High quality columns for a computer. How to choose computer speakers wired and wireless - overview of the best models with description, photos and prices

Buy speakers from a decent manufacturer means to increase the volume of the built-in TV or PC speakers to hear each sound, and not irritate wheezing instead of bass or having high frequencies. The convenience of control and connections will not be superfluous. But manufacturers who produce, now - at least went! What of them is better? The article will help you find out.

The rating includes 10 best companies that create acoustics. Each manufacturer creates speakers that are canceled and look pleasant. Key features of columns of each company, as well as the examples given in this review, will help to find preferred options.

Edifier.

Since the company's creation (1996), it has become a popular manufacturer not only in the domestic market (in China), but also around the world. Though for the house, at least for the car; Although the stereo systems, at least home theaters. In the ranking of the best, this company fell due to high-quality sound and original designer solutions.

What will like:

• Some systems of type 2.0 can attract not only the price, but also excellent sound. For example, the speakers enclosed in the MDF hull give 128 W power. They may well play the role of Studio Inventory Studio Monitors.
• The manufacturer makes excellent acoustics 5.1, which simply cannot leave indifferent kinomans. Systems consist of powerful columns in wooden housings. For example, it has 540 watts of power, of which almost half of which accounts for a subwoofer. Such a set will not only allow you to fully immerse yourself in the plot of the film, but also will help arrange a party - the sound will surely please: Niza can feel skin.
• Of course, the company creates and universal solutions that perfectly complement the PC or laptop, as well as any other gadgets thanks to the built-in bluetooth module. For example, compact stationary with two satellites and sabs are not necessary to post close to the computer: After all, it is connected without wires. Power in 150 watts is enough with your head.

F & D.

Created in 1993, the company is now held in the leader five producers of acoustic systems. It supplies to the market as active acoustics of stationary type and portable multimedia sets. The company, at the factory of which has its own equipment for the production of emitters, casting the elements of the case and the assembly of electronic components, has 18 assembly lines. In addition, she has its own laboratory, where the manufactured columns are tested. This makes it possible to users to taste the fruits of strict quality standards.

Microlab.

The company, founded in 1988, specializes in acoustic systems for computers. However, the company regularly expands the range of products, causing it not only with compact options for laptops, but also by serious acoustic systems of 5.1 format, which will help recreate the surround sound as in the cinema.

Genius.

One of the main advantages of the company is that it never stops in development, every year improving the column that releases. The best features of most options are high-quality housings, excellent sound and low, in comparison with the goods of other brands, cost.

Interesting: Genius was founded in 1985. Under the brand, not only speakers, but also peripherals for computers are available: keyboards, mice, etc.

Why the manufacturer entered 10-ku the best:

• The company makes budget options for televisions, PCs and laptops. A bright representative - 32-watts despite the cost, speakers sound well: due to the fact that the basic elements of the case are made of wood, the sound is almost not distorted.
• Brand acoustic systems are also portable. They have a slight weight and are connected to the sound carriers on bluetooth. Such columns will delight autonomy. For example, with three speakers, which give 15 W, can play playlist for 10 hours in a row. And she also has a nest for a memory card: if the smartphone or tablet discharged, it will not deprive the owner of the speaker of the fun, because the flash drive from the gadget can be rearranged into the column.
• There are compact options that are ideal for small structures. Inexpensive - just that. She has an interesting design and a small power of three watts. However, the sound quality is still an order of magnitude higher than that of most of the speakers integrated into the TV or laptop.

JBL

This firm is a undoubted leader in the market of producers of acoustic systems. Her name has long been synonymous with reference sound. Of course, working from 1946, the company managed to become popular. It produces a variety of models: from portable-type monovariants, to powerful outdoor sets. Whatever the option is chosen - he will delight his master.

Among the variety of models, each wishes can find the best option. The company's assortment has both systems 5.1, and classic stereoacoustics options that can be used both for everyday listening of music and to solve professional tasks. - This is an example. On such speakers, you can listen to music, and movies to talk. And they can be used as studio monitors for preliminary tracking track. These "shelves" will delight with power and detail. For all this it is worth thanks to the Dome Rupor Tweeter High Resolution HDI, high-quality sch and LF emitters, as well as a phase inverter. All design details are securely hidden in a tree. There may be no frequency distortion in this case.

