2.0 speaker or 2.1 speaker
The original design of the multimedia speaker is just the sound channel of the left and right boxes, so it is called the 2.0 speaker. Now it is also popularly called the bookshelf speaker. 2.0 Speakers are generally two identical cubes, one of which has a built-in power amplifier circuit as the main speaker, and the other is called the sub speaker. The speakers are generally designed with two frequency dividers. Each speaker has a tweeter and a bass unit.
2.0 speakers are made of exquisite materials and require high workmanship, so their prices are also quite expensive. Generally, a good 2.0 speaker is several hundred yuan more expensive than a 2.1 speaker. It is generally believed that its sound quality exceeds 2.1. In particular, the IF is incomparable to any X.1 speaker.
Installed users prefer 2.1 speakers
With the upgrading of family entertainment, many families have built their own digital cinema systems using their own computer groups. People's demand for multichannel is also increasingly strong, especially in the performance of bass, 2.0 speakers obviously can not meet people's needs.
2.1 The speaker is based on the 2.0 speaker, and the desktop area has been expanded to reduce costs. 2.1 The loudspeaker is usually composed of an independent woofer (commonly known as subwoofer) and two satellite units. A power amplifier circuit is placed in the bass speaker of the general 2.1 speaker at the bottom, and some high-end speakers use a split power amplifier design, which can avoid the electromagnetic interference of the power amplifier circuit on the bass speaker. 2.1 Although the bass of the speaker is excellent, the performance of the midrange is not as good as that of the 2.0 speaker. Therefore, it is suitable for application in movies and games.
This type of speaker is completely different from the 2.0 speaker in its internal structure. Most of the crossover points are below 300Hz. Since the crossover points are within the spectrum of the voice, if you listen closely to the bass unit, you can still hear the voice. For those who don't need sound quality, just playing games without listening to music is also suitable for 2.1 speakers.
Professional enthusiasts still like 2.0 speakers
Although the price of 2.0 sound quality is high, many enthusiasts will still choose 2.0. With the increase of user demand and the market impact of 2.1 speakers, today's high-end 2.0 multimedia speakers have developed to a very high level in terms of technology and product quantity. While the sound quality has been continuously improved, they have become increasingly close to the traditional Hi Fi speakers and even become difficult to distinguish in some high-end products.
