To measure where a speaker has resonance, you’ll want to look for areas where vibrations are strongest. Here’s a step-by-step method to locate these resonant spots and add weight to reduce vibrations and improve sound quality. 1. Use a Tone Generator Start by playing a sine wave sweep (a slow increase in frequency) through the speaker, using a tone generator app or software. Play through low, mid, and high frequencies (e.g., start at around 20 Hz and gradually increase to 200 Hz or higher, depending on your speaker's range). Resonance often appears at specific frequencies; you’ll notice increased vibration at these points. 2. Identify Resonant Frequencies with Your Hand or a Laser Vibrometer Hand Testing: Place your hand lightly on different parts of the speaker's surface, like the frame, cone, and cabinet, as it plays different frequencies. You should feel vibrations getting stronger at specific points and frequencies. Laser Vibrometer (if available): A laser vibrometer can measure vibration intensity more accurately, showing exactly where resonances are highest. This tool can be more precise for fine-tuning placement. 3. Observe Cabinet and Cone Vibrations Resonances often occur in the cabinet walls or near joints and edges. Also, check the speaker cone-sometimes certain areas may vibrate more, especially at higher volumes. Mark these points with a non-permanent marker so you can locate them later. 4. Add Weight to Dampen Resonance Add small weights or damping material (like modeling clay, acoustic putty, or adhesive lead weights) directly to the resonant points you identified. Try adding weight gradually and test the speaker after each addition. You’ll likely notice the vibrations and resonances diminishing. Placement Tips: For cabinet resonance, place weights on the cabinet walls or in corners. For cone resonance, add very small weights at specific points on the cone edge, balancing symmetrically to avoid affecting the speaker's movement. 5. Test with Music or Audio Play some music or audio content after adding weights to check for any unwanted changes in sound. Make adjustments as needed by removing or repositioning weights until you find the ideal balance. This method helps control speaker resonance without overly affecting audio output, improving clarity by balancing and dampening unwanted vibrations.

What stands are this under the silver 50?

I see a lot of expensive equipment, but why play music from your tab? Build a proper PC with a linear power supply and add a dedicated USB card like a PPA or something else to connect to your DAC, then tweak the system and software for optimal audio playback. What a good audio source can do is extremely underestimated!

how do you know where to put this small weight

Cool, wieder mal neuer Content, sehr schön Thierry. Die MA Silver 500 tönt super, schon ohne Klangoptimierung, ein absoluter Bargain, aber so.... ein +10K Boxen-Killer💥

Is the 500 silver 7 g good for home Theater sir ?

What loudspeaker stands are those.

In your opinion is the Gryphon Diablo 300 better than the Naim New Classic 200 (Nsc 222, Nap 250 and Npx 300) for a couple of Focal Utopia Scala Evo?

do they kick with bass ?

a lot of money for almost nothing.-I can get almost the same for much less money.

All speakers above 200 dollars sound good with this kind of simple instrumental music.

o Amplificador Integrado Musical Fidelity M6si forma um bom par com essas caixas?

Amps sound great

I’m listening to this through $5000 headphones it sounds like heaven

What are the 2 uncovered units at each end?

Belle qualité sonore👂❤

very nice but not so real

Very nice

If only I could listen to MUSIC, it would be good...

what's with all the brass bolts on everything?

Was this the bass from the speakers or did you have a subwoofer on? Because this sounded amazing

I would say these new naim series offer a lot of detail resolution.

Focal 👍

Акустика 👍 можно другую музыку на них слушать

Басов много👍

The gear in that room could buy you a house for life lol

Are those the Synergistiq dots? Please let me know.

Très bonne écoute mais je ne suis pas fan des électroniques Naïm 😮

D'accord pour les enceintes Focal mais je ne suis pas un grand fan des électroniques Naïm 🤔

Уважаемый автор ролика, почти в каждом ролике акустика чем то обклеена в виде пуговиц,? Что это такое и для чего это, что то типа гармонизатора звука,?

PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!

hello, can you tell me what kind of acoustic is this? play very well ! Thanks

👍🎶👌

Is that song called Adios Pancho Villa? sounds familiar

Still no e-arc input, no large display nor touchscreen or anything new in 2023. This is a retarded technology sold at premium price. I will stick to my NAD M10V2

The camera makes me dizzy!

What power amps ?

Das klingt fantastisch, Gratulation!

I have the rx silver , thinking of geting the amp. Does it have enough power fpr these speaker hard to say just by listning to this video without any comments

Mene više zanima koja je marka zvučnika koji se nalaze iza Monitora..

Accelorometer marks on the cabinet?

What is the point of this. I am just listening to the speaker in my computer. Posts like this are just spam.

Really this "demo" would actually be useful if a) you played the same music for each speaker - preferably real music that has actual bass and treble not just audiophile recordings that don't give much if any insight to how the speakers sounds b) you stopped wandering around the room showing off cables etc and stick to the actual listening window that people are likely to be in in their homes. You can't tell anything from how a speaker will sound in any given room by how it sounds from the back, top or the sides. In fact you can't make any evaluation at all as to how a speaker will sound in another room from any recording of it in a different room. The best these "demos" can hope to acheive is to provide a relative comparison of how two speakers sound in a given acoustic environment and currently they're failing even to achieve that because you use different music and wander all over the place when recording.

What is the wooden jumper on the back of the Sopra 2 considering them having only single speaker binding posts ... Thanks in advance ...

❤

Not seen any reviews of the Atol, how is it/app etc?

Very hard edged in upper mids/lower treble due to peaking at around the 2khz region off axis. That gives a sense of clarity but will take toll after sometime. Soundstage isnt that wide either.

choice of song--sucks

For the love of God and all that is holy; could someone please tell me what that haemorrhoid is doing there!
