I was simply talking about the diagnostic procedure that is used once the resonance is heard during listening tests. I was simply suggesting that once an issue is reported/heard it is easier to understand the cause and severity by using a slow sweep instead of repeatedly listening a certain section of a track.
I replied to
@Toblerone in my YT video comment section. But I'll reply here as well.
I did, in fact, do what you're talking about. At least to some degree. I have a signal generator app on my iPhone (
link) that I use for things like this as well as finding room modes and identifying trouble areas in my listening tests. It's much easier to pick a frequency on the app than run a sweep over and over again, hoping to identify the frequency. I use the app to manually sweep and then when I hear something that sounds off (or what I am listening for) then I'll slow down and go back over those frequencies until I nail down a specific frequency or range.
With that said: In my testing for this issue, using the signal generator at varying volume, I didn't find any such resonance. I suggested he look into the speaker's mechanical parts to make sure nothing was out of sorts. Which he said he did, to no avail. I find that these issues can often be caused by a) debris falling into the VC/magnet gap or b) asymmetry of suspension (but usually only at extreme excursion).
Again, no issues on mine. No one replying to the video has mentioned this issue. I bought mine from Amazon and they came BNIB. I didn't see anything about it on the Googles-web, either. From what I can tell,
@Toblerone has a faulty unit. Hopefully he can send it back for replacement.
