Home Audio Compact & Shelf Stereos

Listen to Your Favorite Songs on a Home Audio Compact Shelf Stereo System

Home compact shelf stereo systems come in several different styles, and many product types on eBay have a design scheme that matches a television, DVD player, and other consumer electronic products. If you want to listen to music and experience crisp stereo sounds, then one of these units can play your favorite tunes in style. Depending on the model you choose, you may also be able to copy cassettes and listen to the radio, too.

Multiple brands make home audio shelf systems with line-in jacks for different wires. These wires connect speakers to a main receiver. Some units also have advanced input options, such as USB ports. UBS ports play digital files that are stored on a UBS drive. Other common features are described here:

• Bluetooth hardware: Bluetooth hardware transmits a wireless signal to a home audio stereo system. This technology plays music on other compatible devices that are within a practical signal range.
• A dual cassette deck: The cassette decks on a stereo system can play cassette tapes. One side will have the ability to record and play, while the second deck will only be able to play. The hardware can only play one tape at a time, but you can use the record facility to copy a tape from the other deck.
• A headphone jack: A headphone jack sends an audio signal to a pair of headphones. Many systems on eBay have a port for standard headphones.
• An iPod dock: This dock connects a home stereo system to an iPod device. While an iPod is docked, music on the hard drive plays through the stereo system.

All home audio stereo systems have hardware that plays the most common audio formats. Since radio is a popular media source, multiple systems have a built-in radio tuner. Besides radio stations, home audio stereo systems can also play CDs and MP3s.

Stereo systems by most brands are built with two speakers that are detached or with two built-in speakers. Between the speakers, all units have traditional buttons that control audio functions. In this spot, you may find an LCD panel that displays helpful information about music tracks and audio settings.

Although stereo sound is the standard audio option for many home audio systems, some brands use technology to takes a basic stereo signal to the next level. On eBay, youll find affordable advanced stereo systems with hardware that produces Hi-Fi sounds and acoustic wave sounds.
