Getting Better All the Time

Starting in the 1990s, vendors began to offer higher-quality computer speakers. Similar to home theater and stereo systems, many computer speaker systems include a pair of small speakers for the midrange and high (treble) frequencies and a large subwoofer for the low end (bass). The small speakers are placed in a left/right stereo orientation, while the subwoofer can be located anywhere on the floor because bass signals are omnidirectional. See sound card and subwoofer.