Fans of outdoor activities from the company also have something to offer. One of the bright representatives of wireless acoustic devices has become a monoblock system. Yes, it weighs this "monster" as much as five kilos, but he has 4 dynamics that together give 60 W. And this bluetooth model is able to reproduce the tracks around the clock and not afraid of water.

The needs of movie lovers and especially arrogant Melomanov JBL also takes into account. One of the bright examples confirming this fact is. In the set 5.1, all collected: from powerful branded sound to "space" modern design. 530 W shared power is hidden in MDF Corps, and this is more than enough for an impressive area. Having a private house, with such a system it is quite realistic to arrange in the yard your own "Ibiza".

Logitech

Since 1981, this Swiss firm works on the creation of steep acoustic systems. Do you need available high-quality columns for PCs or laptop, which will serve for a long time? - This is the right choice. Stereo systems, sets 2.1 and full home cinemas - companies always have something to offer. With a wide price range, the sound quality is equally high.

Why firm in the list of the best

The company produces models for different purposes. Fans of a powerful bass, gamers and filmans do not necessarily buy a five-channel option if you want to save. A simple model with decent power is suitable. For example, this indicator is 60 watts. A stereo system with a subwoofer is enclosed in a housing that combines plastic and MDF elements. It sounds perfectly, and the tweeter is not pulled at high volume.

For phewing computers and laptops, the company produces cheap steps without a separate sub, but with a rather surround sound and deep bass. A bright representative of columns of this class is 20-watt. In addition to the classic design and pleasant sound, this system can please compact.

If you need small speakers in the room so that their power even at full volume does not even hurt the feelings of others - then the company has solutions. She produces decent seven watt systems, where a little more than half of the power falls on a subwoofer. This is enough for a decent sound, which will delight the owners of the system and does not grieve neighbors. - just this option.

SVEN.

The brand history began in the 1990s. Since then, the manufacturer clearly grew in a professional plan. This can be noted on the quality of materials, assembly and, of course, in terms of sound quality. Now the company deservedly occupies one of the principal places of rating the best acoustic brands.

What columns do - 3 examples:

1. Compact computer systems of small power. This option is quite useful for a small room or office (to title a presentation in the conference room for 15 people will definitely work). Perhaps one of the most decent representatives of such models is. He has a plastic case, which could be a disadvantage (at high volume it causes rattling) if the power indicator is not optimal for that material - 4 W.

2. For those who cannot listen to music without a deep bass, the company makes kits from two satellites, complemented by subwoofer. Usually such models are compatible with the most different sources of the signal. For example, connects to DVD / MEDIA players, portable devices and PC. Universality Such an option add connectors for USB drives and FL ASH cards. Podcast on the radio can also be heard.

3. Domestic cinemas available in terms of cost - this is also about SVEN. Elegant three-track systems 5.1 have a decent power reserve: the volume of the columns is enough with a head. For example, radiators are issued 125 W. And it is synchronized with the playback source by Bluetooth: pull the wire to the TV does not have to.

Dali.

Danish brand, which formed in 1983, is popular thanks to chic sound. The columns of this company choose sophisticated music lovers, audiophiles and musicians with absolute hearing.

Attractive quality acoustics

Goals - musical realism and sound integrity - the company reached. The product range of the brand is very diverse. The company does and budget models, it can be used to buy top systems Hi-End class. Supply both passive and active stereo systems. The first need an amplifier, secondly - it is built. In any case, the chic sound and stunning detail are guaranteed.

Good example - . These are passive columns to which you can connect a 25-100 W amplifier. This makes it possible not to overpay for ultraplessness if it is not needed. Portable devices of this brand will delight not only compact sizes and unusual appearance, but also "stuffing." For example, a kilogram will "sing" to its owner at least a day. The power supply of the system is also very different - each emitter gives 25 watts.

