How to Choose the Best Computer Speakers

Everyone knows sound plays a very important part in any decent gaming system. With the best computer speakers, you can enjoy amazing sound for a totally immersive gaming experience.

But not all computer speakers are created equally. This article takes a look at the important things to consider when choosing your gaming speakers.

Best Computer Speakers

Surround Sound

Having a surround sound speaker system is a must these days for a great sound experience. 5.1 surround sound is currently the way to go. With 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer placed in different locations around you, it doesn't get much more immersive than 5.1 surround sound. You will feel like you are IN the game.

Amplifier

Sound cards aren't capable of driving speakers, so an amplifier is needed. So choose computer speakers that are self-amplified. The power of the amplifier is measured in Watts per Channel RMS (root mean square). RMS describes the amplitude of a given signal and is a good measure of the amplifier's output.

Another Consideration: THD

Another important specification you should consider when choosing the best speakers is the THD (total harmonic distortion). The lower the THD of the amplifier, the better. Try to stay clear of speakers with a THD of greater than 1-2%.

Conclusion

With a great 5.1 surround sound self-amplified speaker system, you can improve your gaming experience tenfold with amazing sound. I highly recommend getting the Logitech X-540 5.1 Speaker System. Logitech make some of the best audio products in the world, and this speaker system is no exception. The best thing about them besides the quality of sound, is the very affordable price tag.

You should now have some extra knowledge to choose the best gaming speakers for your needs. Keep in mind that having great gaming speakers requires you to also have a decent enough sound card inside of your PC. Check out my guide on how to choose the best sound card for more information on that.

Computer speaker

Computer speakers, or multimedia speakers, are speakers external to a computer, that disable the lower fidelity built-in speaker. They often have a low-power internal amplifier. The standard audio connection is a 3.5 mm (approximately 1/8 inch) stereo jack plug often colour-coded lime green (following the PC 99 standard) for computer sound cards. A plug and socket for a two-wire (signal and ground) coaxial cable that is widely used to connect analog audio and video components. Also called a "phono connector," rows of RCA sockets are found on the backs of stereo amplifier and numerous A/V products. The prong is 1/8" thick by 5/16" long. A few use an RCA connector for input. There are also USB speakers which are powered from the 5 volts at 500 milliamps provided by the USB port, allowing about 2.5 watts of output power.

Computer speakers range widely in quality and in price. The computer speakers typically packaged with computer systems are small, plastic, and have mediocre sound quality. Some computer speakers have equalization features such as bass and treble controls.

The internal amplifiers require an external power source, usually an AC adapter. More sophisticated computer speakers can have a 'subwoofer' unit, to enhance bass output, and these units usually include the power amplifiers both for the bass speaker, and the small 'satellite' speakers.
