Review of Cyber Acoustics CA-3602 Speaker System

What customers say about this product

Features

I like that you can plug an auxiliary input or headphones into the control, so with a double male 1/8" stereo cable, I can also play my phone or laptop on these or use my headphones without reaching down to unplug any cables from the office PC.

Size & Weight

The sub is a good size and feels solid.

Audio

Decent bass, the highs and overall frequency balance is fine. As with most audio setups, if you do not have an equalizer on your computer, see about getting one. While this unit is ok in its flat response, it certainly can use some tweaking to get it just right.

Best Computer Speakers

What Features to Compare

The very first thing to consider when you choose a speaker for computer is its Type. The type depends on the number of speakers and if there is a subwoofer. If you are planning to create a home theater you will need a 5.1 system - by placing all the satellite speakers across the room you will achieve realistic sound. These are one of the best Computer Speakers for those loving to watch movies with all the special effects. The 2.1 acoustic system has two speakers and a subwoofer, it is good for watching movies and listening to music. Portable speakers are small in size, and can connect not only to computer. A Bluetooth technology will enable you to take them with you when you go for a walk, so you could listen to music in any place.

The most important side to the speaker system for PC is its Sound Quality. On it depends the quality of the sound you hear from your Computer Speakers. There are following characteristics to describe this parameter:

  • Power. Speaker system for PC includes several speakers, so what must be considered is total output power, which is the sum of all the speakers' powers. The higher this total output power is, the louder the sound. At the same time, you may not chase the highest numbers here, because when you turn such speakers full power the sound might appear unclear.
  • Sensitivity. This is the sound pressure level. This parameter is also directly proportional to the volume of the sound - the higher the sensitivity the louder the sound. Modern Computer Speakers have this criterion at 80-95 dB.
  • Frequency. This is one more vital characteristic for the acoustics. For the best quality of sound the frequency response range must be wide. Human ear is able to apprehend frequency range from 15 Hz to 22 kHz. PC speakers usually have frequency from 25 Hz to 20 kHz.

When you have decided on your desired sound parameters, proceed to the Design Options feature. It includes such factors as design and materials the Speaker System for PC is made of. Mostly Computer Speakers are manufactured of plastic to make the design more peculiar, but a subwoofer is often made of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) to achieve high-quality sound and low frequencies.

There are also Extras. This is where we place the options of Computer Speaker System connection to the computer. Along with the old-fashioned analog inputs modern PC speaker systems are often equipped with digital inputs to plug in a media player or a gaming console. And the Bluetooth technology allows you to provide wireless connections to smartphones and tablets.
