These affordable stereo accessories will help get the best performance and enjoyment from a stereo or home theater system
1. SPL (Sound Pressure Level) Meter
One way to get the best performance from your home theater system is an SPL (sound pressure level) meter. An SPL meter is used to accurately set the volume or level of each speaker in the system to achieve the sound experience intended by the movie director or recording artist. There are two different types of meters, analog and digital and I would recommend the more accurate digital model. Radio Shack offers two SPL meters or you can click on the link below to compare prices on other models. An SPL meter is a great gift for music and movie lovers, and it's affordable.
3. Universal Remote Control
A Universal Remote Control can make operating a system a lot simpler. The clutter of remote controls on the coffee table can be very frustrating. There's a remote control for the receiver, the DVD player, the television and everything else. Consider a Universal Remote that operates all components from one remote control. Some models even have Macro Commands that will perform several functions with the push of one button - Turn on the television, the receiver, DVD player, set the input to DVD, start playing the disc, even dim the lights and set the volume, all by pressing one button.
