13 Nov 09 Type A (Active) Personalities – Active and Passive Subwoofers
Home Theater (HT) owners are in a constant search for the perfect sound system. Part of this perfectly tweaked home theater sound from subwoofer derived. There are three basic types of subwoofers with the HT-owners should be familiar: active, passive and ported. Each type has its own characteristics and advantages of the HT owners. Therefore, it is meant for the HT owners how each type can affect the overall sound in the importance of his or herSystem.
An active subwoofer is a subwoofer that has its own amplifier. There is no need to use the existing receiver or amplifier. The subwoofer is capable of producing results with their own efforts. Many home theater owners consider active subs for a variety of reasons. One reason for the choice of an active subwoofer is a bass that much power needs to be cleaned as a loud noise, and as far as higher frequencies. As a rule, down from 100 hertz, it has more than 10 times the power,to move the air sounds at these low frequencies of the large wavelength. More power to the subwoofer is required to a loud and clean sound to reproduce.
Subwoofers are in a variety of situations and variety of locations, from home theater and commercial cinema to concert halls and stadiums. The vast majority of the energy is used for these applications, produced by the subwoofer, because the movement of air for much lower frequencies has a great power. Implementation of activeSubwoofer in the sound system prevents the unnecessary taxing of the receiver by a large energy demand on them. The power is integrated into the receiver can take care of the high frequencies and low frequencies have their own amplifiers.
The second reason why many owners prefer a powered subwoofer, HT is the design itself. It is a phenomenon between the speaker and the amplifier, dramatically reducing distortion. Since the subwoofer does not work with a variety ofAmplifiers, they can optimize the circuit amplifier and speakers with a particular work. There is a way to get feedback from that produced what the speaker in the amplifier so it can compensate adequately, leading to a dramatic reduction in the distortion. The procedure is only possible with the active subwoofer, because the amplifier circuit and the speaker to be known quantities and concrete cooperation in this manner not possible with passive systems. Therefore,for the above reasons, the majority of HT owners prefer a powered subwoofer with a passive subwoofer.
The decision for an active or passive subwoofer implementation lies with the home theater owners. There are specific characteristics and advantages of each type of chosen subwoofer, depending on the needs and constraints of the system itself and the available space. Should therefore only after careful consideration and planning of home theater owners makeDecision by the subwoofer most suited to the requirements of its respective system.

The term "5.1" refers to the number of speakers and subwoofers in the system respectively. So for a 5.1 surround soundSystem, there are five speakers (center channel, two front speakers, and the two rear speakers) and a subwoofer.
If your home theater speakers, try to use the same amount of speaker cables for all types of speakers. For example, the same length of wire used for each of the front speakers. This allows the signal to each speaker in about the same moment to achieve. I say "about" because there are differences in the wire, which could cause the signal to beEasy access to one speaker (fractions of fractions of a second) before the others. While the two lengths are equal, make sure that this delay remains tiny and unnoticeable.
Center Channel
The center channel should always be placed either directly above or directly below the screen. Make sure that the speakers pointed directly to the audience.
Front Speaker
The two front speakers should be the same distance from the audience as the center channel. DoingThis ensures that the sound from each speaker to the audience at the same time, the travel and reduce the probability that there is a noticeable delay between what happens on the screen when you hear it. Each of the front speakers should be positioned an equal distance from the TV on both sides. This distance is dependent on your specific tastes, so make sure that the distances are both equal.
Rear speaker
The rear speakers should be mounted on the walls onboth sides of the audience. Their goal is to create a sense of atmosphere, not the most important take care of your home theater sound system. Therefore, they should not be directly to the ears of the audience pointed out, or you risk over powering the center channel and the two front speakers. Here, too, distance is important. Try the rear speakers the same distance from the TV set have to use the same amount of speaker wire and if possible they made the equidistanceAudience.
Subwoofer
Bass tones to locate naturally more difficult than the middle and high tones of the other five speakers. This gives you more freedom, where the subwoofer is the place. But the situation around the subwoofer can be very bass tones that you added influence. Place the subwoofer in a corner or under a table, a deep resonating tone as the sound waves reflect from the surfaces. The placement of the subwoofer is up to youdepending on the type of bass you want. Experiment with different locations and find the one, that best suit your taste.
Realizing the full potential of your home theater speaker is not a difficult task. By following these guidelines you will be ready to enjoy your home theater to be heard, as it was meant to be.
