Tips on surround sound speakers

To opt for surround sound speakers that combine with our home cinema, it is advisable to take into account a series of features and tips to achieve the most realistic and immersive sound.

Within the classification of surround loudspeakers we find three types: dipole loudspeakers , bipolar loudspeakers and monopolar loudspeakers . To choose the best effect speakers, we recommend you follow the following tips:

- Keep the rest of the set in mind : getting a realistic and immersive sound from the surround speakers is possible as long as we take into account the other channels with which we are going to design our home theater system. It is important -although not mandatory- that the surround speakers are of the same range as the rest and ensure a similar, homogeneous and balanced sound profile.

- Size of the surround speakers : as a general rule, these types of speakers are more compact than those that make up the front trio, since their enclosure houses slightly smaller components. Ideally, its structure should be full-range or full-range, to accommodate drivers with sufficient size and for the sound transmission to be realistic and truly enveloping.

- How to allocate the budget : the configuration of a home theater system requires attention and also common sense when allocating the budget. Part of the weight of the home cinema will be supported by the front trio, formed by the floorstanding speakers or monitor speakers and the center channel , however, with the surround speakers it is important to find the balance and not neglect their importance, since, otherwise nothing will help to have impressive fronts if the rest of the system does not meet the quality and expectations necessary to obtain a first-rate home theater experience.
