As personal computers started getting affordable in the past decade, a large number of households began replacing their audio systems with computers. The main hurdle in this replacement was that computer speakers were considered to be inferior to their stereo system counterparts. However, in the past few years, this trend is changing audio equipment manufacturers are coming up with excellent computer speaker systems that match up to some of the best audio equipment across any system. Also, with the availability of affordable sound cards, one can be assured of a great sounding system right on your personal computer.
There are a wide range of computer speakers available in India. From high end 7.1 surround sound systems to portable solutions which can be carried in one's pockets, these speakers aid the multimedia aspect of a personal computer by providing quality audio output. For a desktop personal computer, a 2.1 or 5.1 speaker system is recommended, based on the size of the room. These speaker systems have a sub woofer along with 2 and 5 satellite speakers, respectively. The sub woofer provides the system with thumping bass, while the satellite speakers balance the rest of the sound frequencies accordingly.
While the presence of a sub woofer in a computer speaker system is not a guarantee for good sound quality, it ensures the presence of some form of bass which enhances the overall feel of the sound. A personal computer aimed at an optimum listening experience will always have a good sound card, good speaker system and software which can utlise these components to its maximum potential. One must also keep in mind that merely having a 5.1 system does not necessarily guarantee good sound. Most 5.1 systems are perfect for watching movies or playing games due to the surround effect that they provide with, while 2.1 speaker systems should be preferred for listening to music.
Computer speakers are not restricted to large sound systems which occupy a lot of space. Such solutions are not always feasible for laptops and netbooks due to space constraints. Although most laptops come with in-built speakers, these speakers have a low sound output and cannot provide good sound quality for watching movies or listening to music. There are various portable laptop speakers available in the market which take cater to laptop users. These speakers are mostly powered by the USB ports present in laptops and in some cases, they run on external batteries.
