Yes, it is business as normal here at Chasing Tone. Brian has an idea for an amp and the fellers may just be on to something. Richard takes us through the un-boxing of his new drum Kit having completely forgotten he talked about elements of this last week because he is both old and an idiot but he has had an epiphany. What is the perfect ratio of amplifiers to guitars? Richard finds himself unusually short.Someone made a mistake and accidentally discounted a suite of plugins and the guys discuss consumer expectations and trying to get one over on the man. Somehow this involves some British folklore from the 1990s and the guys invent a dangerous new sport.Water cooled amplifiers, Hoover free flights, Quiche, Bad career advice, Vegetable wars, Eddie Vedder Tele, Subwoofer flatulence...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!Awesome TrueFire Offer for listeners! 14-day FREE All Access trial – Full access.

Moderne Fernseher haben wegen ihrer flachen Bauweise meist nur dünn klingende Lautsprecher. Während das schicke OLED die Actionszene bildgewaltig darstellt, klingt die Explosion wie durch einen Joghurtbecher. Satte Bässe? Fehlanzeige! Damit Bild und Ton in derselben Liga spielen, muss man aufrüsten. Wir erklären, wie man in den Sound-Aufbau einsteigt, sinnvoll aufrüstet und was es dabei zu beachten gibt. Zudem klären wir die wichtigste Frage, nämlich, wie man die Anlage so gestaltet und einstellt, dass es keinen Ärger mit den Nachbarn gibt: Interessanterweise ist dabei mehr manchmal weniger. In c't 7/2024 lesen Sie einen Praxisartikel zum Einmessen von Lautsprechern und AV-Receivern.

My guest this week is the On-Demand songwriter and mastering engineer Mitchell Dyer, who's on a mission to help other songwriters eliminate their mental blocks and turn their songwriting struggles into a revenue-generating career.  With nearly two decades of songwriting and mastering experience, thousands of artists songs reviewed, and hundreds of songs personally recorded, Mitch has helped dozens of artists break out of their own mental jail.   During the interview, we spoke about what causes songwriters to get stuck, how imposter syndrome can cause writers block, the importance of challenging the listener, learning how to master, and much more.  I spoke with Mitch via Zoom from his studio in Utah. On the intro I'll take a look at how AM/FM radio is changing, and what you need to know to set up your subwoofer. var podscribeEmbedVars = { epId: 85284044, backgroundColor: 'white', font: undefined, fontColor: undefined, speakerFontColor: undefined, height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true, showTimestamps: true };

Welcome back from your Holiday break! This week we have a review of the SVS Soundbase Pro. A powerful and compact integrated amplifier that should be on any music lover's short list of products to buy in 2023. CES started this week but due to the timing of our show schedule we'll have that for you next week. We also have a backlog of your emails as well as the week's news. News: YouTube Wins Rights to NFL Sunday Ticket LG's 2023 OLED TVs: smarter, lighter, and significantly brighter Roku does the obvious thing and announces its own TV line SVS Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase A few weeks ago we had Gary Yacoubian and Nick Brown of SVS on the show talking about their new Wireless Pro line of products. The Prime Wireless Pro Powered Speakers are a feature rich set of powered speakers which are available for $899.99 for the pair. The Prime Wireless Pro Soundbase is a smart wireless integrated amplifier that will add connectivity options to your older beloved speakers that were never dreamed of when they were originally built.  Ara owned the original version of the Soundbase for years and was extremely satisfied with sound but it lacked an important feature for him, Apple Airplay 2 support. The new Soundbase Pro fixed that issue and added many more features making the upgrade no-brainer. The original Soundbase cost $500, the new version costs $200 more. You may be asking, is the new Pro worth $200 more? The answer is yes! And we'll tell you why.  The full specs are: Amplifier Specs 300 Watt (150 watts x 2) Class-D Power Amp Acoustic Data Rated Bandwidth: 10Hz-20kHz (±1 dB) SN Ratio: 90dB @1V input, 2 x 150W output Power Amp: 300 watts RMS (150 watts x 2 into 4ohm) Input Specs HDMI audio input. Supports ARC and eARC Left/Right RCA Input: Input Impedance: 20K 3.5mm Aux Input: Input Impedance: 20K Toslink Optical Input: S/PDIF receiver works at a wide range of sampling frequencies up to 96kHz Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC and aptX 6 front panel presets for one-touch access to music services and playlists Ethernet USB service port also for powering wireless accessories (See SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter) 3.5mm IR control input Wireless Streaming Options DTS Play-Fi: Lossless 192kHz/24-bit via Critical Listening Mode over WiFi Apple Airplay 2 for iPhones and iOS devices, Chromecast for Android Phones and Devices: CD Quality Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC and aptX Spotify Connect WiFi Connectivity for Wireless Streaming - Native control via Apple Airplay 2 for iPhone and iOS, Spotify Connect, & Google Chromecast