Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen

[fpitas]

Crazy I can handle. If you want me to gag, Jazz, country or schlager will do the trick.

Never heard of schlager before this. The More You Know...

That's German "modern" folk. I cannot bear most of it.

I have a friend who does semi-pro mastering for voice actors and still uses genelecs 1022A from 1990 without problem. I'm not sure where the myth of fragile active speakers comes from.

Possibly from ones not made by Genelec?

Well, possibly Behringer is to blame:

Behringer B2031A Measurement (broken sample?)

Hey you all. Just finished measuring the Behringer B2031A. This is the spin: Even in-room measurements without NFS scan showed the same massive trough. Before I contact them, is there some config option that could cause this? I left all the filters at 0 (as shipped). Near-field tweeter...

I'd say buy things that are long on the market like Genelec and Neumann(K+H), exhibit caution with others

For steel, cryogenic treatment actually results in an increase in resistance, more than doubling in some cases. Cryogenic treatment was developed as a way to increase hardness and wear resistance in tool metals. This is just another example of audiophile snake-oil merchants latching onto something they don’t understand because they know the gullible fools they sell to will be equally clueless.

I find the bar locking/measuring system curious. Could the resistive measurement in milliohms through two copper rods have given incorrect values since they were different materials/conductivities? It's just curiosity.

oooh, there are many superb Schlagers, e.g.

it's actually sad that German's culture is almost totally dead

Sounds like Polka.

Sounds like Polka.

the instrumental parts of a Schlager are not really inspiring, quite often it's just a sort of monotone background-sound. A good one is mostly about good vocals and excellent lyrics: poetry, philosophy, story telling ... and often hard to translate between cultures.

E.g., the schlager linked above is about sharing good greek wine with friends ... one can hardly go wrong with that

For a resistance that low, I would want a 4-wire Kelvin connected fixture. Individual force and sense leads separately connected to the DUT (Device Under Test) are mandatory for an accurate measurement of that low a resistance.

Behringer is to blame for a lot of things.

Also for your late reply?

Better late than never? Behringer has been bad about infant mortality. My first DEQ2496 was a basket case from the factory.

that's because the cryo treatment took longer than expected ..

You can't rush quality!

 

[lashto]

nice find and quite a carbon-copy by Mr Bing. The only change was to eliminate the word 'greek'
And lost the whole far-away, greek-beach-town-in-the-summer atmosphere .. yep, not easy to 'translate' those things.

Mine crapped out soon after I got it too. It sits unused in the garage. It appears to be well made inside, and I'm at a loss as to what's wrong with it. Nothing looks burned. Power supply appears to be working normally.

The only Behringer thing I ever owned, I murdered myself by trying to hack a useless new power supply in it
