Bookshelf Speaker : What is it?

bookshelfspeakers1

Bookshelf speakers are designed to fit into shelves or stands. They range in size from four to 12 inches, making them ideal for home theaters and entertainment systems with limited space. Most bookshelf speakers are two-way systems, consisting of a tweeter for high-pitched sounds and a mid-range woofer for regular frequencies. An additional subwoofer may be added to enhance their bass capacities.

Kinds of Bookshelf Speakers include the following:

Wired Bookshelf Speakers

  • Wired Bookshelf Speakers are physically connected to the audio source, usually with standard RCA cables.
  • They can only be installed within a limited range, depending on the length of the wires.
  • They usually run on AC power, either directly from a socket or through the audio player.
  • They are less prone to physical interference than wireless speakers.

Wireless Bookshelf Speakers

  • Wireless Bookshelf Speakers use infrared, radio frequency, or Bluetooth technology to connect to the audio source.
  • They are easier to set up and can be used over a wider range than wired speakers.
  • They are usually battery-powered and come with mounts for attaching to tall structures.
  • Some models have adapters that connect them to the source or an AC socket for alternate power supply.

Choosing Bookshelf Speakers (Buying Tips)

Noise filter: Choose a bookshelf speaker with a noise filter to reduce ambient and unwanted noise. This is useful for playing personal videos or sounds that were not filtered during recording. Look for one with pitch correction as well.

Size: Choose a small bookshelf speaker to direct each channel to specific spots and create a more harmonic sound. This is also ideal for separating different elements, such as the bass from the higher notes. If you need bigger speakers for your entertainment system, you can mount them on opposite locations within the room.
