sound reproduction

Recorded sound playback

Sound reproduction is the process of recording and playing back audio—capturing sound waves and recreating them through speakers or headphones.

The term covers everything from phonographs to digital streaming: The sound reproduction on these vintage speakers is remarkable.

High-fidelity sound reproduction aims to recreate the original performance as accurately as possible.
