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.
