Ko boste nastavljali domači kino, si boste ogledali sprednje in zadnje zvočnike, ki vam lahko pomagajo doseči visokokakovostno zvočno izkušnjo. S temi zvočniki se boste morda vprašali, ali potrebujete celoten komplet ali lahko delate s tem, kar že imate.

Ni nujno, da se sprednji in zadnji zvočniki ujemajo, vendar najbolje delujejo, če se sprednji in zadnji zvočniki ujemajo drug z drugim, da ustvarite večjo optimizacijo in zmanjšano lokalizacijo. Kadar je mogoče, uporabite ustrezne zvočnike, sicer pa zagotovite podobne izhodne zmogljivosti.

Seveda obstaja veliko gibljivih delov, ki gredo v nastavitev vašega avdio sistema znotraj domačega kina. Če ste novi v avdio svetu, vas čaka avanturistična vožnja, saj je nastavitev zvočnega sistema veliko več kot le priključitev nekaj žic in kosov opreme.

Če veste, ali lahko uporabljate neprimerljive sprednje in zadnje zvočnike, lahko zahtevate nekaj dela. Oglejmo si podrobneje podrobnosti sprednjih in zadnjih zvočnikov v sistemu prostorskega zvoka.

Kakšna je razlika med sprednjimi in zadnjimi zvočniki?

V sistemu prostorskega zvoka ima vsaka komponenta edinstveno vlogo in služi posebnemu namenu v splošnem učinku in kakovosti zvoka, ki ga bo sistem proizvedel.

Ko je en del sistema v okvari, bo zaradi tega trpela kakovost zvoka. Vedeti, kako doseči visokokakovosten zvok, se najprej začne s poznavanjem razlike v komponentah zvočnikov, ki jih boste uporabili v svojem zvočnem sistemu.

Sprednji zvočniki delujejo tako, da optimizirajo zvok v dialogu ter visoke in srednje zvočne frekvence – kar je izjemno pomembno, da lahko jasno slišite vrstice znakov v medijih, ki jih pretakate. Zadnji zvočniki se bolj osredotočajo na zvok srednjih in nizkih frekvenc, ki zapolnjuje vrzeli in ustvarja robustnejši zvok.

Čeprav imate morda različne komponente zvočnikov nastavljene kot sprednje ali zadnje zvočnike, si lahko nastavitev predstavljate, kot da bi bili na koncertu. Spredaj je tam, kjer se dogaja predstava.

Na koncertu bi se skupina nahajala tukaj; v vašem domačem kinu je tukaj nameščen vaš zaslon (torej, kamor bodo vaše oči pritrjene).

Druga možnost je, da bo hrumeči zvok prihajal zadaj, da ustvari izkušnjo prostorskega zvoka. Tukaj boste slišali globok bas in glasbene tone, ki povečajo zvočno izkušnjo, vendar niso neposredno osredotočeni na dialog vašega najljubšega filma (čeprav zadnji zvočniki podpirajo tudi srednje frekvence).

V tej nastavitvi lahko vidite, da dve vrsti zvočnikov služita različnim namenom v celotni nastavitvi zvočnega sistema. Vendar brez enega drugi ne bi mogel ustvariti tolikšnega učinka ali visokokakovostne zvočne izkušnje za poslušalca.

S tem v mislih je pomembno razumeti, kaj vključuje nastavitev sprednjih in zadnjih zvočnikov.

Kako uporabljati sprednje in zadnje zvočnike, ki se ne ujemata

Medtem ko bo uporaba celotnega sistema prostorskega zvoka z ujemajočimi se zvočniki najbolj optimalen način za zagotovitev, da komponente sistema delujejo med seboj, to ni vedno mogoče.

V tem primeru lahko uporabite komplet sprednjih in zadnjih zvočnikov, ki se ne ujemata z drugim, vendar jih bo treba povezati, da bodo imeli podobne izhodne zmogljivosti.

Along with this, you will want to ensure that the front speakers act as a unit and the same for the rear speakers. Otherwise, you run the risk of achieving a low-quality audio experience with audio distortion, the ability to localize the sound (which you are trying to avoid), and more issues that will create a negative overall sound experience.

