For the Tek-a-nickle types

Thats mid song.   Natalie Merchant Carnival is the song.    Thats from 2meters off face.    Granted, thats using the phone’s microphone (see update midpost) so it ain’t calibrated to any degree of accuracy and there may be a certain ‘tuning’ to it.  (That spike at 10K is what I am suspecting is ‘tuned in’, seeing how most people can’t hear that frequency very well and it IS known as a comm signal between remote computerized systems.    SO,,,,   I’m not ruling out that there is some spike in the ‘speaker’ at the 10K point, but I am thinking its more the microphone,,,,ALSO; the phone is suspended from a Desklamp frame; kinda sorta isolated from external vibration.   (really wish I had my Smaartlive and CALIBRATED microphones still.    Sold them to a buddy in the system when I got out.)

STILL,,, Look at that profile there.   Not DEAD FLAT, but between 100hz and 1000hz, its RIGHT THERE.    Those are the most active areas people ‘hear’ with the brighter stuff just polishing off the mix and bringing out the distinctness of instruments and vocals.   Was even seeing tonals below 100hz.

And then,,,,,

Mehndohlson Nocturne

Note that 10K hump is seriously reduced,,,, May have been something residual in the first recording.  Also note that things drop down below 100hz quite well (and can be heard, down to around 70,    Set up a crossover at 98hz and you have full range,,,,)

That 10K hump is back,,, HighHat, China’s,,,, dunno, something in the cymbals range though,,,,,

Tell me that these speakers aren’t amazing,,, Not kidding, toss in a subwoofer and these things rival the $1000+/each studio monitors I have heard.   NOT MATCH: RIVAL, even putting some of those high dollar Yamaha speakers I loved to shame. 

(Note: all sounds played through single channel,  same speaker same amp settings and eq flat. Power supply is 12dcv by battery bank so ZERO ac hum.  My house is reflective free (by design) for the most part (unless the bathroom door is open)

(updated after first draft: took phone out of case after I had uploaded all these screenshots.   The signal description flattened out even further and that 10k hump smoothed out near flat with a beginning roll off around 15k.   That is pretty typical of MP3 source, which are what I was playing.  The case was ‘amplifying’ the 10k range, while hindering the 1200=10k rang with a dead spot at 6k.)

OK<3  nuff with borin’ y’all.    I will have the new drivers here in a couple days, and then I set up a permenant install.   I WILL DO A PICTORAL OF THAT BUILD. I’m forgoing the Sub at this time (money issue: as in, I need to be more frugal with my spending for a while.)  BUT, it is definitely on the schedule of events in the near future. (along with a 2.1 amplifier so I have dedictated outputs for all speakers, not a mix-match of amplfiers,,, more for simplicity,,,, If I really wanted my dream system, I would be running a McCauley Monarc6 line array with doubled dual 21″ subs and a rack of amplifiers and processors to include a 7 band parametric with sweepable mid ranges.(all three mids,,,,)   (FYI,,, what I just described is a quarter million dollar system.)   (and if you own a system like that, you RUN IT,,, you don’t sound off at your house on the weekends with it.  Systems like that make money,,,,,)(and I just found out that McCauley no longer produces the line array systems, 😦     )
