Although their own Apple computers have integrated speakerssometimes, to see a movie, a series or a football match, its volume is not adequate, and let's not talk if we want to play music from them, which, in a large room, fall very short.
Formerly, portable devices had no wireless connections such as Bluetooth, so it should be done by cable. And while today it is still a comfortable way to do it, we also have the other, which allows us to move the speaker anywhere without having to go with the MAC behind, even being able to put several throughout the room, creating a cinema effect.
How to connect a speaker to your Mac
The process, although we believe that in a MAC is complicated, is the same as in any other device, and we will only have to match one of the following ways:
- By Bluetooth: If the sound bar has Bluetooth, you can match it with your Mac wirelessly. You just need to go to System preferences> Bluetooth In your Mac, activate the Bluetooth in the bar and look for it in the list of available devices.
- Auxiliary cable (Jack 3.5 mm): If the sound bar and your MAC have an auxiliary input/output of 3.5 mm, you can connect them directly with an auxiliary cable. In the Mac, go to System preferences> Sound> output and select the sound bar as audio output.
Once made, the adjustment will be saved, and every time we have connected it, it will be reproduced by it, regardless of whether it is a basic sound bar, or a speaker equipment, because everything will be synchronized by Bluetooth or cable, as if it were some airpods or other smaller and smaller headphones.
Is it advisable to use a sound bar?
The truth is that, despite the fact that Macs have good speakers, the experience of the use of a sound bar makes you better use the quality of your computer, so it is always an interesting addition, although it will not be necessary to buy it if it comes with the power of the integrated.
In my case, one of the causes I did with one, is that the right speaker of my computer stopped working, and it is cheaper to acquire an external speaker, than to repair your own, in addition to providing that point of extra quality we were talking about.
In summary, it will depend on your needs, but you know that yes, what It is possible to add extra speakers to your Mac, whether they are, and both wirelessly, and by cable. Now you just have to review your budget, and see which of all available is the chosen one, since you will have from something very simple, to authentic music teams. The DJs use the Mac a lot, now you understand why, and that if it were not possible, you would not see them connected to a whole party room.
