for no extra money )

The first consideration with a new speaker system is placement, and the second is wiring, both of which deserve consideration. We will cover wiring first with some generalities that apply to all kinds of speakers. The placement part will cover in home speakers only.

Wiring your speakers

First and foremost, wire selection can be very important. If your speakers are to be installed in-wall, you will need speaker cable rated cl3 or equivalent. If outdoor speakers, you should try to use what is termed direct burial cable or equivalent. Next, if you care about the sound quality at all, 22 gauge cable is not recommended. It can be used for very short runs, and is smaller for hiding, but due to resistance you will sacrifice some sound quality. I would recommend 16 gauge wire for most runs, unless you really want to get the best out of your speakers, in which case use 12 gauge or larger. For a long run I would recommend larger than 16 gauge. (We have a cable article and distance chart on our site at the link at the bottom.) I personally use a good audio quality 12 gauge cable myself, but you will pay more for cable this large. The advantages are better dynamics, and the amplifier can control your speakers better due to low resistance wire. As always, let the price point of your speakers determine the cable. Don’t put expensive cables on cheap speakers, and vice versa. BTW, don’t try to use romex (house wiring) instead of decent quality audio cable. Really, just say no. For so many reasons.

One common question is if fancy cable makes any difference. I must state here that many persons consider the very subject to be so much snake-oil. I personally believe that I can hear some differences, depending on the quality of the associated system. In other words, any hearable differences in cable will be more noticeable in a system with more resolution. Also consider that many listeners not selling cable claim to hear a difference. Consider any double blind tests carefully. I usually can pick holes in the logic behind most of these tests, and point out factors not considered. One perfect example was an amplifier test (by a major audio magazine) that level matched the amps, did a double blind test, and asserted the amps sounded identical, so they recommended that everyone buy the cheaper amp.

Here’s the rub: Under their exact conditions, which are not normal listening conditions, the amps sounded the same. Consider this unmentioned idea: The cheaper amp had less power output than the other, and under normal listening conditions, say with loud rock music, and inefficient or difficult to drive speakers would have pooped out before reaching satisfying listening levels, not to mention clipping and distorting from over-driving the amp. One problem with the double blind tests is, in order to be accurate, they have to control every factor in the universe that could affect the results, even unknown factors. The other is, in order to compare everything on an even playing field, they purposely diminish or nullify the differences, then triumphantly proclaim they are all the same. The perfect example from above is level matching at a volume level that does not stress the more easily stressed amp.

Polarity or Phasing of your speakers is very important. This means finding the wire with a stripe or writing on one side, and connecting that wire to either the + (red) or -(black) on the amplifier and the speaker. It does not matter whether the stripe on the wire connects to plus or minus, as long as it is the same at both ends, and on all speakers. I always connect the plus to the stripe, just to be consistent. If you get this wrong you will lose almost all your bass response, and voices will float around instead of being centered when they should be.

Home Speaker Placement

Ideal placement for best sound is going to vary with the type of speakers you have, but we can supply some good generalities. Obviously, for a surround system, you have some built in limitations. The center channel needs to go above or below center of your television, (or perhaps centered behind a projection screen) and the left and right front need to go to the left and right front. So on for the rest of the speakers. It should be added at this point that for surround sound placement the ideal is all 3 front speakers an equal distance from the listener. This actually places the front speakers on an arc. It is generally good to put rear surrounds a little higher than ear level so that all listeners get a better chance to hear all the speakers. Leaving aside the obvious details of surround sound, here is how to improve the sound of your system for free.

First, don’t put anything in front of your speakers, and if they are placed in a cabinet make sure that the front of the speaker is even with the front of the cabinet. Also, keep in mind that some speakers such as the rear ported variety perform very poorly in cabinets. Make sure speaker ports, which may be in the front, rear, side or elsewhere, are not blocked. This goes for sub-woofers also. Stability is also important, your speakers need to remain stable at high volume levels. If they move with loud drum beats, your system will be robbed of punch and impact. If you use speaker stands make sure they are stable enough for the size of speakers you have. One quick tip is to use some blu-tack or mortite putty between the speaker and stand to improve the coupling and add stability. Spikes on the bottoms of the stands work well for carpeted rooms.

Next, check out the sound of your speakers. Many speakers sound better when aimed directly at the listener, and located at ear height. This is not always the case, however. If the treble or voices sound a little too sharp, then perhaps the speakers will sound better aimed straight out instead of at the listener. Listen to the bass. Is it boomy, or lacking? If your speakers sound a little boomy, like they are in a barrel, bass response can probably be improved by moving your speakers farther from a wall or corner. If your speakers are too light in bass, they may sound better closer to a wall. Remember not to block any bass ports. If the speaker is rear ported it needs a little space out from the wall and clearance on the sides of the speaker to perform properly. One little tweak you might try: some speakers sound better with the speaker grills off. Try removing them and see if they sound better. In many cases there will be no noticeable difference, but it costs nothing to try.

Other issues: If your speakers are correctly phased as described above but voices are not sharply locked in location you may have your speakers too far apart. This generally applies to stereo, not surround sound. If not used on a surround system, the sub-woofer crossover point should be adjusted to coincide with the drop off in bass from your main speakers. You may find this listed in your documentation, usually on the order of the -3db point. If after all this your speakers don’t seem to perform like they should, you should consider whether the amplifier attached to them is up to the task of driving them. There are more issues here than power, especially impedance. An amplifier that has high wattage may drive 8 ohm speakers well, and do very poorly on 4 ohm speakers if the amplifier is not designed for “high current” or rated into 4 ohm speakers. In addition, many amplifier (or receiver, home theater amplifier, etc) manufacturers use various methods to exaggerate the wattage ratings on their amplifiers. The true rating to look for is called the RMS rating, and should be rated into a specific impedance (4 ohm, 8 ohm) etc and at a specific distortion rating.

