ホーム シアターをセットアップするときは、高品質のオーディオ エクスペリエンスを実現するのに役立つフロント スピーカーとリア スピーカーを検討します。これらのスピーカーを使用すると、完全なセットが必要なのか、それとも既に持っているもので作業できるのか疑問に思うかもしれません.

フロント スピーカーとリア スピーカーは一致している必要はありませんが、フロント スピーカーが相互に一致し、リア スピーカーが相互に一致して、最適化が向上し、定位が減少する場合に最適に機能します。可能な場合は一致するスピーカーを使用しますが、それ以外の場合は同様の出力機能を確保してください。

もちろん、ホーム シアター内のオーディオ システムのセットアップには多くの可動部品があります。オーディオの世界に不慣れな方は、オーディオ システムをセットアップすることは、単に数本のワイヤと機器を接続するだけではないため、冒険的な乗り物になります。

比類のないフロントスピーカーとリアスピーカーを使用できるかどうかを知るには、少し手間がかかる場合があります。サラウンド サウンド システムのフロント スピーカーとリア スピーカーのインとアウトを詳しく見てみましょう。

フロント スピーカーとリア スピーカーの違いは何ですか?

サラウンド サウンド システムでは、各コンポーネントに独自の役割があり、システムが生成するサウンドの全体的な効果と品質において明確な目的を果たします。

システムの一部が故障すると、音質が低下します。高品質のサウンドを実現する方法を知ることは、サウンド システムで使用するスピーカー コンポーネントの違いを知ることから始まります。

フロント スピーカーは、会話のオーディオと高音域および中音域のオーディオ周波数を最適化するように機能します。これは、ストリーミングしているメディアのキャラクター ラインをはっきりと聞くことができるようにするために非常に重要です。リア スピーカーは、ギャップを埋めてより堅牢なサウンドを作成する中域および低周波のオーディオに重点を置きます。

フロントまたはリア スピーカーとしてさまざまなスピーカー コンポーネントをセットアップしている場合でも、コンサートに参加しているかのようなセットアップを想像することができます。フロントはパフォーマンスが行われている場所です。

コンサートでは、これはバンドがいる場所です。ホーム シアターでは、ここに画面が配置されます (つまり、目が固定されます)。

あるいは、後部は、サラウンド サウンドの体験を作成するためにブーム サウンドが入ってくる場所です。ここでは、オーディオ体験を高める深い低音と楽音が聞こえますが、お気に入りの映画の会話に直接集中することはありません (ただし、リア スピーカーは中音域の周波数もサポートします)。

このセットアップでは、2 種類のスピーカーがサウンド システムのセットアップ全体で異なる目的を果たしていることがわかります。しかし、一方がなければ、もう一方が単独で存在していても、リスナーにこれほどのインパクトや高品質のオーディオ体験を生み出すことはできません.

これを念頭に置いて、フロント スピーカーとリア スピーカーのセットアップに何が必要かを理解することが重要です。

一致しないフロント スピーカーとリア スピーカーの使用方法

一致するスピーカーを備えたサラウンド サウンド システム全体を使用することが、システム コンポーネントが相互に連携して動作することを保証する最適な方法ですが、これが常に可能であるとは限りません。

In this case, you can use front and rear speaker sets that do not match the other, respectively, but they will need to be connected to have similar output capabilities.

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. These include:

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.
