Why Is It Called High Fidelity
High fidelity audio systems are designed to go beyond the limitations of other media delivery methods. Their functionality is intended to bypass compressed audio, allowing as much of the original detail as possible to be preserved from the media source. Conventional media delivery is often limited by the delivery methods themselves. Radio, television, streaming music, and video are all subject to these methods, which, in most cases, are restricted by bandwidth. The concept of using compression creates a smaller delivery package and reduces the use of media resources. In some cases, the media platform itself may be limited in its ability to hold the reproduced sound recording.
Streaming music and video are the fastest-growing media platforms today, but their own popularity contributes to their limitations. Everyone is vying for bandwidth. When this media source is combined with the limited capability of lower-quality equipment and speakers, it becomes the same problem as trying to amplify an already poor signal. The result is just louder static!
It is called high fidelity because the focus is on all four parts of sound reproduction.
Media Source – As mentioned, the popular platform today is streaming, but a true music connoisseur is well aware of the quality of various delivery sources. Collectors of phonograph records, compact discs, and, in some cases, uncompressed or lossless digital audio files, understand the value of their collections and the lengths they go to in order to protect the source material.
Electronic Delivery – This refers to the equipment that takes the media and converts it to sound output. Anyone who has ever listened to the once-popular transistor radio can easily understand that the delivery method is crucial to the sound experience. At Origin HiFi, we partner with the most respected brands in the home audio industry. We build these partnerships for one singular purpose: to help you enjoy the music you love. We guide you through your choices of audio components that provide excellent sound quality and are simple to operate.
Sound Output – Sound output is how high-fidelity sound is delivered to the listener. What purpose does great media and exceptional components serve if the output is limited by low-quality speakers? Some choose corded headphones. While they deliver quality sound, the listener is tethered to the equipment. At Origin HiFi, we guide you through respected brands of high-fidelity speakers. Speakers must meet several criteria in addition to delivering pristine, static-free, and lossless sound. Your speakers should also suit your décor and fit your design taste and budget. We are your ultimate source for Hi-Fi speakers to meet all your design requirements. Be sure to check out our line of Dali Phantom custom installation speakers.
Room Resonance – This is often ignored or neglected by the average listener who only desires background music, but an audiophile knows it is an essential component of true sound. The acoustics of a room, or multiple rooms, are paramount to listening pleasure. A true audiophile high-fidelity sound system must consider the reflection of sound within the environment. Our professional design team will focus on all aspects of your system installation to create the perfect sound environment.