For many users, the choice of active acoustic systems for the computer is a very difficult task. And it is not surprising, because there are hundreds of similar models of columns on the market, and information can now be learned from numerous sources - from articles on online and offline press, from site manufacturers on the network. True, sometimes there is only a meager description and a list of almost the same for all models of technical characteristics.

Nothing else remains the user how to choose the acoustics suitable for him. We will try to help you in this, explaining what you need to pay attention to first, but what to treat with the fraction of skepticism. We will also try to figure out what sound you can hear from the columns of a particular class.

PC classification by appointment

First of all, you need to decide: for what purposes you need acoustics, and what you are guided by its choice. There are two main directions for the use of computer column:

Criteria when choosing PC acoustics

Consider the three most common circumstances, on the basis of which the choice is carried out:

As you can see, everything is not so unambiguous, as it seems at first glance. If you plunge even deeper and start analyzing the available range of goods and the ability / needs of a specific buyer, then for everyone there will be its best purchase. So advise specific models - unusually difficult. However, we can warn the reader at least from elementary errors when choosing acoustics.

We want to immediately warn you from hasty conclusions when comparing acoustics according to the technical specifications listed on the manufacturer's website or in the product passport. It should be borne in mind that the marketing department will never lose the opportunity to "inform the buyer" and specify the most favorable data. Whatever the numbers you see, do not share and treat them skeptically. For example, in some columns they write: "Power 100 W, distortion of 0.01%". All this is wonderful, but the problem is that the power and distortion was measured separately. Power - at 10%, and distortion - at 1 W. At the same time, such "strange" measurement conditions are certainly described somewhere in the corner with small letters so that with a possible proceeding of the user there was no grounds for complaints.

We also always advise you to listen to the purchase of the column you selected before buying. If there is an opportunity, immediately compare the sound quality with some alternative solution. Moreover, the smaller the temporary gap between these hearing tests, the plausibility and correct will be your conclusions. No commemorative sensations from listening to the acoustic system (like "I listened to a neighbor last week") in the calculation to take categorically impossible. They are not suitable because the perception of sound depends on the psychophysical state of the individual at the moment, plus, the auditory sensations of a person (especially with inappropriate) are very fuzzy and quickly erased from memory.

Now about acoustic systems that include several columns. As you know, among multilone configurations, there are mainly 4.1, 5.1, 6.1-systems. Externally, they differ in a little: 5.1-acoustics, in contrast to 4.1, it has a bundle on one column (the so-called "center"). But in fact, the difference is not only in this. It all depends on which sound card is installed in your computer.

If you use a four-channel audio card with a 5.1-set of acoustics, then the center and subwoofer will not play. If you use a six-channel card with a 4.1 set of acoustics, then you never feel the full six-channel Dolby Digital and DTS formats that I would not write the acoustics manufacturer about your super-dupper of the Virtual Central Channel technology. The reason lies in the absence on 4.1-systems of individual inputs for the center and subwoofer (although the four-channel mode of operation, as well as the stereo, for such cards, be sure to exist and can be easily selected in the settings).

Detailed decoding of some characteristics of acoustics

Power

Under the word power in colloquial speech, many imply "power", "power". Therefore, it is quite natural that buyers bind power with volume: "The more power, the better the speakers will sound louder." However, this widespread opinion is in the root mistaken! Not always a 100 W column will play louder or qualitative to the one that shows the power of "total" in 50 W. The value of the power rather does not speak about the volume, but about the mechanical reliability of acoustics. The same 50 or 100 W - this is not at all the volume of soundcolumn published. The dynamic heads themselves have a low efficiency and convert only 2-3% of the power supply of the electrical signal to sound oscillations (fortunately, the volume of the sound published is enough to create sound support). The value indicated by the manufacturer in the passport of the dynamics or the system as a whole, only says that when taking the signal of the specified power, the dynamic head or an acoustic system will not fail (due to critical warming up and intersensional KZ wire, "snacking" frame of the coil, diffuser bursting , damage to flexible suspensions of the system, etc.).

