Exceptional Quality Sound Is Computer Compatible With M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 Speakers


by Abe Schaefer


Technology improved in almost every way following the beginning of the digital era. Some things became quickly obsolete like the manual typewriter, others likes compact discs are on the way out. Technological advancement has a way of making things obsolete. A few decades ago having a great sound system meant big amplifiers, if only the technology of the M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 speakers had been available.

The technology behind creating recordings of music and voice has changed radically in the past half-century. Just as computers once filled the room sound machines were large bulky and expensive. Now, thanks to silicon chips and miniaturization in general, they size of the recorder or player is more a matter of style than capability.

Today, small is better, we have seen the creation of the iPod and a wide variety of receivers that can fit in a pocket or purse. It seems that the majority of time people listen to music using nothing more than earphones or ear buds. So it begs the question that if one can listen to the music with such a tiny device, what purpose do amplifiers serve, if any at all?

The human ear functions by way of the membrane known as the eardrum. When air is moved in waves it causes the membrane to vibrate, and this vibration is interpreted by the brain as sound. Amplifiers of any type function by recreating recorded waves which vibrate and activate the eardrum physically. The key to good sound then is the ability to produce waves that activate the tympanic membrane as natural sound does.

Amplifiers divide the impulses by wavelength, larger cones vibrate slower producing longer waves we perceive as lower sounds, and smaller ones vibrate faster and create shorter waves we perceive as higher sounds. There is also a mid-range which can be established to focus on specific ranges of vibrations.

The way sound is produced is the same even for tiny amplifiers like earphones, but the tiny oscillating membranes can not reproduce the entire range of sound. It is not true that the larger the amplifier the better the music, but being large enough to cover the audible range of the human ear is important. Beyond the desktop size speakers, however, the only advantage is not better quality, but greater volume.

The selection of what kind of amplifier to use with a desktop workstation is obviously a personal one. If one needs high-quality re-create sounds then a better quality amplifier will be required. The M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 speakers have the ability to produce excellent studio quality without the exceptional price.
