What Is Two-Channel Audio?
Sound is separated into channels, and with two channels instead of one, you’ll hear more depth to your music. Also called stereo (as opposed to mono), sound is separated into left and right speakers. You’ll use two speakers positioned a distance apart, facing the listener. You could use two-channel audio on either side of your TV, record player, or connect to your smartphone for streaming. If you’re looking for that live-music-sensation, a stereo setup will always bring you closer.
How Do I Add More Channels?
If you want even more speakers in your system, you’ll have to wire them to the same receiver. The receiver acts as the brain of your system, sending signals from audio sources to your speakers.
By adding additional speakers and a subwoofer, you’ll hear richer sound throughout your house or home theater. A multi-room system lets you enjoy your favorite tunes as you walk from one end of the house to another, a good mood following you every step of the way.
How Can I Connect Music Sources?
Your stereo system can be synced to many different audio sources. Hook the receiver up to your turntable for new and vintage records, for instance, or connect to the TV to boost your Netflix audio. Many high-end amplifiers and speakers, like models by McIntosh, now include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled features so that you can link your phone wirelessly. Select Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, or wherever you find new music, and enjoy it over top-quality speakers.