Thus, the power of the speaker system is a technical parameter, the value of which is not directly related to the volume of the sound of acoustics, although it is associated with some dependence. The nominal values \u200b\u200bof the power of dynamic heads, an amplifying path, an acoustic system can be different. They are indicated rather for orientation and optimal interface between components. For example, the amplifier significantly smaller or significantly greater power can derive a column in the maximum positions of the volume control on both amplifiers: on the first - due to a high level of distortion, on the second, due to the abnormal operating mode of the column.

Power can be measured in various ways and in various test conditions. There are generally accepted standards of these measurements. Consider in more detail some of them are most frequently used in the characteristics of products of Western firms:

RMS. (Root Mean Squared - Rivalry value). Power is measured by supplying a sinusoidal signal with a frequency of 1000 Hz to achieve a certain level of nonlinear distortion. Usually in the passport on the product is written as follows: 15 W (RMS). This value suggests that the speaker system when summing up a 15 W signal to it can work for a long time without mechanical damage to dynamic heads. For multimedia acoustics, the power values \u200b\u200bin W (RMS) are overpriced compared to Hi-Fi columns due to measurement at very high harmonic distortions, often up to 10%. With such distortions, listen to sound accompaniment is almost impossible due to strong wheezes and the pride in the dynamic head and the column body.

Pmpo. (Peak Music Power Output - Peak Music Power). In this case, the power is measured by the supply of a short-term sinusoidal signal with a duration of less than 1 second and a frequency below 250 Hz (usually 100 Hz). It does not take into account the level of nonlinear distortion. For example, the power of the column is 500 W (PMPO). This fact suggests that the acoustic system after playing a short-term low frequency signal did not have mechanical damage to the dynamic heads. The people of WT power units (PMPO) are called "Chinese watts" due to the fact that thousands of watts are achieved with such a measurement method. Imagine - the active columns for the computer are consumed from the AC power supply 10 V * A and develop the peak musical power of 1500 W (PMPO).

Along with Western, Soviet standards for various types of power also exist. They are governed by this day GOST 16122-87 and GOST 23262-88. These standards define concepts such as nominal, maximum noise, maximum sinusoidal, maximum long-term, maximum short-term power. Some of them are indicated in the passport for Soviet (and post-Soviet) equipment. In world practice, these standards are naturally not used, so we will not stop at them.

We draw conclusions: the most important in practice is the value of the power specified in W (RMS) with the values \u200b\u200bof the harmonic coefficient (THD), equal to 1% and less. However, a comparison of products even on this indicator is very approximately and may not have anything to do with reality, because the volume of sound is characterized by sound pressure level. Therefore, informativeness of the indicator "Power of an acoustic system" - zero.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity is one of the parameters specified by the manufacturer in the characteristics of the acoustic systems. The value characterizes the intensity of sound pressure developed by the column at a distance of 1 meter when the signal is supplied with a frequency of 1000 Hz and a capacity of 1 W. The sensitivity in decibels (dB) is measured relative to the hearing threshold (zero sound pressure level is 2 * 10 ^ -5 PA). Sometimes the designation of the characteristic sensitivity level is used (SPL, Sound Pressure Level). At the same time, for brevity in a graph with units of measurements, dB / W * m or dB / W ^ 1/2 * m is specified. It is important to understand that the sensitivity is not a linear ratio of proportionality between the level of sound pressure, the signal power and the distance to the source. Many firms indicate the characteristics of the sensitivity of the dynamic heads, measured under non-standard conditions.

Sensitivity - characteristic, more important in designing your own speakers. If you do not realize to the end, which means this parameter, then when selecting multimedia acoustics for PC, you can not pay special attention to the sensitivity (it is not often indicated).

Ahh (Frequency Responce)

Amplitude-frequency characteristic (ACH) In general, it is a graph showing the difference in the magnitudes of the amplitude of the output and input signals in the entire range of reproducible frequencies. Ahh is measured by supplying an electrical sinusoidal signal of the unchanged amplitude when its frequency changes. And at the point on the chart, where the frequency is 1000 Hz, it is customary to postpone the level 0 dB on the vertical axis. The option is ideal in which the ACH is represented by a straight line, but there simply does not happen in reality in reality in reality. When considering the schedule, you need to pay special attention to the amount of unevenness. The greater the amount of unevenness, the greater the frequency distortion of the voice in the sound.

