Apply HiFi Fidelity Components In Audio System For Better Sound Performance
An avid music fan needs to have special gear and space to indulge in their passion properly. Certainly, there is the home theatre system but it is not designed especially for enjoying music. In general, a system that is assembled for only playing music will sound better than the one designed for both movie and TV sound.
Let’s assemble a hi-fi stereo music system, which suits your room and lifestyle.
Headphone hi-fi system
Headphones are cheap option to enjoy good sound but to escalate the sound quality, all you need to do is add headphone amplifier. It is a device that delivers strong, clean audio signals to the headphones. Headphone jacks used for iPods and computers provide mediocre sound quality.
Headphone amps deliver better-quality acoustic output circuitry. Many latest models include superior quality DAC (digital to analog convertor) that is connected to the PC via USB. It extracts excellent sonic sounds from the digital music files.
In assembling basic stereo system, you will need 3 main components - 1. 2 channel receiver or amplifier - 2. Pair of speakers 3. Music source/s
In the past, music fans had little choice related to sound quality but had to invest in boxy speakers. Today, you find a lot of options to fit any budget. There is no need for machines, discs, knob-operated preamp or clunky remote control. Track selection, tone and volume can all be done using your tablet or Smartphone.
For a more compact system for charging a small apartment with musical sound, consider powered speakers. Connect it with a digital file or computer or iPod.
DAC
DAC is a device that transforms digital music signals and transports the natural sound to your headphones or speakers. DACs are included in the computers, Smartphone, hi-fi amplifiers and A/V receivers. However, there is growing demand for separate DAC components. The sound quality from separate DAC system is very much better than the ones from low-quality DAC included in your computer or other devices.
High powered speakers
Loud sounds can rapidly deplete an amplifiers power reserve, which can cause flat and uninvolving audios. Models with hi-fi power are specially equipped to tackle these challenges. They reproduce remarkable flow of sound with extra punch and greater volatility than other receivers with the same wattage ratings.
Bookshelf speakers are ideal for small space. They provide accurate stereo imaging and rigid overall sound. However, as they are small the low bass frequencies cannot be produced but adding powered subwoofer can help to reinforce the low bass.
Floor standing speakers are excellent option for large rooms. Wide range of frequencies is reproduced more efficiently than any kind of other speakers. Setting up the stereo system makes a huge difference in sound quality. After selecting the right amplifier and speaker, pay attention to setting up the stereo system. This aspect if not handled properly can break the sound quality.
Speaker placement
Make sure to choose high quality cables to connect the speakers to your amplifier or receiver. Speaker placement is critical for music system because it affects the tonal accuracy, imaging, staging and natural sound reproduction greatly. In addition, you don’t have to invest in experimenting with speaker placements. It is recommended that they must be positioned at your ear height and form a triangle with your listening location.
Audio cables
Make sure to invest in high fidelity components because poorly chosen cables result in subpar audio quality. It does not provide best connectivity and allow interference and noise from source components.
