The term "sound system" is familiar to just about everyone. These devices are useful on many occasions, from small events such as a family gathering at home to large ones such as a concert. There is a great deal of equipment out there, but a few core audio sound system components are used most often. They are listed below.
Standard Sound System Equipment
- Speaker
A sound system is not complete without speakers. A speaker converts an electrical signal into sound, so an input source such as a human voice or a musical instrument comes out as much louder sound.
There are several types of speakers, and each has a different job. They include the high-frequency speaker for treble tones, the midrange speaker for mid-frequency tones, and the subwoofer, or low speaker, which handles bass and low tones.
- Equalizer
An equalizer in your audio sound system makes the music or voice coming out sound better and more balanced. You have probably seen this term before, because it is a common feature in the music settings of smartphones, computers and DVD players.
The equalizer adjusts tones from low to high to suit your taste. The settings are shown as a graph that you slide until you find the sound that works best. Even so, equalizer settings can vary depending on the type and genre of the music being played.
- Power Amplifier
If your speakers are active speakers, you do not need to buy a power amplifier separately. Active speakers have their own amplifier built in, although you can still add another one if you like. Passive speakers, on the other hand, definitely need a power amplifier.
The power amplifier is the brain of a sound system, and all incoming sound is processed through it. There are many types of amplifiers, covering low to high tones. Outdoor sound systems usually need high power, unlike home amplifiers, many of which run at 2000 watts per PA.
- Audio Mixer
For a more complex audio sound system that has to deliver strong output, an audio mixer is a must. The mixer controls the overall sound and makes every incoming sound more dynamic and pleasant to hear.
Those are the standard core pieces of sound system equipment you need. They work together to create sound that is dynamic and enjoyable to listen to. You can get all of this equipment from Goshen Swara Indonesia, an official distributor of sound system equipment with competitive prices.