Western manufacturers prefer the term Fr. (Frequency Response) - the range of reproducible frequencies, which is a "refillament" of information from the frequency: indicate only boundary frequencies and non-uniformity. Suppose it is written: 50 Hz - 16 kHz Ahh (± 3 dB). This means that this speaker system in the range of 50 Hz is 16 kHz, the sound is reliable, and below 50 Hz and above 15 kHz, unevenness increases sharply, the frequency response has the so-called "challenge" (sharp decline characteristics).

What threatens it? Reducing the level of low frequencies implies loss of juits, the saturation of the sound of bass. The rise in the field of the LF causes the feelings of the bubble and the gudeva column. In high frequencies, the sound will be dim, unclear. Rifting RF mean the presence of annoying, unpleasant hissing and whistling pride. The multimedia speakers are the magnitude of the non-uniformity frequency response is usually higher than that of the so-called Hi-Fi acoustics. To all advertising statements by manufacturers on ACH columns of type 20-20000 Hz (theoretical limit of the possibility) must be referred to a fair fraction of skepticism. It often does not indicate the unevenness of Ahh, which can be unthinkable magnitudes.

Since the manufacturers of multimedia acoustics often "forget" indicate the unevenness of the ACH acoustic system, meeting with the characteristic of the column of 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz, it is necessary to keep the Ear East. There is a high probability to buy a thing that does not even provide a more or less uniform characteristic in the frequency band 100 Hz - 10,000 Hz. Compare the same range of reproducible frequencies with different unevenness can not be at all.

Nonlinear distortion, harmonic coefficient (THD)

The THD abbreviation is literally deciphered as total harmonic distortion (Total Harmonic Distortion), but means a completely defined term - the harmonic coefficient. The acoustic system is a complex electro-acoustic device that has a non-linear gain characteristic. Therefore, the signal after the entire sound path at the output will necessarily have nonlinear distortion. Some of the most obvious and most simple in dimension are harmonic distortion.

The columns largely depends on the power of the signal supplied to them. Therefore, it is foolish to make correspondence conclusions or to compare columns only on THD, without resorting to listening to the equipment (although even the most authoritative editions sometimes go to such a light path). In addition, for the working positions of the volume controller (usually 30 ... 50%) The value of THD manufacturers are not specified.

Electrical resistance, impedance (impedans)

The electrodynamic head has a certain constant current resistance, depending on the thickness, length and material of the wire in the coil (such resistance is also called resistive or reactive). When the music signal is filled, which is an alternating current, the head resistance will vary depending on the frequency of the signal.

Impedance (impedans) is a complete electrical resistance to the variable current, measured at a frequency of 1000 Hz. Usually impedans acoustic systems are 4, 6 or 8 ohms.

In general, the amount of complete electrical resistance (impedans) of an acoustic system is about anything related to the quality of the sound of a particular product, the buyer will not say. The manufacturer indicates this parameter only to ensure that the resistance is taken into account when connecting the speaker system to the amplifier. If the resistance value of the column is lower than that of the amplifier, nonlinear distortions will be present in the sound; If higher, then the sound will be much quieter than with equal resistance.

Case column, acoustic design

One of the important factors affecting the sound of an acoustic system is acoustic design. When designing acoustic systems, the manufacturer usually encounters a problem in choosing acoustic design. They are already more than a dozen species.

Acoustic design is divided into acoustically unloaded and acoustically loaded. The first implies the design at which the oscillation of the diffuser is limited only to the rigidity of the suspension. In the second, the oscillation of the diffuser is limited in addition to the stiffness of the suspension by the elasticity of air and the acoustic resistance to radiation. Also, acoustic design is divided into single and double systems. The single action system is characterized by the excitation of the sound going to the listener, by means of only one side of the diffuser (the radiation of the other side is neutralized with acoustic design). Double-acting system implies use in the formation of sound of both surfaces of the diffuser.