for Android Phones and Devices App-Based Control over WiFi - Smartphone, tablet, or PC control with the DTS Play-Fi app 6 Custom Presets - 6 custom preset buttons on the front panel and remote provide instant access to your favorite podcast, playlist, streaming station, or other content, with a single touch. Voice Control - Alexa, Siri, and Google voice commands via supported devices Setup Like the previous Sounbase, setup was simple. The first thing to do was get the unit onto your wifi and for that you need to download and use the DTS Play-Fi app. You will need to use this app if you want to listen to your music at 192kHz/24-bit for lossless streaming. More on that in a bit. You can also pair your devices via Bluetooth if you choose. Our primary listening mode was wifi for Airplay 2 and DTS Play Fi. We did, however, connect our MacBook Pro to the Sounbase via Bluetooth so we could listen via AAC just for comparison. Unfortunately Apple removed a developer option to allow you to connect via AptX so we were not able to evaluate this codec.  You can also use an RCA, 3.5mm, HDMI (Arc and eARC) or Toslink Optical to connect external devices to the SoundBase. There is also a Subwoofer output in case you want to connect a subwoofer. We could not find at what frequency the amp is crossed over for the subwoofer. The SoundBase also has an Ethernet jack for a hardwired connection to your network and a USB port for firmware upgrades. The other thing worth noting is that the Soundbase Pro is small! It roughly measures 12X12X6 inches. It can fit anywhere. Also new for the Pro is a 3.15” wide display that will show you what is playing should you feel the need to walk up to it and look. The display lights can be dimmed or turned off making the front panel completely black. A great feature if you are using the amp to power some speakers for your TV. Performance Our listening was performed on CSS Audio Criton 2D speakers that Ara built a while back. They have great frequency response and good tight bass. We primarily listened to Heart Like a Truck by Lainey Wilson and Unholy by Sam Smith and Kim Petras (warning you won't get this song out of your head when you hear it!). We also mixed in other songs that we are very familiar with for specific segments that we thought would push the Soundbase.   What can we say? We have come to expect high quality sound from SVS and the new Soundbase Pro delivers! It takes everything we loved about the original Soundbase and adds the features we were clambering for in the original.  The amplifier has plenty of power and it was put to the test. Ara's neighbors can attest to that. It's probably more power than you will need but hey, it's always good to have power. They will drive anything from desktop to tower speakers with ease. Sound quality is excellent, as good as any two channel amp that we have used. Details come alive and are bright. One complaint we had was there is no way to adjust the treble. With my speakers the brightness of the sound was exaggerated at times.  Then it was time to have fun with test tones. Many amps can go low but can they rattle walls? This one can! To the point where Ara's wife walked into the room asking if he was trying to shake things off of the shelves in the room next door. Speakers matter here so your results will vary depending on whether your speakers can handle low frequencies. Our testing went down to 20 hertz where it pushed the Criton 2Ds to its limits. One complaint we had about the original Soundbase was a lack of Remote Control. SVS heard us and now includes a remote that allows you to select inputs, presets and control the volume from the comfort of your seat.  If you want to make use of the Critical Listening (192kHz/24-bit lossless streaming) mode you need to download the DTS Play-Fi app which is easy enough. But that's where the ease stops. The DTS app is cumbersome to use and not intuitive. But once you figure it out you can activate the Critical Listening mode by tapping the Hi-Res button and listen in Hi-Res.  After listening via wifi and Airplay2 we switched over to Tidal. And the best way to describe the experience was that it sounded “louder and more defined”. It's not like we could hear frequencies that we couldn't before. Its more like it sounded clearer and more detailed with a fuller bass. You could feel the kick drum in your chest. We could feel this with AAC as well but it's hard to explain, the Hi-Res just seemed to have a more pronounced impact.  We really wish we didn't need a Tidal subscription and could listen to Hi-Res via Apple Music! Conclusion The new Soundbase Pro takes everything we loved about the original and then adds a bunch of great features. After spending time with it, you'll wonder how SVS packed all these features into a small yet powerful amp! If you are really into music you probably have some speakers that you really love. Odds are they are not wireless though. The SVS Prime Wireless SoundBase brings those speakers into the connected era with enough power to drive anything from bookshelf to towers. This is a great addition to any music lover's setup. But hey, you don't have to believe us. SVS offers a 45 day risk free in home trial with free shipping both ways. We will wager that if you try it you won't ship it back!

