Explanation of Home Theater Speaker Systems Types

If you want to get better quality of home theater experience, then one of the best components are home theater speakers.
Let us first discuss what a home theater is:
It is used to create a movie theater experience at our home only. It is basically a combination of two media types, video and audio.
  • The video side of it includes a big screen or HDTV set and a DVD or HD DVD player.
  • In the audio side, its system includes a receiver which decodes specific formats e.g. Dolby and also consists of speakers positioned in such a way that audio is created everywhere inside the room
So now we can discuss home theater speakers which recreate sound like the way produced inside the movie cinema. In any normal home audio set up, one has a receiver with two speakers - one speaker for right channel and other for left channel. These speakers are to be properly placed in front of the room on the right side and the other one in front of room on the left.
The 5.1 set up is most common configuration for home theater speaker systems. Also the 5.1 set up, of it includes a right front channel, a left front channel, and a center channel.
Right Channel Speaker
Towards the right of TV is the front right channel and in most of the cases loudspeaker handles large signal range. This one is extremely powerful and fills up the room with high quality sound.
Left Channel Speaker
The left channel speaker is also important and works in stereo with the right channel. These are always sold in pairs and are quite powerful.
Center Channel Speaker
This one is located either underneath the TV or above the TV. It consists of a single speaker that handles midrange sound. These are usually rectangular in shape and are magnetically shielded.
Subwoofer
These are meant for low frequencies which travel in all directions and are Omni- directional and are placed anywhere within the room.
Surround Sound Speaker
Surround sound channel speakers are the two speakers which have been placed behind viewer. These are meant to give feel of a video environment and are commonly referred to as satellite speakers. These can be hanged on wall brackets or small stands. It has been noticed that if there is any large room, they can be paired with three surround sound channel speakers.
