The quality of the sound is a very subjective thing, whether it is science or metaphysics, the most worthy of believing is your own intuition.
First, the type and use of home audio.
Before buying audio, be sure to figure out where the demand point is, what kind of scene to use, and then according to personal needs, according to these use scenarios, choose different audio types.
So what kind of influence is generally used in the home?There are roughly three types of them.
1. Home theater system. The simple understanding is to move the sound effect of the movie theater to the home, of course, it is not comparable with the movie theater, whether it is sound absorption, architectural structure and other acoustic design, or the quantity and quality of the sound, it is not an order of magnitude.
The most commonly used home theater is 51 channel, that is, two front main speakers, center, two rear surrounds and a subwoofer, you can also add two side surround speakers to become 71 channel. As the name suggests, it is generally used to watch movies more.
There are a lot of people in the comment area who want to get 51 system, but don't know 51 What is the system, so I made a few pictures to help you understand, and the following pictures are less marked with power amplifiers.
2. Multi-class speakers, desktop speakers, smart speakers, etc. Small, convenient, built-in power amplifier, no wiring, ** where you need to put the sound, go out for a picnic or something, you can also take it with you. The appearance is stylish, and if the sound quality is not good, it seems to be "excellent" to put it at home as a "work of art".
3. Background sound system that can listen to songs, sing songs, divide areas, and realize various functions such as smart home. The background sound system is actually the configuration of ceiling speakers + power amplifiers.
When decorating, arrange the wire in advance, embed the ceiling speaker into the ceiling, and connect the wiring to the power amplifier, you can feel the ** without dead ends than the tide. It can also be connected to the control panel to realize functions such as dividing areas and smart homes, of course, the sound quality of the control panel is much worse than that of traditional power amplifiers. One is smarter, the other has better sound quality, each has its own love, and the choice is yours.
Second, what kind of audio is better for home?
Choosing a sound is indeed a combination of your hobbies, needs and scenes. But even if they say so, there may still be many people who can't figure out what they need. Therefore, from my personal point of view, I recommend that if your home is still in the stage of decoration or undecoration, if you can wiring, it is recommended to use the third type, that is, the combination of ceiling speakers + power amplifier panels. Of course, if there is a need for take-out, you can also prepare a multi-** speaker at home, and the two are not in conflict.
Why is it recommended to have a ceiling speaker + amplifier panel?Explain it from three perspectives.
1. Decoration. From the point of view of decoration,Ceiling speakers may be the most unruptive space and aesthetic sound,Hidden in the ceiling,Hidden invisible,Use power amplifier or control panel to control the living room、Dining room、Bedroom and other areas sound at the same time,It can emit different sounds。
Advance wiring and design,It can be integrated with the decoration style,Don't have to mess up multiple speakers at home,It will look very abrupt,Not beautiful,And occupy a position。 You know,The house price is high,The area is still small,And you have to evenly out some area to play speakers,It's really a loss.,It's better to let it hide on the ceiling。
2. Sound quality. Let's talk about sound quality,Today's ceiling-mounted speakers are no longer the only pursuit of volume and no sound quality,Can only "listen to a sound" era,At that time, it was called public broadcasting,And now,It is called ceiling speaker。 Of course, if you want to compare the sound quality with tens or millions of HIFI speakers, it must not be comparable, but the sound quality is also much better than many **speakers at the same price.
Again, the biggest feature of ceiling audio is that the sound can be evenly distributed, just like air conditioning. As long as the line is laid out in advance, the design of the point is good, and the in-ceiling audio with good quality is like a spring breeze, walking around at home, there will be high-quality ** wherever you go, unlike floor boxes, desktop speakers, there is no sound when you are far away, and it is too noisy to get close.
3. Function. Finally, let's talk about the function, although watching movies is not as cool as home theater, and singing K at home does not have the kind of "**filter" that makes you feel like a "singer", but it can basically meet all the needs of the family for sound. The most important thing about the ceiling speaker is the fidelity and uniformity of the sound, and it can be controlled independently for each area mentioned above, and it can also be connected by Bluetooth, and even voice control, which is more intelligent and personalized.
Therefore, in such a summary, in fact, in addition to commercial use, ceiling speakers can be more in line with a living Xi of most people's homes.
3. Audio purchase skills.
Buying audio, the best technique, but also the most direct way, is to go to the experience store to listen, compared to listening, there is nothing more real than listening to your own ears. You don't need to mess up all those bells and whistles, what evaluations, parameters, brands, and nothing is good, just listen to them yourself.
