Computer Speakers: A Short History

Computer Speakers: A Short History


Computers used to come with a small mono speaker on the back. All of them have been used for a short beeps that the messages communicated from the BIOS. A beep would mean the computer is functioning properly, while two beeps refers to a startup problem. Is still the case with many computers. PC speakers have come a long way since its inception. From that first beep diagnostic full multimedia speakers for computer skills in addition to the personal computer developed.



The first revolution in the computer speakers during the transition from text-based computer (as experienced in a DOS system) and a visual experience (first widely introduced in Windows 3.1). Now there were aspects of visual computing (recovery and minimize the window, click on the icons, etc.) these sounds were associated with visual effects. I’m sure many of you remember the sound from Windows 95 if you made! These sounds (files stored as.wav) increasingly advanced. Music files have to increase short-loop and the first games to their immersion factor. Sound is to use an integral part of the computer.

All these sounds were generated by the sound features on the main board provided. Since the sound required by these programs has increased, the distinct sound cards are designed to be with the Lord complexity. These sound cards have the necessary calculations to produce rich, sonorous, is the processor of the computer no longer necessary to manage these tasks. Now, sound cards have been issued, the best experience of its customers.

The introduction of the MP3 file to play music together for computer users. Now they can hear their favorite music while your everyday computing tasks. Now there was a reason for the separation of computer speakers to make the listening experience behavior. These speakers were originally only two tweeters, and were too weak. As they advanced in the quality of a subwoofer is added to enhance the capacity of the deep bass. Over time, they increased by 5.1 complete system (5 speaker surround sound with subwoofer).

The latest multimedia speaker system for computers achieve or exceed the quality bookshelf speakers. They have become more attractive to the work area and an additional note, to make the decoration of a room. Technically, they can now also its exquisite over the entire range of wavelengths with high audio range of low and high ranges is crystal clear. After this experience to improve background noise, to watch videos or to provide that extra immersion when you play video games can provide.

Try this experiment. Use your computer for a whole week without the speakers. They will quickly take advantage of a system of high-quality computer speakers. PC speakers rose in all categories since its inception in the early 1980s.
