Cassette recorders, CD-players and other relevant equipment of the nineties and early two thousandths have long become history. Now the age of “numbers” has come, and all these gadgets have been replaced by one computer. However, for high-quality reproduction of music (and any sound content), more or less adequate speakers are required. Standard "tweeters" of the laptop is no longer enough. Therefore, it makes sense to look at the speakers of the 2.1 format. Good options are offered by SVEN. Their acoustics SVEN MS-1820 deserves special attention.
Positioning
The company positions these speakers as a budget speaker system of standard 2.1 with advanced functionality. Against the background of similar at the price of "classmates" these "Svens" look really worthy. Not all manufacturers are ready to give such high-quality acoustics for nothing . Sven is a Finnish company, but its products are manufactured in China and Korea. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom have long learned how to make high-quality equipment.
SVEN MS-1820 can be used both for playing music and for watching movies. It is an almost perfect entry-level speaker system for the home. Thanks to the presence of a subwoofer, you can achieve a rich and deep bass. And this is exactly what the budget columns of standard 2.0 are so lacking. Therefore, it is worth buying SVEN MS-1820. The review begins. Hold on tight.
Contents of delivery
The speaker system comes in a recycled cardboard box. Already on the packaging, the manufacturer provides potential buyers with almost all the technical characteristics of the model. Inside there are two satellites, a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier and an RCA connection cable - 3.5 (tulips - mini-jack). The box also contains a warranty card and an instruction manual. There is also a remote control there. Options SVEN MS-1820 is standard. Many manufacturers complete their budget products in the same way.
Well, the scope of delivery is not so meager. There is even a remote control. But I would like more bonuses. However, what else to expect from cheap acoustics? Yes, and Sven is not the most generous company. But in terms of product quality, this manufacturer has no equal.
Appearance and design
And here the fun begins. Satellites are made in the form of wooden boxes in which speakers are built. The fact that a material is used that at least resembles a tree is a plus. But the fact that the front panels are made of glossy plastic is not very good. Yes, it is beautiful, but impractical. Glossy surface collects fingerprints. SVEN MS-1820 speakers are clearly not designed to be pawed frequently.
The subwoofer is also enclosed in a wooden case. The front glossy panel also has control buttons, bass and timbre controls and slots for Mini SD memory cards and USB drives. The design of the speaker system does not imply any screen. We got a copy in black. Acoustics looks rich and impressive. Beauty is only slightly spoiled by a stained gloss. But it’s not so scary.
Specifications
Here is the most interesting part of the review of the speaker system standard 2.1 SVEN MS-1820. So, the declared acoustic output is 22 watts. However, this figure is somewhat abstract in nature. But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the speaker system provides clear and clear sound even at high volume. However, there is some disadvantage to high frequencies. This is not surprising when you consider that the satellites are single-band, and they do not have a high-frequency head. However, this shortage can easily be compensated for by the equalizer settings.
Nevertheless, the SVEN MS-1820 speakers behave great when listening to music. And when watching a movie, they have no equal at all. Especially felt deep study of bass subwoofer. And this cannot but rejoice. The wooden case and the design in the form of a band resonator do their job. The system can also play MP3 files from Mini SD memory cards and USB drives. This makes the speaker system more versatile. The calculation of the company was built on that. Universal devices are more in demand. Now we turn to the reviews about this speaker system.
User reviews
When buying any product, you need to pay special attention to the reviews of those people who have already managed to buy it. They managed to appreciate all its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, their opinion should be heeded. Especially when buying a speaker system such as SVEN MS-1820. Reviews about these columns are mostly positive. Most of their owners knew that they were taking, and therefore did not demand the impossible from the acoustics. Almost all users noted the juicy and deep bass, which indicates the excellent operation of the subwoofer and its successful design. Many owners liked the ability to play music directly from a memory card. This made the speakers mobile. They can easily be disconnected from the PC and taken with you to the country. A normal flash drive with music is enough. The presence of a remote control is also a plus.
However, there were those who were dissatisfied with the sound quality of the speakers. These comrades pointed out that Yamaha de sounds much better. But it’s the same as comparing a Mercedes with a Zaporozhets. It is clear that these are products of different levels and price categories. But there were very few such users. One or two for the whole forum. Not more. The rest simply admired the sound quality and assembly of the speaker system. The latter, by the way, surprised many. People still do not believe that they can make high-quality equipment in China.
Conclusion
So, we examined the SVEN MS-1820 speakers. Reviews of this speaker system clearly show that for such a price this is the best solution for home and office. But more for the home. Acoustics does a great job with music, but its full potential is manifested when playing a movie. Juicy and deep bass even adds to the "hackneyed" pictures something new. And I want to reconsider them. If you are looking for a quality and inexpensive speaker system standard 2.1 for home use, then you should pay attention to SVEN MS-1820. There is nothing better than her.
