The speaker's audition skills

There is hardly any thing in the world that is more subjective than to evaluate a speaker with a sense of hearing. A sound many meal may become another audiophile poison. But the experience for the listener, they should have some basic points in common methods and conclusions.

But that is not to say that we must try to be consistent, and if you think that the most beautiful sound is the most powerful bass shock at the ball, it's up to him! "Buy lock like" this advice is the most straightforward, and do not make mistakes, but if you agree to the "accurate" as the ideal speaker, you will find the following information can help you find a good speaker. Here "accurate" is defined as: in the inevitable price and size limit, in the range of the possible wide frequency range of the original recording tone, tone, tone, dynamic and environmental details, the less the better. Of course, this definition is also a roundabout, indirect, because if you do not use a speaker to play out, how can you know how it is the original sound? If we choose an artistic record, we should assume that it can be reproduced as true as it was. Although recording devices (such as microphones) are inherently sound like speakers, there is little difference between a number of good recordings and a better sound quality than a fine and a mediocre speaker.

Nothing can replace experience, so it should take every opportunity to listen and compare the speakers. Remember listening environment is crucial, in listening is good should always use the amplifier or receiver and excellent components to reduce the variable, but you can be sure that even similar speakers, listening will find that sound different, far more than the discovery amplifier and the player have different more. If you use the a/b comparison test device, it has a set of direct connection to the two (or two) speakers of the switch, the test should be careful to do a balanced, that is, the volume of two sets of speakers to test the difference between 0.5 dB (here can only be used with an accurate sound pressure meter).

Another point must know: the position of the loudspeaker to sound the influence of surprise, so in the audition, you need to compare a group or a pair of speakers swap position, because the speaker is placed in a different position, it is related to the sound. But don't just rely on the a/b test, and listen to the sounds of their voices.

It is obviously important to listen to the material, to select some of the records, the choice of the main points is not based on his music, but according to the recording is accurate, but also to show the quality of a particular aspect.
