Home theater speakers are a relatively complex system, consisting of many different types of speakers, which can be divided into many types according to their appearance, structure, and functions. Let’s take a look at what you may encounter when building a home theater. Some of the more common types.

1. According to the appearance structure, it can be divided into the following categories:

1. Floor standing speakers. The appearance of this type of speakers is generally rectangular, high-end and atmospheric, and the woofers are mostly large-diameter. Generally, they are placed in the living room and on both sides of the display terminal. If your home theater is in the living room, then a pair of traditional floor-standing speakers will make the whole living room high-end, atmospheric and classy. In addition, in order to meet the individual needs of different consumers, many home theater brand manufacturers have also launched slim floor-standing speakers, which are more fashionable and trendy in appearance.

2. Embedded speakers. The advantage of embedded speakers is that they belong to "private customization", which can give people who don't like to destroy the original room decoration style a new choice. In addition, compared with traditional floor-standing speakers, embedded speakers have no back wave interference in acoustic design, and the sound is more precise and clean, so they have more advantages in surround sound effects.

3. Bookshelf speakers. Compared with traditional floor-standing speakers, bookshelf speakers are small in size, easy to position, and accurate in sound and image positioning. They are suitable for space environments such as study rooms or bedrooms.

Second, from the installation location and function, it can be divided into the following categories:

1. Main speaker

The main speakers are the most important pair of speakers in the home theater audio system. They are responsible for supporting the sound effect of the magnificent scenes of the entire movie. The sound and music accompanying the pictures we see are also emitted from the main speakers.

2. Center speaker

The center speaker is generally a speaker in a home theater, and all the main vocal dialogues in movies appear from the center speaker.

3. Surround speakers

The number of surround speakers is variable. There are only two surround speakers for a 5.1-channel home theater, and four for a 7.1-channel home theater. The latest Dolby Atmos technology supports up to 64 channels.

The main function of the surround speakers is to improve the envelopment of the sound of the home theater, so that the viewers have the feeling of being in the movie scene. Passed by, shells exploded around.

You can also understand that the sound of the scene seen in the picture is also from the main box and the center speaker, and the sound of the scene that cannot be seen is from the surround speakers, such as the shells across the sky to behind you process.

4. Subwoofer speaker (subwoofer)

The main responsibility of the subwoofer is the subwoofer, which is generally below 200HZ. This low-frequency sound is between the sound and the airflow, similar to a roar, and you can also feel the airflow from the speaker.
