We publish a series of transcripts of our podcast "Sound» . One of the last conversations recorded during the show, is already out in the format post , but today we decided to go back to the the first issue (of 10.22.2013), in which Dmitry Kabanov and Timothy Shikolenko talk about how the idea of ​​recording this podcast debunk some of the myths related to the topic of audio, and talk about the often unknown to the masses, but the curious component of portable audio systems. < / a>

And it turns out that I meet with different people, not related to our subject, I start talking about that at all is: what [there] devices, which have the technology and new opportunities for people, and I see his eyes widening. And I have it every time, on the one hand, surprised and pleased I am to say something new, I added some quality of life. He now realizes something. On the other hand, I am upset because a huge number of people are just not aware of opportunities that provide technology in the field of music, in the field of sound to people who are passionate about it.

Dmitry:
When we started looking, what they do is, what form factor, functionality, I just decided to take a couple of weeks to learn it and the whole thing. When you begin to deal with small, for you to open the field of the unknown. But it's so addictive that I want to understand, to delve into these gadgets to see what is, what is not, to compare the prices. What does it mean that - will not. Is it better to carry a subway through that better listen to podcasts, and what better to put the house. Is it better to take as a portable boom box, if you can call it. Because I have a house, for example, do not even know what it's called right, is Jawbone-heater, which works via bluetooth and is connected to the normal mini-jack.

Timothy:
If you call it a "portable speakers" or "portable speakers" it is absolutely not clear what it is. And then there is all sorts of questions, and new terms. Those headphone amplifiers. When you talk to someone who is not aware of threads "Headphone Amplifier" smile is.

And often I see on the forums that people say, 'Here I am listening to, and there is not a sound one, basses are missing. " And swear headphones. And actually some good headphones. That is, they come home, they are connected to something "big" and hear all right. But the abuse is still somehow headphones. It turns out that the iPhone can not blame them. How to berate iPhone? It's their favorite gadget. On it someone for a long time saved up, someone wanted for a long time, waiting until the new model comes out.

Therefore, there is a misconception that if that's the main characteristics: power, frequency range, can be resistance - the same, hence, there is no difference at all. Here - big wheel, it - too big column. This is 10 000, it costs 50 000 rubles, the basic characteristics are identical, hence, there is no difference. So, is that 50 000 - it's just a "divorce suckers" for those who have a lot of money. They buy expensive, but not cheap.

Because after all, for the most part, it is - the youth audience, and the music there is corresponding. It is generally quite easy to play, so it is suitable for virtually any audio equipment, including cheap. If you go into audio formats, there can already use a variety of compression formats, the same mp3. It will still be more or less normally. That is, it turns out a bunch of cheap equipment - cheap in terms of production music.

The question is not what will be the material, and how to correctly apply: it forms, and a variety of additional materials that are used in the production. Complex engineering calculation. Not everyone understands that the speaker - is not just a box of wood, hewn boards of several rectangular size, which is inserted in the dynamics podkrucheny wires and everything. In fact it is not so simple.

Those who count it all - engineers with extensive experience, people tend to take it for life. Do not just enthusiastic, involved. It is - part of their lives. They behave differently represent. If you just take and put together a box anyhow, to take even the most expensive speakers to insert and connect, then immediately burn "beeper", ie the subwoofer, simply because they need to filter sound. Then, from medium- and low-frequency speaker can generally no sound to follow ... that is, he will, just that you will not hear it.

There is a huge number of subtleties. It seems that everything is very simple, but in reality things are very difficult. Each speaker, it is so unique as fingerprints. We are often stories that people hang out fun vecherochkom burned any speaker in any not cheap speaker, come to us. We sell speakers, including. They come to us and say: "And give the replacement».
