![]() But hey, if am going to play speaker designer with equalization, why did I pay the factory $4,000?ĪTC is another "PRO" company producing hi-fi speaker. This has minimal impact on amount of bass but nicely eliminated the woofer from bottoming out (and getting seriously distorted). Suspecting that the problem was deep bass, I dialed in Band 3 which cuts out the lowest bass registers. Was happy for 10 seconds until I turned up the volume and the woofer bottomed out! I thought for sure it could handle that 2 dB peak. First thing I did was put in a low shelf to boost the bass: So I pull up the EQ in my Roon player and put on my surgical outfit to fix what shouldn't need fixing. I turned up the volume but now the mids and highs were getting quite loud and annoying.Īt this point I stop and get the measurements and see the lack of bass. What? Where is the bass? What is that woofer doing? It sure is not moving much. I thought, "oh yeh, this is going to be good!" Then the vocals came. They sounded like they were jumping out of the speaker and reaching toward me. The "5 second" impression was an incredible presentation of high frequency notes. So this time as the system was crunching the equations I did precisely that, fully biased on the incredible heft of the speaker and beefy speakers expecting to be blown away by the dynamics. You all keep asking me to listen to the speaker before measuring. This so called spinorama shows us just about everything we need to know about the speaker with respect to tonality and some flaws: This made a tiny difference (likely due to size of the speaker and my measurement distance).Īcoustic measurements can be grouped in a way that can be perceptually analyzed to determine how good a speaker can be used. The manual for SCM19 states that the acoustic center is between the tweeter and woofer rings so I compensated for that by lowering the measurement center to be 4 centimetres lower. I usually use the tweeter center as the measurement axis. I used over 800 measurement point which was sufficient to compute the sound field of the speaker. ![]() In a nutshell, the measurements show the actual sound coming out of the speaker independent of the room. Both of these factors enable testing in ordinary rooms yet results that can be more accurate than an anechoic chamber. It also measures the speaker at close distance ("near-field") which sharply reduces the impact of room noise. This is a robotic measurement system that analyzes the speaker all around and is able (using advanced mathematics and dual scan) to subtract room reflections (so where I measure it doesn't matter). Measurements that you are about to see were performed using the Klippel Near-field Scanner (NFS).

The exterior serves as walnut finishing." Moreover, an unnecessary vibration is eliminated using a 36-mm-thick baffle board. The aluminum plate of thick meat is stretched and put on the bottom of a cabinet, while preventing harmful resonance, the stability of an installation side is strengthened, and also it is considered as the structure which can also use a spike. The large-sized empty core coil and the high proof-pressure metallized polypropylene capacitor are used for the network part. The input terminal of a Woofer / tweeter independence is adopted, and bi-wiring connection and a by amplifier drive are possible. ![]() ![]() The 2.5cm soft dome shape tweeter is carried in the high region. In the magnetic circuit which set the length of the gap as 20mm, several usual times, this unit has the structure where the short voice coil of 8mm width moves, and has realized the high linearity and the low distortion. The 18cm corn type Woofer is carried in low-pass. "The speaker system which adopted the Tallboy type enclosure as the base for SCN20.Ī basic design and content volume are the same as SCN20, and the retreat zone equivalent to a stand is pure - it places and sound tuning is given as a base.
