Awesome Sound Requires Technical Excellence Like M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 Speakers

By Abe Schaefer


It seems like invention of the computer and digital possibilities they came with a changed just about everything especially in the home entertainment world. Music systems resembled furniture, whereas now exceptional audio files come from devices smaller than our hand. Listening to them still requires a sound producing element and M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 speakers provide an excellent output.

While the basic parts and operation of amplifiers has not changed since then the materials and the ability to control them has improved. The receivers, eight track players, reel to reel and other devices were bulky and looked like aircraft modules. That was actually intentional as an intentional style point; having a massive stereo systems meant it had to be good.

Today, small is better, we have seen the creation of the iPod and a wide variety of receivers that can fit in a pocket or purse. It seems that the majority of time people listen to music using nothing more than earphones or ear buds. So it begs the question that if one can listen to the music with such a tiny device, what purpose do amplifiers serve, if any at all?

The human ear functions by way of the membrane known as the eardrum. When air is moved in waves it causes the membrane to vibrate, and this vibration is interpreted by the brain as sound. Amplifiers of any type function by recreating recorded waves which vibrate and activate the eardrum physically. The key to good sound then is the ability to produce waves that activate the tympanic membrane as natural sound does.

Amplifiers come in different sizes as larger cones vibrate more slowly to produce longer waves and smaller condoms vibrate faster generating higher frequencies. There are also comes that are targeted for the middle of the audible spectrum. The large cones are called woofers, small ones tweeters and those frequencies between the two are called mid-range.

Amplifiers produce noise in the same manner that the original source did, creating waves by moving a piece known as the cone to re-create the movement. The more closely the vibrations match the original source, without adding mechanical noise, the better the quality. Tiny systems like those in earphones have difficulty re-creating the spectrum of audible frequencies and so the quality is diminished.

When it comes to deciding which amplifiers are best for the computer desktop in your home, it depends on your usage. If you are a part time disk jockey or intend to record, you will want a high quality system. For the money, a set of M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 speakers provide professional level quality a reasonable price.
