Zigawo za audio zitha kugawidwa pafupifupi gawo la audio source (signal source), gawo la amplifier lamphamvu ndi gawo la wokamba nkhani kuchokera pa hardware.

Gwero la audio: Gwero la audio ndilo gwero la nyimbo, kumene phokoso lomaliza la wokamba nkhani limachokera.Magwero amawu wamba ndi: osewera CD, LP vinilu osewera, digito osewera, mawayilesi tuners ndi zina zomvetsera kusewera zipangizo.Zipangizozi zimatembenuza kapena kutsitsa ma siginecha amawu muzosungirako zosungira kapena mawayilesi kukhala ma analogi amawu kudzera pakusintha kwa digito-to-analogi kapena kutulutsa.

Mphamvu ya amplifier: Mphamvu yokulitsa mphamvu imatha kugawidwa kutsogolo ndi kumbuyo.Gawo lakutsogolo limayang'anira chizindikirocho kuchokera kugwero la audio, kuphatikiza, koma osati malire, kusintha kolowera, kukulitsa koyambirira, kusintha kwa mawu ndi ntchito zina.Cholinga chake chachikulu ndikupangitsa kuti kusokoneza kwa gwero la audio ndi kulowetsedwa kwa gawo lakumbuyo kumafananizidwa kuti muchepetse kupotoza, koma siteji yakutsogolo sichofunikira kwenikweni.Gawo lakumbuyo ndikukulitsa mphamvu yotulutsa siginecha ndi siteji yakutsogolo kapena gwero lamawu kuti muyendetse makina okweza mawu kuti atulutse mawu.

Loudspeaker (spika): Mayunitsi oyendetsa cha chowulira mawu ndi chosinthira ma electro-acoustic, ndipo magawo onse opangira ma siginecha amakonzedwa kuti akweze zokuzira mawu.Chidziwitso chowonjezera champhamvu chimasuntha kansalu kapepala kapena diaphragm kudzera pamagetsi, piezoelectric kapena electrostatic zotsatira kuyendetsa mpweya wozungulira kuti upangitse phokoso.Wokamba nkhani ndiye pothera pa zokuzira mawu.