After all, in the evaluation, you don't know if other people have tuned and repaired the sound in the later stage, the recording equipment is different, the sound quality you hear is not the same, and the KOL also needs to be just right.
parameters, you don't know if the merchant has cheated on the data, blow, who wouldn't?There are too many of these to see, and they abound.
There are a lot of goods, how good the sound is blowing, some of the sound has not been used, and I have not even heard it, and I can still say that the sound and color are all over the place, good guys, I call them good guys.
Although the best way to identify is to go to the scene to listen, but not everyone has the time and opportunity, and even if there is, there are not many categories, and there are a lot fewer references.
Therefore, although the parameters and evaluations should be "discounted", the audio-related knowledge should still be understood, otherwise don't blame the merchant for cutting your leeks.
Fourth, audio parameters.
Different types of sound,Parameters、Standards will be different,Not the same day,Moreover, the parameters are just a means to assist us in purchasing audio,Authenticity and utility have to be a question mark,Not necessarily true,Not necessarily useful。
5. Audio recommendation.
There are two types of ceiling speakers, one is the ceiling speaker, and the other is the ceiling speaker. When buying, it's best to buy ceiling speakers and not ceiling speakers. Ceiling speakers are very cheap, you can buy them for dozens of dollars, of course, the sound quality is also very poor, and it can even be said that there is no sound quality at all.
In addition to the sound quality, the most important thing is the airflow of the sound emitted by the ceiling speaker, which will hit the ceiling and cannot go up and down, and the airflow of the sound is mostly concentrated at the top;Speakers do not have this problem, the sound airflow is hit on the back cover of the speaker, and then reflected downwards to the human ear (as shown below).
Ceiling Speaker Recommendation:
1. First of all, we recommend the Bose 16F ceiling speaker.
This is one of the earliest ceiling speakers with a back cover, and its market share is not low, so it can be said that it represents the transition and transformation between people from broadcasting (ceiling speakers) to background sound (ceiling speakers).
Bose 16F is a high-performance ceiling speaker, the cabinet material is injection molding (plastic), the sensitivity is only 84DB, compared to the GX6's 92 sensitivity, there is still a big gap, the power is 16W, which is also the origin of the model 16F, and the frequency range of 95Hz-17KHz is decent.
Bose car audio tuning is not bad, and the fame feels greater, but in the category of ceiling audio, the workmanship is still relatively rough, and there are few bright spots. However, as an "antique model", it was not excellent at the time.
In terms of hearing, the volume is enough, the sound effect is enough, and the low frequency is relatively insufficient, all supported by the resonance of the cabinet itself, so it will sound very dull, and the sound is completely muffled.
Of course, Bose also has other models of in-ceiling speakers, such as the DS 40F, with a power output of 40W and a maximum SPL of 103 dB-SPL, 37 kg of weight,Compared with a lot of improvements and upgrades,I've also bought this,But the overall listening sense is not substantially improved compared to 16F,The vocals will be clearer,But the stuffy feeling has not been solved,Its sound quality is not worthy of nearly 1600**,So it is not recommended。
2. Villis GX6 is highly recommended
I have recommended the GX6 as an in-ceiling speaker, and I think it is excellent.
Take a look at the parameters of this speaker:
In terms of the material of the cavity, Villis uses mild steel. To be honest, when I saw carbon steel, I was surprised, because there are many ceiling speakers on the market now, and the cavity is almost all plastic, the difference between thicker plastic and thinner plastic, but. Well, it's still plastic.
When the speaker is working, there will be a large air flow, and this air flow will hit the cavity, at this time, if the cavity is too thin and the quality is not good, it is easy to make a rumbling noise.
When listening to the speaker, many people feel that the bass seems to be very sufficient, but they don't know that it is actually just the rumbling noise made by the airflow hitting the cavity, and it has nothing to do with the bass of the speaker.
Let's put it this way, we all say that you get what you pay for, and in terms of cost, the cost of low-carbon steel will throw off plastic for dozens of streets.
The sound of this GX6 will sound relatively clear and transparent, especially in its treble part, even if the volume is relatively large, it will not be distorted. The treble of some speakers is too sharp,It will sound very uncomfortable,And this GX6The most rare thing is that,Its treble will not give people a sense of oppression and sharpness,The timbre of the midrange will be very immersive,The overall sound quality expression,It is still more prominent。
Although the vocals, treble, and midrange are all very beautiful and transparent, if you have to pick the bones from the egg, with the panel, the bass performance will be slightly dull;But if it is paired with a better amplifier, the sound quality will go up several steps.
