About the Group
Stereo MCs, formed in 1985, have a varied musical history. Their 1992 hit single, "Connected", peaked at number twenty in the charts. Their heyday was in the late eighties when they released a string of albums and toured with heavyweights such as Chic and Depeche Mode, but in recent times they have rekindled their mojo. Their latest album, "Wake Up", has been a great success and the band is currently touring across the country to promote it.

FAQ
How do I pick the right size speakers?
You should first consider how much space your home has. Do you need to fill every space with speakers or are you just looking for a way to make it sound better? Or would you rather keep things simple by adding a few speakers in key areas?
It is also important to decide what kind music you are going to listen. Smaller speakers may be necessary if classical music is your preference. You might need larger speakers if you like rock 'n roll.
Also, think about whether all your speakers should have wires or wireless. Wireless speakers use wires for power transfer and signal transmission. Wireless speakers don't require cables. They are however, not as powerful or as reliable as wired models.
How do I set up my home theater system?
You must first understand the sound wave's path and how it interacts. This includes knowing how much bass and treble frequencies are within any object.
This can be done by listening to music on several devices and noting which ones are producing the most distortion.
Once you have determined the distortion levels of each device's audio, you can better decide where to put speakers.
They will generally be closer together which leads to lower distortion and higher fidelity. However, their placement can also affect the distance between them.
If you want to create a more immersive environment, consider placing multiple speakers within a single room.
You can go even further and surround yourself with speakers.
There are two main types of speaker systems, passive and active. Passive systems include a subwoofer, and several smaller speakers distributed throughout the house.
They tend to be easier to install because they lack moving parts. They can distort easily if they are placed too close together.
An active system is a large woofer that is mounted directly beneath a TV screen. These speakers produce high quality sound but can be expensive, so they may not be practical for many homes.
Another option is to buy a receiver that connects passive and active speakers. These receivers include built-in amplifiers, which ensure the audio signal travels evenly to all speakers.
These receivers can be expensive so they may not be worth it if you don't plan on replacing your entire system.
No matter the type of speaker system, ensure it is correctly installed.

