Regardless of the music style, the design of Recital-Audio speaker system ensures accurate and balanced listening in the "standard" living room or Car compartment. However, some simple suggestions can optimize listening to explore all the qualities of speakers.
Work piece impact
From the perspective of acoustics, the hearing area is often ignored and plays a leading role in the final sound perception. It must be regarded as a complete link in the high fidelity chain. In other words, poor indoor sound can seriously degrade the overall performance of high fidelity systems.
Like a sound shield. All rooms have their own characteristics, or more accurately "room acoustics", which affects tone balance and sound image.
But what do we mean by indoor acoustics? All dimensions, surfaces, shapes, materials, objects and furniture in your room or compartment help to create a unique, more or less reverberating acoustic effect; The characteristics of this acoustics will depend on your perception of sound and music.
Spatial optimization
Excessive reverberation can degrade the sound image and highlight some frequencies (midrange and treble) at the expense of sound quality; It may make hearing blurred and aggressive. On the other hand, a room that is too "deaf mute" or "buffered" will give people a feeling of suffocation because its plates are not embossed. Therefore, in order to make full use of the potential of high fidelity speakers, the acoustics in your room must be neither too strong nor too weak.
This advice applies not only to high fidelity listening, but also to daily life; For example, an overly reverberating room can also unpleasant highlight daily noise and sound, making it invasive.
In most cases, indoor acoustics is too reverberant; This problem can be easily solved by adding more or less absorbent furniture, articles, plants and materials. For example:
Carpets on tile or parquet floors, ideally placed between the monitoring point and the high fidelity speakers, will increase the proportion of absorbent materials in your room and help reduce reverberation.
Various CDs, books and decorative items on furniture and / or bookshelves will promote the diffraction and scattering of sound waves and reduce the impact of "table tennis" or floating echoes.
For large-area glass, thick curtain wall and double curtain wall will play an important role in limiting the amplitude of direct reflection and accelerating reverberation attenuation.
Direction
Due to passive PM filtering, all acoustic enclosures in our range have low and uniform directivity. This feature ensures balanced music replay, even outside the usual listening area.
In fact, Recital Audio acoustic speakers can be placed perpendicular to the rear wall or clamped towards the listener without significant impact on tone balance and perception of music scene.
Location
All rooms have different acoustic characteristics in terms of size, furniture, materials, articles, decoration, etc; More or less reverberation has its own resonance (standing wave).
Therefore, there is no strict rule applicable to all "configured" hearing rooms - Acoustic speakers. However, factors related to positioning will change sound perception and improve the listening quality of speakers when appropriate;
Near enclosure / wall
The distance between the acoustic enclosure and the wall affects the low-frequency perception of the listening point. In fact, bringing the acoustic enclosure closer to the wall will result in a higher level of perception in the severe and mid bass domains. Conversely, when the enclosure is away from the wall, the amplitude of these frequencies decreases.
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to place the acoustic enclosure directly in the corner or a few centimeters away from the wall. This will result in a severe excess of registers, resulting in a masking effect. However, in special cases, if the structure of the room is not typical or the acoustics is very "clear", it can be agreed to derogate from this rule.
Listening point
Standing waves generated locally may cause inconvenience to hearing. Depending on the location, their effect is to produce a sudden change in sound level at low frequencies (pitch and abdomen). Then, moving the auditory point a few centimeters can significantly change the perceived severity. Therefore, in order to obtain a balanced bass range, some tests can be carried out by making the listening point close to or away from the acoustic speaker.
Distance
The successful development of high-end enclosures requires consideration of various parameters: acoustic, mechanical, geometric and electrical. Because time optimization takes into account not only the inherent electrical phase of each speaker, but also the physical offset between them relative to the convergence point, your Recital-Audio acoustic speakers can go further. In fact, the phase calculation is to ensure that the speaker works completely synchronously under the condition of relative zero phase.
In addition, due to the PM filter, the speaker benefits from the transition frequency that helps to limit the impact of physical phase offset. In other words, your soundproof speaker can cover a very large listening area, and its phase changes little with distance and listening height.
