Satellite speakers are small speakers that are designed to be used in a home theater or surround sound system. They are typically used as rear or side surround sound speakers in a larger system that uses tower speakers or bookshelf speakers as the mains. Satellite speakers are also great for creating immersive surround sound in small to medium-sized rooms, often in a 2.1, 5.0, or 5.1 arrangement. They are designed to be compact and easy to mount on walls, ceilings, or specific stands, making them ideal for situations where space is limited. Satellite speakers are not as powerful as tower speakers, but they are designed to complement the main speakers and improve the quality of sound. They reproduce medium and high frequencies and are often sold as part of a package with a subwoofer. Satellite speakers are also suitable for use in a desktop system and pair well with turntables, PCs, gaming consoles, and other nearfield listening experiences.
