Every user dreams about inexpensive acoustics for a personal computer or mobile equipment, but finding a decent product on the market is quite difficult. The thing is that the budget class is full of low-quality speakers, and in the segment of quality products, prices are too high. However, there is a solution. The focus of this article is the acoustics of Sven SPS-619. Many sellers consider these computer speakers to be the golden mean (at a price of 2500 rubles), because they will satisfy customers' requests in terms of price-quality ratio. Overview, specifications and user reviews about audio technology will allow the reader to get acquainted with an interesting product closer.
Classics always delight connoisseurs
Sven SPS-619 computer speakers are made in 2.0 format, have two channels, and a tree (MDF) is used as the material for making the case. The classic set is complemented by magnetic shielding, which perfectly copes with the task (even a mobile phone placed on the speaker housing did not interfere with the call).
The only thing that spoils the big picture is the power supply and amplifier, which the manufacturer placed in the right column. The power system does not cause any particular complaints, however, if we talk about the classic version, the amplifier should be in a separate unit. As for the lack of proprietary mounts for mounting acoustics to a wall, user questions become irrelevant here: immediately after turning on the speakers, high power will simply tear out the heavy speakers from the wall along with the mounts.
Visual inspection
The speaker system is presented on the market in two variations: Sven SPS-619 Gold and Platinum. They differ only in color inserts on the front panel, which the manufacturer placed around the contour of the speakers. Computer speakers are large (115x200x130 mm), so they take up a lot of space on the table. The user will also have to get used to their work, because the woofer causes the table to vibrate even at medium volume.
Many owners in their reviews note that acoustics do not have protective pads that are customary to install in front of the speakers, protecting them from dust and damage. It is clear that plastic grids will spoil the appearance of the speakers, however, for many, the safety of operation is higher than beauty. The weight of the acoustics is 2.4 kilograms. For powerful speakers, this is a plus, because the large mass will not allow the device to jump on the table at maximum volume.
Workmanship
Many buyers believe that it is problematic to find devices with a high build quality in a budget class. Therefore, users are simply not particularly interested in how the Sven SPS-619 speakers are made. The reviews of the owners, however, still casually touch on this topic. As for the wooden surfaces of the case, even the most demanding customers will not be able to find fault with them. The faces are fitted perfectly to each other and have no distortions. There are also no complaints about the control panel. The power button does not hang, and the volume controls do not scroll.
There are small comments only on the quality of the coating of wooden faces. Paint and varnish are applied in a very thin layer, and it is easy to peel them off completely by accident (with a fingernail or a foreign object in the form of a mug). But the front part of the acoustics, on which the speakers are located, is made qualitatively - the glossy surface cannot be damaged. You can only contaminate with fingerprints, as it is polished.
Main component
First of all, Sven SPS-619 are purchased by users in order to provide themselves with high-quality and loud sound, so we will focus on the quality of the speakers. At the first acquaintance, it may seem that the total output power of 20 watts will not be enough for comfortable listening to music at home. This opinion is deceptive, because the manufacturer honestly indicated the rated power at which acoustics can reproduce the frequency range of 70-22,000 Hz without distortion. In fact, 10 watts per column is a lot for a single room of 20 square meters.
The tweeter has a diameter of 25 mm and the tweeter has 76 millimeters. The manufacturer did not specify the frequency thresholds at which the speakers operate separately in the operating instructions, which means that the used audio elements are of poor quality and do not pass the conformity check at the factory.
Real sound
The manufacturer claims that the Sven SPS-619 copes with playing music of any genre. However, such a statement raises doubts among many users, judging by their reviews. A review of the speaker system reveals one oddity - a round hole located on the rear wall of the speakers is a cooling system, not a bass reflex. Naturally, the buyer will have many questions for the seller regarding the stated playback frequencies.
It is logical to assume that the range does not start at 70 Hz, but at least 250-300 Hz. Directly in the store, this is easy to check by adjusting the equalizer of the player and applying low-frequency sound to the speakers. As practice shows, the user will not hear anything but hiss. But champing sounds are the result. By the way, before the test, many experts recommend warming up the low-frequency speakers (five minutes of quiet playback will be enough).
Ease of use
The standard power button on the rear panel of the right speaker is equipped with a resistor that protects the power supply from power surges. As for the volume control panel, you must pay tribute to the manufacturer. He placed it on the verge of the right column. The location is convenient, because reaching for the toggle switch located on the rear panel is inconvenient. In addition, with volume and frequency controls, the manufacturer set the audio output for the mini-jake 3.5 interface. Connecting the headphones to the right side is more convenient than pulling the cable to the back of the speaker system.
Sven SPS-619 Gold speakers do not have a built-in equalizer, so it’s easy to control. The usual volume control is combined on one panel with a resistor, which is able to balance the voltage between the high-frequency and low-frequency speakers, allowing the owner to extract bass or high sounds from the acoustics.
The closest competitors in the budget segment
Conducting a review of the Sven SPS-619 speakers, I want to note that the speakers still have competitors in the low-cost segment. The well-known manufacturer of speakers, the company Microlab, introduced two modifications to the market at once: B-72 and B-73. Not without the brand Gemix. Modification TF-611 claims to be the leader in sales. A distinctive feature of competitors' acoustics is the ability to disconnect the left speaker from the head unit. This is very convenient if you need to place speakers in the corners of the room. But the owners of Sven SPS-619 will have to cut the cable and increase it.
The manufacturer did not even think about connecting a subwoofer to the speaker system, and after all, the amplifier power is enough to send a signal to an additional low-frequency speaker. Both competitors have such functionality. However, judging by the reviews of the owners of the speakers Microlab and Gemix, the speakers have serious problems with reproducing low frequencies. So it’s not clear who else is winning.
User reviews
A review of acoustics and a study of technical specifications is good, but many potential buyers are interested in the opinions of the owners. The Sven SPS-619 speakers are pretty interesting reviews. All users believe that for a budget class, the Gold modification has two definitions: the name of the device and the playback quality. There was also a negative about the separation of the columns, but all the owners quickly solved this problem on their own.
As for ease of use and sound quality, there are no complaints. All owners believe that the speakers play better than could be expected from the device for such an interesting price (2500 rubles). Some users paid attention to the insecurity of the speakers from dust, but their negativity was absorbed by statements regarding a beautiful appearance with a golden color fringing.
Finally
The Sven SPS-619 speaker system is truly a unique product in the budget class 2.0 form factor devices. It is clear that they are far from ideal, but the manufacturer has set the correct vector for the production of decent acoustics. Satisfying the buyer with price, appearance and high power, we can expect high demand for their products. Among the inconveniences, I would like to note the impossibility of separating the speakers, a weak woofer and large dimensions. However, taking into account the cost of this acoustics, all the negatives quickly resolve themselves, because for the high quality you need to pay the corresponding price.