3. Finally, I recommend the mysterious EV C82。
The reason why it is mysterious is because few people have this speaker, and many people have not even heard of this brand. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's not famous. EV, this brand is in the circle, it is really the originator level, it is synonymous with professionalism, it is really great.
ev c8.2. Full-range in-ceiling speakers.
Frequency range : 10db) 50 Hz 18kHz
Power load (8): 100W
Sensitivity: 91 dB
Coverage: 75 ° cone.
Woofer size: 8
Input mode: 8, 70V, 100V
Transformer output power: 75，15，30，60w
Dimensions: 303 320mm
This is EV C82 parameter indicators,Each parameter can be said to be quite good,The power can reach 100W,91dbThe sensitivity is also quite good,From the sense of hearing,The sound quality is really good,Iron box,Bass diving,The sound is also very calm,But relatively speaking,I personally feel that the vocals are not bright enough,There is still some room for improvement,Overall, it is still very good,After all, as the leading boss,I still have to give it to my Resby。
However, the biggest problem is that it is almost difficult to buy EV audio in China, and if there are any, they are generally second-hand, even fake, there is no after-sales service, and the ** of a single speaker close to 2000 is really a bit high.
Of course, there are also JBL 16CT, Bose FS3, C brand D5 and other ceiling speakers, as well as some of the ceiling speakers of Huiwei and Xianke I have used, I don't recommend it because it is either too expensive and not suitable, or the sound quality is too poor, there are more slots, and it is not worth buying.
Generally speaking, the GX6 is more recommended for in-ceiling speakers.
Here are some of the ceilings I've used, and some of them haven't been fully photographed.
It should be noted that due to the relationship between radio and sound transmission, the actual sound quality effect of each product is much better than what you hear on **.
OK, this is the ceiling sound part.
Next, we recommend a few home multi-** speakers or active speakers.
1. Elvis Presley audio M4 Bluetooth speaker.
Elvis Presley AudioM4Bluetooth speaker product power is not bad,Compared with M3, a lot of changes and upgrades have been made。
1 x 40W subwoofer plus 2 x 12W mid and high frequency speakers to form 21-channel stereo speaker, sound performance is more three-dimensional. In particular, the bass effect is powerful and powerful, which can be as low as 45Hz, and the drum beat of pop music is very clear.
High-power bass needs enough sound cavity to support, so the volume of Elvis Presley audio M4 is larger than M3;At the same time, Elvis Presley audio M4 has an inverted air duct design on the back, which can eliminate the standing wave effect caused by low frequencies and reduce the distortion of low frequencies.
In terms of appearance, the wooden cabinet is added to the ** leather, the texture is in place, the gear-shaped metal knob is also good, and the interaction is relatively comfortable.
Elvis Presley's audio M4 handle is a very detailed design, PVC leather plus sponge filling, the feel is more gentle. At the same time, the handle is also a detachable design, and the handle can be removed at home, which is both a good ornament for the speaker and a good ornament;When you go camping, put on the handlebar, carry it and go, and there is no pressure to play with a 4000 mAh battery for a day.
2. Several light sculptors bluetooth speaker T1
In the domestic Bluetooth speaker, although the light is niche, the product power is not bad. From the lighting to the sound, the atmosphere of the home is in place.
About 1,000 yuan budget,A few light sculptors Bluetooth speakerT1It's not bad,The combination of light and sound is quite good,The atmosphere light of the petal light effect,More atmospheric than the glass3The breathing lamp,In addition,There is a spotlight table lamp at the top,The interaction is also good,You can complete automatic lifting by touching the top,It is worth affirming in terms of appearance。
In terms of sound quality,I talked about it before,About the sound quality of Bluetooth speakers,Don't seek more warmth and transparency,As long as there are no obvious shortcomings in the three bands,Even if it is a more successful product。 This T1 adopts a two-way acoustic scheme,Two tweeters and a30W woofer,With dual passive diaphragms,Both treble and bass can be held,There is less distortion,There is no obvious shortcoming in the three frequencies,It sounds relatively three-dimensional,The sense of on-site restoration is quite strong,The volume is not small,It is very interesting to listen to songs or watch movies in the living room,Especially the three-dimensional restoration effect of video and audio is very good。 In addition,T1Audio analysis processing and DSP audio algorithm are also more in line with most people's tastes,It doesn't sound too dry,The vocals are relatively clean,You can hear the ventilation sound of the singer in the interval,Suitable for listening to some soothing slow songs,Lyrical or HK Philharmonic is more flavorful,Like Jacky Cheung's "Love Letter" is very suitable,360° sound effect with lighting,The sense of immersion is still very sufficient。
5.The Bluetooth version of the 3 is at the forefront, ensuring a more stable, faster, and farther transmission of audio signals, even with a Bluetooth connection to watch movies without high latency. NFC touch quick connection Bluetooth, stereo sound effect formed by TWS interconnection, and wired connection with AUX-IN support are all very suitable for daily home use Xi. In addition, there is a matching stand, which can be moved anywhere and placed in all corners of the home. In the home Bluetooth speaker at the price of 1,000 yuan, the sense of use is very good, and the cost performance is quite high.
