Different types of speakers and their uses
Speakers are a central part of any sound system experience and come in different shapes and styles designed for different uses.
Active speakers
For example, active speakers are an excellent choice for those who value clear sound without complicated installation. Active speakers have a built-in amplifier, so they can be used directly with other devices without a separate amplifier. A separate preamplifier or the speaker's own controls may be needed for volume control and other controls, such as bluetooth use. Particularly popular active speakers are, for example, Genelec speakers, which are known for their high quality.
On the other hand, passive speakers are a great choice for the slightly more advanced audio enthusiast. Passive speakers require a separate amplifier, but this allows the user to perfectly customize their sound to suit their taste
Bluetooth speaker
A Bluetooth speaker is a wireless device that uses Bluetooth technology to receive and play audio signals. Unlike traditional speakers that require physical wires between the sound source and the speaker, a Bluetooth speaker can sync with other devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers without wires.
At home, bluetooth speakers allow you to move sound from room to room without any effort. Whether you want to listen to a podcast in the kitchen or relaxing music in the bathroom, bluetooth speakers make it a seamless and easy experience. The constant development of technology also means that the sound quality of these speakers is constantly improving, making them an even more attractive option for many music lovers.
Bluetooth speakers have revolutionized the way we listen to music and other sound sources. They have eliminated the need for complicated wiring and given us the freedom to enjoy music anywhere and anytime. Especially for outdoor activities, such as a picnic or the beach, bluetooth speakers are invaluable, as they are often compact, portable and easy to use.

A subwoofer is the source of depth and power in your sound world
A subwoofer is often underestimated, but an essential part of a versatile sound system. It is specially designed to reproduce low sound frequencies, also known as a woofer, bringing depth and power to the entire audio experience.
What is a subwoofer?
A subwoofer is a speaker specially tailored to reproduce the lowest sound frequencies, usually below 80 Hz. While normal speakers are able to reproduce a wide range of sounds, a subwoofer focuses on bass sounds, which makes it an indispensable part of many sound systems.
Why is a subwoofer important?
-
Depth to the movie experience: In movies and TV shows, low sounds like explosions or bass lines in music come to life with the help of a subwoofer. This expands the soundscape and makes the viewer feel as if they are in the middle of the action.
-
Perfection for music: Many genres of music, such as rock, pop, hip-hop and electronic music, benefit from deep bass lines. With a subwoofer, you can experience music as it was meant to sound.
-
Emphasizing the intensity of games: The dynamic soundscape of video games is essential to the gaming experience, and a subwoofer ensures that players feel every sound.
Choose the right subwoofer
Choosing a subwoofer is not a simple task and there are a few things to keep in mind:
-
Size and power: Subwoofers come in different sizes and powers. The size of your space and the acoustics will determine which model is the most suitable for you. Large rooms may require a more powerful subwoofer, while a more compact model is suitable for smaller spaces.
-
Disposition: The location of the subwoofer can affect its performance. Some rooms may have "dead spots" where the bass is not heard as clearly. It is worth trying different places to find the optimal location.
-
Compatibility: It is important that the subwoofer is compatible with other audio equipment. This ensures that you get the best possible sound quality.
A subwoofer is the key to a deep and rich sound world. In Hifitalo's online store, you can find a wide selection of subwoofers designed to meet different needs and budgets. Whether it's home theater, listening to music or gaming, the right subwoofer can change your entire experience. Take the help of our experts and find the perfect subwoofer that will raise the sound reproduction to a new level.
Computer speakers
Computer speakers are an excellent way to improve the sound quality of your computer, whether it's music, watching videos or playing games. Computer speakers are often active speakers, which can also have built-in, for example, volume control and other controls. They are designed to fit perfectly on your desk and often offer a compact size without compromising on sound quality. Many modern computer speakers have built-in amplifiers, DSP and advanced technology to ensure clear and rich sound reproduction.
Floor speakers
Floor speakers are often the cornerstone of a home hi-fi system. They are designed to produce rich and powerful sound for larger listening areas. Thanks to their larger size and power, floorstanding speakers are able to produce deeper bass sounds and clearer highs, making them the perfect choice for listening to music, watching movies or catching up on TV shows.
