Everything You Need to Know About Speaker Stands

With all the new audio technologies, Dolby digital, surround sound and all the others, it is important that you set up your sound system correctly in order to get the most out of your audio systems and home theater. People use speaker stands for a number of reasons. Primarily, the speaker is elevated from the floor. And secondly, the stand itself reduces vibrations. This means that your speakers will be working at their full capability.

In the old days, speakers were primitive, and all the sound components were in the same unit. You'd find the tweeters and woofers in together which would mean that the sound quality was usually pretty poor. Now you have surround sound, with multiple channels and speakers that are capable of producing the kinds of sounds that will make you think you are right in the action. Surround sound makes it so you not only hear voices clearly, but things like cars racing around a track can actually go from one side of the room to the other. Things like distant and soft sounds such as whispering and rainfall can be heard quite clearly. This makes home theater systems seem like you are watching the real thing and can make you jump out of your seats when explosions happen.

It is important that you place your speaker stands high enough that you can hear the sound when you are sitting down. There are stands that can be adjusted to many different height levels, as well as stands that mount directly on the walls or even the ceiling. You'll find that just as important as the components of a home stereo system is the positioning of the speakers. The first thing you should do when placing your speakers and stands is to read the instructions that comes with them. The makers of your speaker stands and audio racks know what they are doing, and have done extensive testing to make sure they produce an optimal sound quality.

When positioning your speaker stands in a large room, place them at least eight feet apart, but you can shorten this distance for smaller rooms. They should never be touching the walls, because this could affect the sound quality, as they will vibrate against the surface. You should place your speakers facing where you are going to be watching television, or listening to your stereo. This way the sound is always in your direction, and not pointing somewhere else. Make sure there is nothing blocking the front of them, since this will muffle sounds and make it harder to get the full effects.

When looking for speaker stands, make sure that they have a solid base, and that the speaker platform is the same size as the bottom of the speaker itself. Putting some rubber under the speakers will reduce vibrations. After you've set up your speakers, sit down where you normally sit when watching and listening. Once they're on, be sure that all the speakers are pointing directly at you. Now you can get going!