Dynaudio Music 5 Bluetooth speaker.
Let's take a look at the shape of this speaker first.
The design process of the diamond facet and the overall design are also bold, and the large area of fabric material is also simple and elegant.
The brand of Dynaudio is recognized by the fever community, and its strength and fame are not in doubt. Compared with the 1 and 3 series, Music 5 is a TV speaker product closer to the living room, with USB interface and 3The 5mm audio jack is set in the back, which does not affect the overall appearance.
Music 5 has 2 1-inch tweeters, 2 3-inch midranges and 1 5-inch bass, a total of 5 audio units, making this speaker more relaxed in terms of timbre performance.
Personally, I think,Music 5The bass is really surging,But,If it's *** treble,Relatively speaking, it's not beautiful enough,There's no special transparent feeling,But as a home multi**speaker,party、Playing games、Watching movies or something,You can easily deal with it。
Some friends may be more confused about the Dynaudio music series, here is a comparison of the data from the product, combined with their own use of the scene to buy.
5. Edifier A100 active bookshelf box.
This speaker is a speaker that the Edifier has entered the HIFI threshold level,In addition to this speaker,All the series of the Edifier**From top to bottom,Nothing can be compared。
The Edifier A100 uses a horn-type aluminum ribbon tweeter, a 5-inch aluminum cone mid-bass, high-resolution digital audio, three-frequency equalization, high-frequency overtones, and a relatively full midrange.
A100 has a pretty good dive and texture bass, the low frequency is very fierce and clean, if you don't like this kind of bass, you may mistake it for the kind of rumbling bass that only has quantity but no quality.
Similarly, as a bookshelf box with particularly prominent bass, it is not very suitable for high-frequency music, but there is a give-and-take, life is like this, and the sound is even more so.
6. Huiwei D1500
Among so many boxes in Huiwei, at a price of about 4000, I think D1500 is the best one in terms of performance and cost performance. The 8-inch woofer gives its bass a better explosiveness, with a surging impact and low distortionIt supports up to 24-bit 192kHz input and output signals, and the cabinet is a low-resonance structure, and the acoustic horn design makes it have better directivity.
Although high fidelity,Low distortion rate,The middle frequency is restored to the truth,But I think the treble part is still a little sharper,But fortunately, the box has a control knob that can be adjusted,You can ensure the sound quality,You can also adjust it according to your own preferences,Overall, it is a very good product of Huiwei at this price,In addition to the ugly shape mold as always,I can't find anything wrong with the others。
7. Bose bucket.
Hong Kong Zhen,BOSE bucket can stand out among several popular Bluetooth speakers,Not because of how strong the bucket is,But because the sound quality of JBL war drums、Harman Kardon glass and so on is too crotch-pulling。
8. Devialet Golden Egg.
If Bose, JBL and other Bluetooth speakers are not as good as your eyes, then you might as well take a look at this Devialet golden egg, of course, there are boiled eggs, silver eggs and so on. I've had the pleasure of using Devialet's amplifiers, and they're really good, both in terms of appearance and power resolution, and they fall in love as soon as they see it.
But Devialet's this speaker I've been wanting to buy for a long time,4500wIs it a human or a ghost?,I don't know if any of my friends can help me test the water?As it says, "If you've never heard of it, it's better to hear it first." ”
These recommended above,There may be many people who will wonder,Why do I have to talk about its shortcomings for each recommended speaker?
In fact, the advantages and disadvantages are listed,The reference significance for you is also greater,It won't be like those friends who fake recommendations and really bring goods,Whether he has used it or not,I can't wait for you to buy all his recommended speakers。 Moreover,No speaker is unique and perfect,Besides, sound quality,It's more subjective in itself。
Of course, it is not excluded that I am old.,Forgot some good models,I'll slowly add,You can also leave a message to say your tangled audio,If it happens that I've used,I'll give you some suggestions,If it's not clear,Comments、Consultation is OK。
