Multimedia speakers 2.0: review, description, specifications, models and reviews

Music accompanies us almost everywhere: at home, on vacation, at work and on the road. Headphones - this, of course, a good thing, but in the home environment from them not so much good, as we would like. The best choice in this case is the column.

On how to choose the right speaker system and what models are worth paying attention to, we'll talk about this article. The most popular segment of devices will be considered - acoustics (Volume) 2.0.

Criterias of choice

Choosing an acoustic system - it's not as simple as it seems at first glance. The entire music segment is based on shaky assessments from versatile professionals and subjectivism, so the choice must be approached in a comprehensive manner, that is, take into account all the components of the future purchase.

For example, a multi-level system with a huge subwoofer looks great in the shop window, while in the room it will occupy the lion's share of space, so buying such columns is devoid of any meaning. In order to avoid this kind of problems, let's designate for the beginning the basic points that must be taken into account before paying their cash to the cashier.

System Type

First of all, you need to decide on the type of acoustics. As already mentioned above, the best option for home will be acoustics 2.0, that is, a system with the same stereo speakers. Sometimes there are multicomponent systems with a subwoofer with a different number of satellites. If the latter has more than one piece, then this is acoustics 2.1.

Home multichannel cinemas with five or more speakers refer to 5.1 systems. There is already a complete construction and immersion in the scene with a clear positioning of sources (front, rear, center). The price of such pleasure is far from small, and such a system takes up a lot of space, so we will not consider it. In our case, multimedia speaker 2.0 has more advantages.

frequency range

Regardless of the type of speaker system, the frequency range is the main characteristic of the speakers. It is he who determines its original property, that is, the ability to reproduce sound. The wider this range, the better the final musical picture will be formed. Acoustics 2.0 has always been distinguished by the presence of certain problems with the lower boundary, because the dimensions of the speakers should be clearly and competently comparable to the wavelength. In other words, the columns should be large.

Any self-respecting brand, along with a standard bundle, applies to its acoustic systems a bench-top check of the columns in the form of AFC charts, where it is easy to trace the basic capabilities of the device.

Power

Along with the frequency range, the power indicates, to the least extent, the capabilities of the system. Acoustics 2.0 is no exception, but because the higher the power factor, the louder the sound will be. But there are some nuances in this paragraph.

In total, you can count about a dozen of the basic methods for measuring power and about the same number of standards. It also happens that a 10-watt portable speaker 2.0 can sound louder than a multimedia one with a hundred watts. Therefore, it is better to treat with great distrust such power indicators and, at the time of choice, to link them to real physical characteristics.

Materials

Almost all music lovers consider the tree the best material for acoustic systems. And indeed it is. In the elite segment, even there are constant battles on the theme of the tree. Nevertheless, the best computer acoustics 2.0 is manufactured without using this expensive material. Optimum option in this case is a wood-fiber board, that is MDF. The material has a sufficient thickness and, most importantly, a balanced stiffness.

If the thickness is clear - the higher, the better, then with the rigidity of things are not so unambiguous. The parameter varies from crumbly to extremely stubborn. In the first case, inexpensive chipboard is used, which is present in budget models, and in other cases - high-quality and expensive material. Of course, on the show-window it is possible to check this indicator only on subjective sensations (tapping, correlation of volume with weight, etc.), so it remains to rely on the authority of the brand.

Plastic is considered a cheaper option for the design of acoustics, but quite a few venerable companies prefer it. The possibilities of designers in this case are not limited by anything, because plastic is the most pliable material for the embodiment of any interior fantasies. With the right approach and the right level of performance, the 2.0 acoustics from plastic are not inferior in quality to the models from MDF, especially for small speakers.

Ergonomics

You can get used to catchy color or expressive design, but uncomfortable adjustments and beacons will annoy you every day. The most optimal option in this case - the usual resistive twisters in the classic style. They are not afraid of a battery in the remote control, and they retain the chosen position in any condition.

A more modern version is considered remote wired regulators, although many believe that the buttons are the ideal control. Authoritative brands nevertheless tend to the old, rarity and proven options.

Digital inputs and wireless protocols

Any multimedia system is equipped with one or even several analog inputs. But in order to connect passive acoustics 2.0 to a computer, digital inputs and wireless protocols like the same bluetooth are increasingly used. This is very convenient when it comes to gaming consoles or media players. As for smartphones and tablets, connecting a speaker system using the Bluetooth protocol is a definite plus.

Best Speakers

Below is the floor acoustic 2.0 rating, which includes the most high-quality models and manufacturers. The list was compiled according to the experts of this field and the responses of the ordinary column owners.

List of the best loudspeakers:

• Top Device TDS-505.
• Konoos KNS-D600.
• SVEN SPS-707.

Top Device TDS-505

This brand is difficult to call the leader of the domestic market, especially since the company's products often appear on the shelves in the form of veiled copies, which were filled up all the music stores several years ago.

The model looks like a well-known in the circles of music lovers F & D R223. The latter, while enjoying an enviable demand, but the 505th model is not inferior in terms of its technical data to a dear and high-quality fellow.

Judging by the feedback of the owners, the acoustics from "Top Device" looks a little archaic, but in this attractive price range we get a great sound along with quality performance. Users celebrate pleasant and shallow bass, as well as a smooth middle. If you want to acquire an inexpensive and high-quality acoustic system or decided to give a gift to an unsophisticated music lover, you can more closely consider this option.

Konoos KNS-D600

The brand appeared on domestic shelves about three years ago with a rather aggressive policy. The company's lineup is very extensive, and among the variety is extremely interesting systems. One of the main advantages of the D600 is, of course, the price.

Despite the budget cost, the system is equipped with a full 4-inch speaker with low frequencies and a decent high-frequency radiator with a diffuser made of cloth. At the output, we get quite a good sound - thoroughly processed and pleasant.

Many owners in their responses note the company's competent policy of entering the Russian market - the models hit the budget segment, but the "filling" is characterized by quality and clear technical superiority over competing analogs.

SVEN SPS-707

707th model can be called one of the few successful brand products in recent years. Most of the company's new products look somehow pale, and especially this is noticeable against the backdrop of past developments.

Despite its small size and somewhere even poppy appearance, the system turned out quite decent, and the sound at the output - beautiful, loud and high-quality. Also included is a convenient remote control and interchangeable grids.

On the one hand, it seems that everything is not bad, but on the other hand, the owners in their reviews note the ill-conceived button control. After the power is turned off, all the acoustic settings are reset, and if, for example, you think that you prefer the enhanced timbral balance, each subsequent inclusion will start with adjustments and corrections for yourself, and this is a significant disadvantage.

Nevertheless, the model enjoys an enviable demand, and it's not only a low price, but also a really high-quality sound, which is envied by more expensive analogs.
