    How NOT to set up speakers and room treatment ( Goldensound)

    I watched the video now and didn't find many faults with the information he gave, he has obviously done his homework for the most part. And he was also showing what every added treatment did with measurements, and it was clear that he got the result he was aiming for. The video is good, I don't...

    How NOT to set up speakers and room treatment ( Goldensound)

    Is it the positions of the loudspeakers you want to locate in your listening room, or is it the spatial cues in the actual recording you want to hear? For me, it's the latter. I want to get a clearer view of what’s in the recording, both the direct sounds of the instruments and the spatial cues...

    How NOT to set up speakers and room treatment ( Goldensound)

    That's why you should start making measurements, then look at the measurement to know what type of absorbers the room needs to even out the reverberation time over the frequency spectrum. It's not a good idea to add absorbers that will mostly be effective for a frequency area that is already in...

    What's Left In Speaker Design To Reduce Distortion/Increase Detail Retrieval?

    The standard is set in video production, and we can assume that most people working with video have their monitors calibrated to the conditions of their environment. So if we do the exact calibration at home, we will receive the colores as intended. But I find it somewhat questionable how...

    What's Left In Speaker Design To Reduce Distortion/Increase Detail Retrieval?

    Two capturing points are all that is needed for a distance to occur between them on the horizontal plane, and the distance to the sound sources will capture the distance that we hear as depth. Those two distances will be enough to capture both width and depth and will together capture the...

    Buchardt A10 Active Speakers

    The longevity seems to be questionable with solid wood cabinets, especially for us who lives in areas with a lot of temperature and humidity changes over the year. There are a lot of changes to my wooden neck guitars over the year, I often hear creaks and cracks from them when they have stayed...

    What's Left In Speaker Design To Reduce Distortion/Increase Detail Retrieval?

    I know, this video has an intentionally provocative title, but Klaus Heinz from HEDD Audio is talking about the same thing you do, and other interesting things. :)

    What's Left In Speaker Design To Reduce Distortion/Increase Detail Retrieval?

    People can set up their stereo speakers in all kinds of funny ways, and they can have an awful-sounding room caused by really bad acoustics, so we should probably not even consider those types of faults because that will bring a lot of outside factors into the game. If we instead follow the...

    What's Left In Speaker Design To Reduce Distortion/Increase Detail Retrieval?

    Your initial question was: "Accuracy to the recording or accuracy to what is heard in the studio?" To me, that is the same thing, because there is in most cases no "complete music file" or a "final record" before it is heard, mixed, and finalized in the studio. 1. That final record, i.e. the...

    What's Left In Speaker Design To Reduce Distortion/Increase Detail Retrieval?

    Can you explain to me what "the recording" is before it is heard and mixed in the studio?

    Munich Hi-End

    A guy at another forum I'm a member of wants to know the music used in the Wilson Audio demo at the Munich High-End Show. The song starts at around 20 seconds in the video and no luck with Shazam. Does anyone here know what it is?

    What's Left In Speaker Design To Reduce Distortion/Increase Detail Retrieval?

    Just a thought or two... If I remember this right, you have your speakers set up wider than an equilateral triangle. Nothing wrong with that if that's your preference, but it's possible you have sacrificed a little bit of that pinpoint accuracy that the stereo image will have when two speakers...

    New mysterious Genelec monitors

    Not sure which exact model you are thinking about, but the 3-way ATCs I have are neutral and not midrange-forward. And the measurements of their other three-way speakers don't show many traces of that either. Maybe you think the ATC speakers you've heard were "midrange-forward" just because of...

    New mysterious Genelec monitors

    Most ATC speakers are not "midrange heavy", just the old version of SCM19 that Amir did measure a while ago. That one is the odd one out, don't spread a myth created by some members at this forum. :)

    New Neumann MA 1 - Automatic Monitor Alignment

    What are you expecting the guys from Neumann to say about that, do you think they will say that the user of ATC is right about the "too gentle in the mids" with the Neumann speakers? :) I have a question about Neumann's software, is the Automatic Monitor Alignment only automatic adjustments...

    New mysterious Genelec monitors

    This speaker comes in three separate pieces, how much do they each weigh and could they be lifted up piece by piece to the Klippel system?

    How loud do you like your music?

    With the recommended Steely Dan song I landed at about 76-77 dB on average, at that level I think I could easily listen all day long (if I liked Steely Dan). :) But with different recordings, the average level I prefer depends on what the particular music contains. If it's vocal-focused music I...

    In-room speakers target curve

    I’m not sure your measurement can be trusted, at 4 meters distance and a rise like that, the speakers should sound very bright. What did you use for your measurement, did you use one of those small microphone you attach directly to your phone? You should probably not make any adjustments based...

    They would destroy the look of that trailer with a good margin. :)

    Speakers that are unforgiving of poor-quality recordings - is that a thing?

    Exactly, the answer can be both yes and no, it all depends on what’s wrong with the recording and if the particular fault is bothering you or not. In many ways, I think most things sound better on my main HiFi system, but at the same time, I can easily hear how things are recorded, mixed, and...
