Stereo Component : What is it?

StereoComponents1

Stereo components combine several audio sources into a single system. They consist of a large head unit and two or more speakers. The head unit usually includes a CD player or changer, one or two cassette decks, an AM/FM radio receiver, and a panel containing all the playback controls. The speakers may be placed beside the player or distributed across the room for a surround sound effect. Most modern sets are remote-controlled and support digital audio formats such as mp3 and wma.

Kinds of Stereo Components include the following:

Wired stereo components

  • Wired stereo components are connected with cable wires and powered by AC.
  • They have more consistent reception, but they allow less mobility and can get cluttered.

Wireless stereo components


  • Wireless stereo components use radio frequency or Bluetooth to transmit signals from the player to the speakers.
  • They are ideal for large entertainment rooms using three or more speakers.

Choosing Stereo Components (Buying Tips)

Speakers: Choose a stereo component with 5.1 surround sound speakers or higher to get better sound quality. Make sure all the speakers are voice-matched and properly positioned for a consistent sound.

Supported media: Choose a stereo component that reads from all forms of media, including computer-based ones like flash drives and memory cards. Look for one with an analog-to-digital converter that allows you to play older formats and save radio programs.