The laptop for each modern person is an absolutely indispensable device. Unfortunately, many users do not suit the technical characteristics of sound quality, as most of these devices are equipped with a rather weak speaker. Because of this, especially in the case of domestic operating, the process of listening to music and watching movies becomes difficult. Therefore, the issue of acquiring new columns for this device is necessary for the implementation of its full operation. Unfortunately, due to a large range of various models, manufacturers and price positions, many are lost in choosing and cannot pick up a high-quality accessory for their computer. We will tell you how to choose a speaker for a laptop correctly so that you are satisfied not only with a new acquisition, but also the quality of the radiated sound.

Types of columns for a laptop

The speakers intended for a laptop differ significantly from those equipped with home theaters and music centers. Their main difference lies in dimensions, as accessories that are intended for a laptop are much less. The difference also manifests itself as a sound, as it is much worse than in the acoustic systems of a higher class.

Columns for working with a laptop are two species:

• Passive. Most often, they are presented in the form of one speaker, respectively - the sound quality wants to be the best. The main advantage of such columns is a fairly low pricing position.
• Active. They are equipped with several emitters at once, which are built into amplifiers and frequency filters, which makes it possible to adjust individual frequencies. Their main advantage is the availability of a wide range of reproducible frequencies, as well as the presence of volume controls, balance and equalizer.

Important! It is not necessary to acquire an expensive speaker system, since the sound card built into the motherboard will not provide you with the perfect sound quality.

Types of acoustic systems

In order to understand which speakers for a laptop it is better to choose, first to determine the technical parameters and the package that you need. Depending on the operating and destination conditions, the columns can be divided into the following types of acoustic systems.

Portable speakers

These are devices that are intended exclusively for listening on laptops or tablets. They have small dimensions and are equipped with one speaker. Connection to the device occurs directly via USB.

System 2.0.

This is a fairly budget version that is widely used in offices and home conditions. This system consists of two columns. They possess low technical characteristics and sound quality, so suitable exclusively for:

• Communication in videosphates;
• Listening to music in the background;
• Viewing various content on the Internet;
• Play system sounds.

Important! Stereocolines 2.0 or 2.1 allow you to reproduce the sound of average quality due to the presence in their configuration of the subwoofer. Therefore, they can be used to view various films and listening to audio tracks.

System 5.0.

These columns are an ideal option for playmen who are focused in the game due to high-quality sound. This is achieved by the presence of a multichannel system that emits the surround sound as a Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Pro Logic. The package of this speaker system includes one central, two rear and front speakers, as well as a subwoofer.

Important! Acoustic systems 4.0 and 4.1 are budget analogues 5.0, which are ideal for home use.

System 7.1 and 7.2

Such acoustics is a more advanced version of the system 5.1. Their difference lies in the fact that two additional rear speakers are added to the system 7.1, and a subwoofer is also added to the second option. Such equipment emits in a wide frequency range a beep, which further reveals the capabilities of technologies such as Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS Surround EX.

Important! The goods market provided a huge assortment of headphones, care for yourself the appropriate option by clicking on the link.

Choose good speakers for laptop in size

When choosing an acoustics for a laptop it is very important to take into account the fact that there is a close relationship between the size of the columns and the quality of the radiated sound, since the greater the column, the better the sound.

Important! When purchasing an acoustic system for a laptop should not be chased by dimensions, as the columns should be freely posted on the working area and is easy to transport. In addition, the huge advantage of portable acoustics is the presence of a protective metal grid.

Therefore, it is best to be guided by the budget that you have to purchase these devices and their target destination. You can even use the cheapest columns that connect to the stationary PC.

Important! Basically, the nutrition of the speakers comes from the network, although sometimes there are options and a USB connection. There is also a variety of columns that work from the built-in battery, whose charge is enough for continuous operation of about 12 hours.

