izz it a static sound?

patient bro,just bring your set to the edifier showroom next week and see what can they help u...

check make sure that the speaker volume is set below 7 and the soundcard volume is below 80%

re-check your cables, connection and the volume of your speaker system and your PC, make sure the connection is firm and not loose when plugged in, try playing music or sounds and incrementing the volume slowly, if there is crack or weird sound, kindly bring the unit to the showroom and we shall check on it.

R501 you cannot buta buta blast full 1, sure got cracking sounds
Have to adjust properly for best setup

need to burn-in first (in this case)?

well, how should i say.... burn in eventually happens when u play music or sounds, but it will just take a long time to burn in lo

wat is burn-in ah? hehe... dun know ma

yeah...i agree with u on that. I tested the R501 in the showroom but the sound sucks so I ended up buying the S4.1

im gonna get a r501mkII aso, any other suggestions?

dun think r501 sound suck, rite r501 owners, it just not suitable for ur ears la ok

To me the r501 fits well for its price-to-performance ratio
Its performance even surpass some other brands in this price range, the clarity and woofer power is good, can say blend in quite well but it would be better if it has tweeters in it (my model and the R501T)

But the MKII seems to fit everything nicely already in the box, but the weakness is still there so...we can't expect much for a 5.1 hifi system at the 300-400 range

Yeah you are right, I am a proud R501 user here, best setting is 62 - 66 percent on your master volumn and your speaker volumn set at 4... after sometime, when your speaker is burn in thouroughly, you'll feel what shinjite says...
need some time to play along with this baby...if you understand what I mean...

p/s - they still havent solve the weakness in MKII?? sigh.. what a waste...

hm may i know the pricing now at lowyat shops?
interested in getting one for my pc too
the current 4.1 Nansin(chapalang vietnamese made) is down to 2 channel audio from the 4 channel audio

The pricing at lowyat is different depends on which dealer u deal with
The best is you test it at the 4th floor first then you make your choice

Budget range for 5.1 best is R501 MKII (both clarity and power bass) and dun forget the smaller brother the R451 (superb clarity and weaker bass)

Any hjigher than that is S range liao

Ooo...ur settings is that ah
My settings is Master at 50% and Wave at 100%, then control the speakers, ideal will be 7-7-7-6 followup with volume at 4

Mine is not MKII version, its the 2nd generation R501 but chnaged its satelites with R451 so got tweeters, good for vocals and high frequency sounds

my setting is similar to yours but higher master volumn...
btw.. what sound card are you using?
I am using a creative 5.1 d.e..... adding some tweak in the control center... adding an additional environment tweaking - disco in the living room setting... ( creative sound card user might know this....but if I confuse you, I will post up some screenie tomorrow)..

was hoping to change mine to MKII...but soon after I mod this baby by adding padding inside the subwoofer..hehehe
still struggling whether to open the subwoofer casing or not ...

Oh you add environment settings huh, currently I using onboard Realtek AC97 audio, will get a Creative Audigy 2 ZS soon. Yeah I know that, I used a Soundblaster 5.1 DE before

I won't add any environments because everything will change, to me default is the best

Different ppl, different preferences

yeah you are definately right..
I prefer high clarity sound with some punch in the bass...
feels like the base is punching to your chess....heheheh