How do I start building my custom home theatre?
You can build custom home theatres in many different ways. You can use off-the-shelf equipment made by different manufacturers. You can also build it yourself. You'll need some basic tools for either option.
A drill, saws/screwdrivers, hammers (measurement tape, jigsaw), router, sandpaper and various miscellaneous equipment are all necessary if you want to start from scratch. A good workbench is also a must-have to ensure that you aren't constantly moving around your house when working.
Prebuilt components are required for use. These include a DVD player or satellite dish, TV tuner cards, TV tuner cards, TV tuner cards, cable box and Blu-ray disk player. Wireless keyboard and mouse is also needed. You'll also require a computer running Windows 7 (or later) and an HDMI Cable.
A fully assembled unit is another option. While you may be able to spend less, this option doesn't offer the same customization options that you have if your unit is built by you.
Once you've got everything together, you'll need to install your components. For example, you'll need to attach the satellite dish to the roof of your house. You will mount the television screen in your living area. The last step is to connect your speakers and monitors to the wall at the back of the room.
What are my options when it comes to choosing a home theater system for me? What are some factors I should consider?
When shopping for a home theater system, there are many choices. Each type comes with its advantages and disadvantages.
A 5.1 surround system will offer five channels of sound, including two front left, left, center and subwoofers; one rear right, left, and center channel; as well as one tweeter. The subwoofer and center channel will provide rich, deep bass and clear dialogue.
Some people like this setup because it lets them hear every detail in their movies. Others enjoy watching movies alongside friends and family who have different musical tastes.
You should make sure that the home theater system you select is suitable for your needs.
As an example, let's say you intend to spend more time listening than watching TV. If this is the case, you may opt for a wireless stereo instead of a surround-sound system.
Another factor to consider is whether you want a flat or curved screen. Flat screens do not curve around the edges which makes them easier to install.
These screens aren't ideal for viewing images. Curved screens offer a wider viewing angle and are more comfortable.
Installing a curved screen requires professional services. If you're planning on purchasing a new TV, ask your dealer about getting a warranty on the screen.
The size of the space where the system will be installed is one last thing to think about when selecting a home theatre.
Generally speaking, larger rooms require bigger speakers. A 6 1/2-foot by 8-foot room would need speakers that are 3 feet wide and 4 feet high.
Also, keep in mind that larger speakers generally cost more money. Consider the cost of larger speakers if you intend to place your home theatre system in a large area.
Do not forget to include any other entertainment system you may be considering purchasing. It might surprise you how quickly home theater costs can escalate!
Is a Soundbar better than a 5.1 soundbar?
Both yes and no. Yes, as it will allow users to experience a more immersive home theater experience. You won't be able enjoy watching movies from bed, however.
A home cinema setup needs a whole room for the equipment. To make it work, you will need to spend a lot of money.
There are many ways to achieve the exact same effect without spending too much effort.
You could use a projector-based setup to project images onto a wall instead of directly onto the screen.
This way you won't require a large TV display. Instead, smaller screens (TVs), can be chosen.
Or, you can put speakers in corners of the room. These speakers will let you play music and video without disturbing anyone.
A soundbar can do just about everything. But if you want to immerse yourself in a movie, you'd probably need a full home cinema setup.
What are the steps to connect my TV to the internet via HDMI?
There's no doubt that the internet has revolutionized modern life. It makes it easy to communicate with others, shop online, view videos, play games, and read books.
Many believe that the internet has become an integral part of their lives.
You will need a router if your goal is to connect your home theater to the Internet. A router allows you the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously to the internet.
A router can also be used to extend the reach of your computer, smartphone or tablet, as well as your smartwatch and game console.
You can also use a router for extending the range of WiFi signals in your house. This will ensure that you don't worry about poor connections in any part of your home.
Routers are usually pretty inexpensive. Even routers can stream videos from Netflix and Hulu as well as YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, HBO GO and Amazon Prime Video.
If you're already a homeowner and have a router, the majority of routers that are available today will work in conjunction with your home theater.
Make sure your router supports HDMI 2.0a, also known as High-Definition Multimedia Interface. This standard supports high resolution content like Blu-Ray discs and Ultra HD Blu-ray disks.
Most routers these days support this standard. However, if you want to be sure that your router supports HDMI 2.0, check the specs sheet for your device.
You should also check if your router supports Ethernet over Power. If it supports Ethernet over power, your TV can be connected directly to the router with ethernet cable instead of using a wireless connection.
This could boost your signal speed.
If you have limited internet access and live in an apartment, your router might not work at its best.
You'll want a router that streams media from services such as Netflix.
Is Samsung or Bose better?
Both companies excel in audio quality. Bose has the best sound quality.
Samsung makes excellent products, but I would recommend going with Bose.
Bose headphones can be much more expensive that Samsung headphones. You get what your pay for.
Bose headphones look great and are made from premium materials. Samsung headphones on the other side have a plastic shell and aren’t very attractive.
Both brands produce outstanding products. Decide which one best fits your style.

How To
Which sound system is the most loved?
One way to best describe the emotions we experience when listening to music is to imagine that our soul is removed and placed within a space free of noise. We become one and the music.
It's not enough to have speakers and a subwoofer. It is also about how the sound is delivered. A speaker that delivers great bass is useless without a powerful amplifier.
Even inexpensive speakers can sound amazing with an amp. However, a poor amp can destroy expensive equipment. We recommend investing in a quality preamp for your home theatre.
Today, almost all sound systems have a built-in preamp. While they provide decent performance and power, these systems often lack the ability to deliver powerful bass. You may want better sound if you intend to listen to loud music while you watch movies.
A dedicated preamp is sure to please. These preamps can handle large volumes of audio and deliver them clearly.
They have automatic volume controls that adjust according to the source material. This allows for the volume to be adjusted according to the source material.
Equalizers are also included in preamps. These equalizers correct any issues with the signal. The equalizer will raise the frequencies that are too low to compensate.
This helps give your speakers the ability to reproduce sounds accurately. If your speakers aren't delivering proper bass, then neither are you.
There are two main types of preamps: active and passive. To run active units, you need to have batteries that are continuously charged. Passive units draw very minimal current and don't drain battery power.
Passive units, however, produce lower sound quality and higher output levels. Because they require separate amplifiers, they are also more expensive.
Preamps will be wired to your speakers. However, you can connect them via RCA cables if desired.
Upgrade your preamp to make your system more efficient. It is possible to make a big difference between a preamp that is good and great.
Some preamps come with an integrated tuner or CD player. Others offer features such as surround processing. Many include digital inputs that allow you to connect your iPod or MP3 player.
When shopping for a preamp, remember to consider both size and price. It is best to not spend more than $100 for each channel.
This is a crucial point that we can not stress enough - it is essential to find the right preamp to meet your needs.