Still, not everyone wants to start from scratch and build their home theater surround sound system with all brand new components.

Many prefer to use the sets that they already have and run the appropriate connections to make this work. If you plan to use front and rear speakers that do not match (while still having the front as a unit and the rear as its own unit), there are several recommendations you should consider. Ti vključujejo:

Match the Front Speakers as a Set

When using front and rear speakers that do not match, you want to make sure that at least your front speakers match each other and the same for your rear speakers.

Having front speakers that match each other and act as a set is incredibly important for achieving the appropriate (and effective) sound quality from your front left, right, and center audio channels.

The front speakers, as mentioned above, are incredibly important for setting the tone of the audio experience. This is where the clearest dialogue is heard, and it is the most common set of speakers to have as a standalone option if you do not have the money to invest in a true surround sound system.

While the center audio channel works the hardest, arguably, as it creates distinct ranges for dialogue and mid-range and high-frequency audio, the left and right audio channels are important in their role of carrying out the rest of the audio experience.

This includes less reliance on hearing the punchline to a joke on-screen and more for the accompanying sound effects and audio that would come with it.

Using the front speakers as a set and ensuring that they are appropriately connected to a receiver/amp is incredibly important when setting up your home theater surround sound system.

Match the Rear Speakers as a Set

Along with the front speakers needing to act as a set, you need the same for the rear speakers. If you are using front and rear speakers that do not match, your rear speakers need to at least be acting as a cohesive unit (while your front speakers do the same). This includes making sure that the rear speakers work well with each other.

You can either choose to match the rear speakers by establishing the appropriate connections and output capabilities, or you can choose to use products from the same line.

Either way, whether working harder or smarter, you need to make sure that the rear speakers- which carry out the most robust low-frequency ranges (including when using your subwoofer in the back of the room)- are acting as a set.

Use Similar Manufacturers/Product Lines

One way to make sure that the front speakers match each other and the rear speakers are functioning as a cohesive unit is to use similar manufacturers or product lines.

While you can choose to manipulate your system with wired connections to the right pieces of equipment, you can make these connections easier on yourself by choosing products that were designed to work cohesively from the start.

You might find that you prefer one manufacturer and want to use front speakers that come from one product line with rear speakers that come from another. This will work as long as you are able to connect them and run the appropriate crossover to achieve a similar audio output.

You do not have to use front and rear speakers from the same manufacturer/product line, but it will make your job of setting up your home theater sound system much less complex.

Check Output Capabilities

As you manage your front and rear speakers in your sound system, you want to make sure to check the output capabilities from each set.

If you choose to use rear speakers that are far more powerful than the front speakers, for example, you will end up with an overpowering audio experience coming from behind you. To avoid the consequential poor audio experience, use speakers with similar output capabilities from the start.

Run the Appropriate Crossover

Along with using speakers with comparable output capabilities, you can help to achieve this by running the appropriate crossover.

As you establish connections between each speaker in your sound system to the receiver/amp(s) you are using, make sure that you are running the audio at similar outputs. Again, this will help to create a more balanced and high-quality audio.

Decrease Localization

Making sure that the speakers are being run at the same (or similar) output is part of decreasing localization.

Localization of speakers occurs when you are seated in your home theater and can tell exactly which speaker the audio is coming from. This is distracting as you want to process the sound as coming from either the front, rear, sides (equally), or from all around.

To decrease the localization in your sound system, you want to embrace the other suggestions on this list including making sure that the front speakers match one another and the rear speakers do, too.

Along with that, using the appropriate output and speaker placement can help you to decrease localization with unmatching front and rear speakers.

Check Speaker Placement

The speaker placement, along with the audio output of your speakers, is absolutely imperative to your overall sound quality.

If you are using unmatching front and rear speakers, it is even more important to make sure that these are set up in the right positioning for each speaker component. This will help with the cohesive production of sound as well as work to decrease the effects of localization, as mentioned above.

Use an SPL Meter to Check Audio Output

As you check the placement of each speaker, you can use an SPL meter to check the audio output from each piece of equipment.

This will help to ensure that the units are all functioning as you intended and gives tangible data to prove true what your ears may or may not be telling you about your sound from unmatching front and rear speakers.