Select the columns on the case material

The material from which the acoustic systems is made not only on their aesthetic appearance, but also on the quality of the radiated sound. To date, you can meet the following column options:

• Plastic. This is a fairly budget option. Such columns are characteristic of small sizes and a variety of forms. They are not able to reproduce bass sounds, as well as characterized by rattling in the case of increasing the volume above the average level.
• Wooden. Such columns are perfectly coped with the transmission of high-quality sound, therefore are favorite devices for "gourmets" and lovers of music. Their only drawback is in fairly high cost.
• Chipboard. In fact, they can be called a golden middle between plastic and wooden options. They have small dimensions, pretty good sound and lack of rattling.

Important! Wooden models should not be purchased for home use, but plastic and chipboard will become an excellent option for these purposes. In addition, negligent sellers in order to sell, you can sell you instead of a device with a wooden hull acoustics with a chipboard.

Choose the best power laptop speakers

Initially, it is necessary to dispel the myth that power affects the quality of the sound. This parameter, in fact, is responsible for the mechanical reliability of the system you choose - the higher the power, the more reliable acoustics. Most often in the technical description by the manufacturer indicates the total power of all columns included in the acoustic system. Basically you can meet the following options:

• RMS. This is the standard rated power with which the columns are constantly working.
• PMPO is the maximum power of the column that is turned on for a short period of time.

Important! Sometimes to attract customers, the manufacturer in specifications indicates the PMPO value. Unfortunately, it is in little informative and is not a weighty argument to purchase this acoustic system.

The actual power of the columns is determined exclusively by the RMS value.

Important! The minimum recommended indicator for each element of the acoustic system is 4-6 W. This power is enough for a full listening of music and even carrying out various presentations. As for more comfortable work with audio and video files, it is better to watch the device with a capacity of 14-15 W.

If only the PMPO value is specified on the device, to determine the real power it is necessary to divide the number 10. Thus, you will get a more or less adequate indicator.

Additional functionality

Sometimes acoustic systems are able to work autonomously or as full-fledged media centers. They can include a USB connector with the ability to connect a flash drive to it, as well as memory cards that will allow you to play music without prior connection to a laptop. There are also models that are additionally equipped with an informative display and alarm clock, which makes them much more functional.

Important! There are small speakers for a laptop with a good sound that are equipped with Bluetooth. This allows wireless sound transmission from a computer or smartphone to acoustics.

Guarantee

This is one of the main indicators to pay for your attention when buying a laptop column:

• As a rule, a high-quality speaker system is very rare, and its warranty period is 1-2 years.
• As for inexpensive and budget options, they very rarely live without breakage more than one year, respectively - their warranty period is 3-6 months.

Important! Try to acquire models that have a warranty period for at least one year.

Manufacturers

Choosing a speaker for a laptop, first of all, give up unknown Chinese manufacturers, as well as little-known brands of other countries. Such models have a low price range, respectively - the quality of the sound at the same level.

Important! As for the quality of the assembly, it is "lame" due to the use of cheap materials. This version of the columns is suitable exclusively for the undemanding buyer.

With regard to more reliable and high-quality devices, today the audio engineering market presents the following manufacturers who manufacture high-quality acoustics as a budget price range and pretty expensive models:

• Bose, Yamaha, Bowers & Wilkins. Trading brand data devices have high technical indicators, respectively - their price is high.
• Microlab, Edifier, Logitech, F & D, Jabra, Creative, Philips. Such devices are in the average price segment, however, they have proven themselves from the best side of the technical indicators and the quality of the radiated sound.
• Sven, Defender, Genius, A4Tech. These are rather budget trademarks, respectively, choose such devices followed by carefully familiarization with all technical indicators.

We hope that our article will help you choose a laptop speakers with all your requirements and wishes, because correctly selected acoustics can turn a simple laptop in a comfortable device for listening to music and watching movies, as well as creating your own unique works.

Any computer is difficult to imagine without acoustics, because it is the speakers that reproduce the sound from the PC. Today, the market has a large variety of models of acoustic systems. So that you can choose a really good speakers for a computer, learn our today's rating.