Setting up a Surround Sound Audio System For Your Car

Posted by admin in Surround Sound on 01 27th, 2010

For decades now, car people have always pushed their car stereos to the limit in order to produce the best sound possible. Our grandparents’ cars with their bulky and static-filled AM radios gave way to the FM broadcasts and cassette tape playing stereo’s of our parents. Now, car manufacturers are going digital with the use of not only CD players but satellite radio with MP3 playing compatibility.

The latest and hottest growing trend in car audio now is the idea of surround sound speaker systems. The thought behind it is to have all the speakers in your car set up exactly like that surround sound audio system you have in your living room. There is a reason why everyone wants one in their car. It simply sounds incredible. Here is how you can go about bringing that movie theater sound experience into your daily ride to work.

One of the first goals to check off your list is find a stereo head unit which allows you to wire in a surround-sound processor. Since the processor will be digital, your head unit needs to supply a digital signal. You will also need fiber-optic cables. They are used to transmit digital signals between the components. If you previously purchased a nice head unit but it cannot supply digital signals, get a CD changer with fiber-optic connection. Connect the processor to the CD changer but remember that unit you will not get a surround-sound effect, if you play a CD. You can always select a surround-sound processor that converts RCA signals to digital. Make sure your car is equipped with a high-end CD changer and/or DVD unit that plays the software that carries the surround-sound signals. You should install a five-channel amplifier that can provide power for the front speakers, the rear speakers, and the subwoofers. Each corner of the car plus the subwoofers will be separate channels. The center channel should have a 4- to 6-inch midrange speaker and a tweeter. This type of combination should be in its own enclosure and placed in the center portion of the car’s dashboard. You now need to install an amplifier to run the center-channel speakers. You can get away with a two-channel amplifier played bridged mono but have it contain an electronic crossover which can be outboard, or built in to the amplifiers. You are now set to begin installing the speakers which will be in all four corners of the car. Some of the newer cars already have speaker locations work perfectly surround-sound setting. Older cars are a different story and will require a touch of imagination and some work. You’ll need to add a tweeter high on the pillar at shoulder height, while a midrange speaker is used in the factory-made opening in the door. Now that all of your speakers are in place, set the electronic crossover for the center channel. Don’t play it at full range but opt instead for about 80 Hz and up for optimal sound quality. Once everything has been installed, adjust the system to find the perfect fit of sound quality and volume for you. Play around with the amplifier gains and then the surround sound processor for any type of tweaks you may need.

Choosing Surround Sound Speakers

Posted by admin in Surround Sound on 12 31st, 2009

There are many possibilities when it comes to upgrading your entertainment system. Today I’m going to discuss a few of your options when it comes to different sound systems. The kind of sound system that you can get depends mainly on your budget and the size of your living room (or wherever your entertainment system will be located). Sure we would all love to have the biggest, loudest surround sound speakers out there, but sometimes that’s just not possible.

“Sound Bar” Speakers

This first option is for those with a tight budget or too small a room for surround speakers. It’s called a “sound bar”. A sound bar is a thin rectangular panel that you can place virtually anywhere in your living room. The most ideal location for this kind of speaker would be either right below or above your flat screen, which will require the least amount of wiring and it will fill your room with sound. The only drawback to this kind of speaker is that it can’t produce the low bass frequencies that larger speakers can produce. To solve that problem, you may have to purchase a sub woofer.

Component Surround Sound Systems

This is the way to go if you have a large room that you want to fill with sound. You can use these speakers for movie watching, music listening, and entertaining guests. A lot of newer model surround sound speakers even offer computer network capabilities so you can tap into it with your pc or laptop. These surround sound systems can often break the bank, but there are cheaper and used models out there that may still satisfy your needs.

These systems usually consist of 5-7 speakers. Usually there are 3 speakers up front and 2 in the rear of the room. The 3 in the front consist of 2 “front speakers”, and one channel speaker, which collectively produce the dialogue and special effects sounds in movies. The two in the rear are called surround speakers, which provide the background noise. Depending on how big your front speakers are, you may also want to consider a sub-woofer here too.

There are ways however, to have this great surround sound system even if your living room is small. There are in ceiling speakers and in wall speakers available out there as well. These speakers are usually a little more expensive than traditional speakers, and sometimes require professional installation, but it can be well worth it. In wall and in ceiling speakers can save you a lot of room so you can entertain more people, they also might add a little value to your home depending on the quality of the speakers.

Three speaker systems:

Three speaker systems are another great option if you are looking for a simple way to upgrade your sound system. These three-speaker systems are ideal for small rooms, and they can even be wall mounted for a sleek look. The three speakers consist of 2 small speakers and a sub woofer. The last component that comes with these systems is the control center, which usually consists of a CD/DVD player.

Well I hope explaining these different kinds of sound systems helped you in figuring out what is right for your home. Make sure you go with a good name that has a history in making quality speakers. Also, read up on reviews before you go out and purchase any huge and expensive surround sound speakers that might break on you the next day.
