Edifier MR4 measurements (It's probably been upgraded.)

[audiochan]

Hi, do you hear that peak at lower volumes or is it only on the loud stuff (or transient bursts, like the loud explosions you mention)?

The MR4 is a nice, flat, speaker but it can't do loud. It's possible that what you are hearing is distortion - and some people are more sensitive to that.

i have the knob at around 40% i would say i listen at moderate to low volumes, i use monitor mode and just found out knobs behind only work for music mode

Strange, for me the knobs work in both modes.
Without the sub, I was using Monitor mode with bass knob at the max value.

I'm not sure what's happening with your speakers. It could be a nasty off-angle reflection, unit variation issue or even your sensitivity to a particular frequency range.

Try to figure out the offending frequency range, or better, measure your speakers at the listening position using a measurement mic. Dayton imm6 costs 40 bucks.

Yes, and Erin measured their impact on his NFS.
Check the "Tonality Adjustments" section in his review https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/edifier_mr4/

I’m not OP but I want to chime in and say I got my MR4’s 2 months ago and use them 99% of the time in monitor mode: the dials on the back work just fine, they change the audio as expected in music mode as well.

Note that this is with either RCA or 3.5mm in, don’t currently have a balanced out source to test but I suspect the treble and bass dials would work the same.

I've used them with RCA and TRS and tone controls work with both music and monitor mode.

The same applies to my MR4s too.

• I come from China, the domestic price of mr4 is only 435rmb, I am very shocked to see your price
