![]() ![]() Voice clarity: Unless you’re testing subwoofers, any evaluation of an audio device should focus heavily on its voice reproduction.Extra features: All powered speakers include at least one analog audio input, but we tried to find models with other useful features, such as a phono input, digital audio inputs, and a remote control. ![]() Many musical instruments, such as saxophone and guitar, cover a similar frequency range.īecause humans hear other people’s voices so much, people are especially sensitive to the naturalness of voice reproduction, and the human ear is most sensitive to the frequency range where the human voice resides. Voice reproduction is the toughest thing to get right on a speaker, and all of our picks performed better in this area than their competitors did. Imaging and spaciousness: Imaging is the ability of stereo speakers to produce focused sonic “images” of the various singers and instruments positioned between the speakers, and sometimes even outside the speakers.Spaciousness, or soundstaging, is the feeling of envelopment that stereo speakers can produce, with the sound seeming to wrap around the listener and reach far beyond the wall behind the speakers ideally, this characteristic gives some sense of the space where the recording was made (or of the reverb added during mixing). Often, a speaker system does imaging well but doesn’t sound spacious, or vice versa we preferred speakers that did at least a pretty good job on both. Bass: Research shows that listeners prefer speakers that can play deep bass notes cleanly and loudly. ![]() The bass must also be reproduced at a level consistent with the mid range and treble, otherwise the sound becomes boomy or thin. We tested the speakers’ bass by playing bass-heavy tunes such as Lil Baby’s “Woah” at loud volume, listening for the “tearing” sound of distortion, as well as the “chuffing” sound when a speaker is trying to push too much air through its bass port both of those noises can make listening intolerable. We also listened to typical pop tunes, such as Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” to make sure the bass didn’t drown out voices and other instruments.Now have our exclusive 44 th Annual Grammy Awards show report online.