On today's show we define “Reference Level” and what it means for your home theater and we look at the 9 things you need to consider if you are in the market for a new TV. We also read your emails and look at the news stories of the week. News: Sonos acquisition fuels new headphone rumors The cheapest 2022 Samsung MicroLED TV will reportedly cost $80,000 Samsung Display apparently struggling with QD-OLED production Streaming device wars: Smart TV viewing time surges, dongles see first-ever decline Other: Join the Neat Exchange - Social Media for Whiskey Drinkers Ara's Woodworking Join the Flaviar Whisky Club and get a free bottle Mike's Star Wars Inspired Home Theater Reference Level Reference level is a calibrated volume setting used for movie production, Sound and dubbing stages, and movie theaters (and now the home theater) A reference is critical if the mix is to translate from one production house to another and audiences are to hear the director's intent in terms of the balance in the soundtrack between dialog, effects and ambiance. So how do we set up a theater for Reference? Reference level for all channels except the subwoofer is calibrated by adjusting the gain of each channel when a pink noise signal recorded at -20dB relative to full scale (0dB) is played through the system and measures 85dB with a C weighted sound pressure meter at the seating locations. This is what your receiver's auto calibration tries to do.  What is Pink Noise? To answer that we have to tell you what white noise is. White noise consists of an equal amount of every frequency, all played at once. If you are old enough to remember “snow” on TVs that had no signal. That was white noise. Pink noise is essentially bass-boosted white noise, where the amplitude decreases as the frequencies get higher. It got its name thanks to the pink / violet hues present at the lowest frequencies of light. This is the perceptually ‘balanced' white noise that many of us are comfortable with; After each channel is individually adjusted until they read 85dB. The master volume control setting associated with this playback level is then set to a nominal 0dB, or reference level. The history behind this is that sound engineers and producers generally work so that the average recording level for dialog in movie soundtrack is -20dB. This allows for 20dB of dynamic range in the soundtrack. The Subwoofer is calibrated higher, so that a -20dB signal reaches 95dBC at the seating locations. In the home it works slightly differently. Most receivers have calibration test tones used for level setting that are recorded at -30dB relative to full scale. Using these tones the level of individual speakers are adjusted to 75dB at the seating position.  That is 10db less than movie theaters and sound stages. Can my speakers and subwoofer support reference levels? If your system is properly calibrated to output 85dB for a -20dB signal at the seats then the speakers and amplifiers could be asked to produce 105dB for a 0dB signal.  The Subwoofer is handled slightly differently and has a 10dB boost relative to the other channels. The maximum SPL that subwoofers could be asked to reproduce from the low frequency effects track is therefore 115dB at the seats.  More than likely the typical home theater setup will not handle reference levels. But that is OK. Most of us don't need that level of sound. If you have a theater with a large volume you should look for a set of highly efficient speakers specifically designed to handle reference levels. You may also need a better receiver to achieve this as well.  TV buying guide: 9 things you need to know In the market for a new TV, and feeling overwhelmed? This TV buying guide is here to help.  If you've been browsing in-store or online for a new TV, you might have found yourself a bit confused by huge selection of different technologies, features and functionality that come with buying a TV in 2022. And that's before we get started on the acronyms… Full article here… Screen size: Finding the sweet spot - A good rule of thumb is that you should sit at a distance from the TV that is three times more than the height of the screen for HD and just 1.5 times the screen height for 4K Ultra HD. In other words, you can sit twice as close to a 4K UHD TV. Don't buy a TV with less than 4K resolution. Avoid full HD or 1080p sets. You can skip 8K TVs (for now). 8K TVs are super expensive, and 8K movies and shows aren't available yet. Expect to pay about $500 for a good budget 55-inch 4K TV. And at least $900 for a 65-inch model. Models with a better picture, upgraded speakers and next-gen features will cost more. Look for 60 Hz or 120 Hz refresh rate: When it comes to refresh rates, 60 Hz is good, but 120 Hz is better. A higher refresh rate provides smoother motion for everything from movies and shows, to live sports and gaming. Look for an HDR-compatible set: This offers more realistic colors and better contrast. Preferably consider a TV that supports the more advanced formats, namely HDR10+ or Dolby Vision. Some will support both. OLED TVs look much better than most LCD sets: But QLED TVs from Samsung, Vizio and TCL are an affordable middle ground. Look for at least four HDMI ports. And opt for the newer HDMI 2.1 format if you can. Plan to buy a soundbar. TV speakers are worse nowadays because the screens are thinner. Avoid extended warranties.