Outdoor speakers
The outdoor speakers are designed to withstand various weather conditions and provide high-quality sound in open spaces, such as patios, terraces or gardens. They are made of weather-resistant materials and are often designed to blend in with the outdoor environment. Whether it's a barbecue party or a relaxing day at the pool, outdoor speakers make sure the music comes through loud and clear.
Placing the speakers
The placement of the speakers can significantly affect the sound quality. Floorstanding speakers are the most common choice for those who want to maximize sound quality. They tend to be larger and produce a richer sound than other types of speakers.
Wall speakers are a good option when space is limited. They can be installed on the wall, which saves floor space and creates a minimalist look. Wall speakers are especially popular in home theater systems, but they are also suitable for other spaces.
Stand speakers, on the other hand, are a compact solution that is especially suitable for small spaces. Speakers equipped with a stand can also be visually pleasing and can be placed appropriately in the recess of the furniture.
See our detailed instructions how to place the speakers.
Home theater speakers
Home theater speakers usually consist of several different components. For example, a traditional 5.1 home theater system includes five speakers (front left, front right, center, rear left, and rear right) and one subwoofer. This setup can be used to create a deep and surrounding sound world that takes the movie experience to a new level.
In recent years, Dolby Atmos technology has brought a new kind of experience to home theater systems. The Atmos speaker adds additional sound channels that reflect sound from the ceiling, creating a three-dimensional soundscape.
1. Front speakers (left, right and center):
-
Front left and right speakers: These speakers are usually placed on either side of the TV and play most of the stereo sound track.
-
Center channel speaker: This speaker is placed above or below the TV and reproduces most of the dialogue in movies and TV shows.
2. Surround speakers (surround left and right):
Placed to the sides or behind the listener, these speakers create a spatial effect and reproduce background sounds such as birdsong, raindrops or audience applause.
3. Surround back speakers (rear left and right):
Especially in 7.1 systems, these are placed behind the listener and work together with other surround speakers to create an even deeper and more multidimensional sound field.
4. Subwoofer:
A subwoofer is a special speaker designed to reproduce very low sound frequencies. It gives depth and power to movie explosions, music bass lines and other low sounds.
5. Dolby Atmos Speakers:
A newer addition to home theater speakers, these are designed to produce height-oriented sounds. They are placed on the ceiling or are special speakers that direct the sound towards the ceiling and reflect it back to the listener, creating a sound effect from above.
6. Sound bar:
Soundbars are an increasingly popular choice these days for those who want more sound in their home theater system without the complexity and space-consuming equipment. This speaker with a compact design offers high-quality sound reproduction that can change the entire movie or music listening experience.
Wireless connection using Bluetooth
One of the secrets of the soundbar's popularity is its wireless ability to connect to different devices. Thanks to Bluetooth technology, you can connect the soundbar to a TV, phone or tablet without wires. This makes using the speaker very comfortable and flexible.
Black, stylish and versatile
Most often, the soundbar comes in a luxurious black color that suits any home or office. Thanks to its compact design, it fits easily under the TV or on a shelf, and its unobtrusive appearance blends seamlessly into any interior.
More sound, less space
The biggest advantage of a soundbar is its ability to provide significantly more sound than a traditional television, but without the complexity and space-consuming nature of a multi-speaker system. You can enjoy rich, multi-layered sound without having to install multiple speakers around the room.
Soundbar offers an elegant and efficient solution for those who want more sound without extra effort. The black, compact design speaker can be used in many different ways, and its wireless, Bluetooth-compatible feature makes it particularly user-friendly. If you're looking for a way to improve the sound of your home theater easily and stylishly, a soundbar might be just the right solution for you.
A soundbar is usually also significantly cheaper than active speakers, or a whole system with, for example, a versatile stereo amplifier and speakers.
The small speaker fits on a shelf or next to the TV
Small speakers, such as computer speakers, are perfect for those who want to enjoy high-quality sound in a limited space. They are compact but can still produce quality sound. For example, OR Kaiuttimet offers a wide selection of small but powerful speakers that are perfect for a table or shelf.
