Studio Monitor Vs. Computer Speaker

Most computers come with two standard speakers or built-in speakers.

Whether producing audio or playing music from a computer, a type of computer speaker is needed to play sounds. Many people confuse studio monitors as regular computer speakers. Studio monitors are different from regular speaker monitors, however.

Computer Speakers

Computer speakers are speakers designed to plug into a computer's audio output.

Built-in Speakers

Built-in speakers are computer speakers that are built into the computer. This type of computer speaker is most common on laptops.

Surround Sound Speakers

Surround sound computer speakers are the most commonly used with desktop computers. These speakers are usually made up of several speakers and a subwoofer.

Studio Monitors

Studio monitors are speakers designed to produce flat and equal tones of bass, treble and mid-range.

Difference

Studio monitors are better for producing audio because computer speakers are designed to "enhance" the sound from a computer.
