ah icic. yea ur M3300 the mod overkill alrd lol...

one day maybe if i see some aquarium filter i try to get some for my speakers...

now im waiting for optical to coaxial spdif converter, so i can try to see if using dolby digital in ada885 is better than analog through the realtek alc888s.

do you stuff aquarium filter behind the M3300 satellites? the sats already very thin, i wonder if can put some thick foam behind the driver.

Digital from onboard sound card i'm not sure about it, can be worst can be better, i'm not sure how is your result...

Because I had did some research before, that a digital data from SPDIF from digital source is not nice square wave, some is worst than analogue because it introduce huge amount of jitter. Optical as transfer said to be very good, but there might be a big problem on light source has response, introduce jitter too.

I stuffed aquarium filter at sideway in the enclosure, meaning the basket holes is cover with the filter but the rear are not. The basket 'spoke' is tied with cotton foam, prevent early reflection.

Yea it is overkill mod already lol...because I did all my experiment on it...but i really like it because it will gives out emotional feel from the music although the tone is not good.
*
i have good news on this thing. the digital data actually brings lot of improvement on my speaker set. first the hissing is reduced drastically, then the rear speaker is not louder than front anymore. best of all the sound quality improves, bass characteristic changes (like anandtech review). luckily so far no compatibility problem with this converter. not sure if my onboard analog is really bad, or the analog on this speaker is bad (hissing and irregular volume), or the extra 2 channels, but im very happy with this set now. sorry if OOT for non-edifier speakers. laugh.gif

btw did Edifier changes its logo? i just hope this doesn't means bad news like what happens with AL.

Hi guys, im playing dual edifier speakers (4.2)... But i don't seem to have enough space... I have 4 questions to ask sifu sifu here ^^

1) Will there be any side effects if i put the speakers on top of another set of speaker?

2) Will there be any side effects if i put the subwoofer on top of another set of subwoofer?

3) Currently my subwoofer is under a desk which is block by 3 wall (back and the 2 sides). Should i put it at more open area?

4) How come i can feel the bass much more powerful when Im more futher away from the woofer and speakers about 1.5m away?
*
1. no
2. no
3. you need to try at other location to reveal the real performance. some subwoofer are 'picky' means it needs reflection from material to reinforce the bass
4. because there is this thing called 'sweetspot' which is very sensitive for subwoofer. you can try put in other room to see if the bass sound different. there is no easy solution for this. i just live with it since im using my speaker in small room as well. the same speaker sounds different if i put it in bigger room.
5. if you're planning to get 4.2 but only running front setup, especially with same set of speaker, i would advise you to not doing it because the speaker will sound same, only slightly louder. if you upgrade to a much better speaker, the difference is abysmal.

thanks alot for the advice.... 2 more questions, currently im using Dell Studio 1558...

1) If i get a a good sound card, does it improve the sound quality by alot or just a little?
2) My speaker the bass is kinda muddy, is there anyway to make the bass much more cleaner? (does putting polyfil into the subwoofer works? sorry for asking noob questions ><)
*
1. i cannot answer that because i am indeed still using onboard from my laptop right now, cause it supports 5.1 via analog. for another system i used SPDIF, and another system uses USB. so u know that only the first speaker would benefit from it. and yes, tried usb x-fi 5.1 before. never did any tests so i don't know how good it is compared to my onboard.

2. you can try stuffing polyfill, try to reduce the bass knob, relocating subwoofer to other place, or simply use Equalizer. i am fond of foobar2000 eq. there are also plenty of VST EQ for foobar2000 in case you want to try sth new. i currently use SH-1 EQ only for the 30-40hz bass increment. of course, EQs are not for everyone, there are some people who hate EQ just by seeing its name.

wow, sounds so complicated... im not that pro so won't able to understand with those figures and dun even know how to play with the equalizer... sorry for the noob of me, don't really have much knowledge... hehe tongue.gif

and how do i stuff those polyfil? i mean do i have to stick them on to the side of the wood equally or i just stuff in it until is full? LOL  unsure.gif

and i look some comments ppl uses different of polyfil such as those from fish stores, pillows (i have alot pillows, haha XD), etc.... so which 1 should i get and where?
*
well im not really sure about polyfill because honestly right now none of my PC speakers have polyfill inside their sub. not interested in adding more polyfill since already love how each of them sound. older PC speakers tuning are great.

haha if you want to try with EQ, can get a copy of the foobar2000 i uploaded in my siggy. just follow the instruction for the 55hz. if don't like just press delete, lol no need to install or uninstall anything. but if your speakers has EIDC such as Edifier C3 it may not work as good. subwoofer bass are below 100hz. so anything above that are not to be touched at all (flat). just pm me if you got any questions for this.

i was helping a relative of friend looking for speaker under RM100. finally helped him to decide to get one Edifier M1380. in the booth, also managed to play with S730 with my phone (use SH-1 EQ) and try adjust some settings. not bad at all, the sub did not introduce any sign of clipping and much distortion (at vol50, sub+10, bass 0 to +6), treble 0 to +6) unlike the MX6021. need more power but did not know how to do volume boost...

anyway, here is some pics. taken at COMEX2011 Singapore

lol. actually there is more on the right and back, but i did not take pic because there's alot of ppl on that side. if500 are sold at dirt cheap price (to make way for if600). mp210 and e20 also got some hefty price slash...

btw dunno why there isnt any P series product..

haha last time used to do the whole cone, cone and rubber itself.. but only for subwoofer, as the midrange cone is too soft it's gonna be soaked the minute i apply the silicone.

some speakers with metal driver have no problem with it, cause doesn't absorb liquid like the ordinary paper..

a friend of mine just bought a Edifier Aurora (MP300). looks exactly the same as the previous MP300+ that I used, except this time Edifier have upgraded the power supply, from 1.3A to 1.65A. not bad, considering the Plus supposedly is improved version from the original MP300...

I just purchased Edifier Aurora (MP300 Plus) last Sunday at Lowyat Plaza. When I attached to my 27" LED TV in my room, both mid and high level frequency sounds are good. However, I feel very little bass from subwoofer. The demo set I listened at different shops could produce very good bass level. I wonder why my new speaker cannot produce same level of bass like the demo sets at shops?

For the price if you're trying to make it a speaker set for your tv, you should get low end 2.1 edifier speaker. Simply throw mp300 plus behind them Eg. Edifier P1060, M1335 or M1380 all will do better job than mp300. Mp300 i think only suitable for laptop users and media playing for just maybe the area of a desk which mean the speaker is placed right in front of you with you sitting in front of the desk. Erm... Do note that someone posted something saying that you can do some simple mod to mp300 subwoofer to reduce the muddiness of the bass by placing paper tube into it. For details, wait for the fellow who did that to answer you

I forgot is cosef, power911 or is nismo. Whoever~ Show up and answer please xD
Agree agree... Sometimes the bass just weren't from the speaker you're listening from. Since bass is not directional, it's great possibility that it's produced by other speakers.
*
haha it was me.. MP300 is slightly enlarged at the end (trumpet) and the paper made it 'straight pipe'. so the bass will become cleaner, but softer. after all it's a 2" subwoofer, can't expect it to be very bassy.

perhaps you need to relocate the MP300+ location. the subwoofer must be placed in front / behind of something, so the bass will be reflected. demo set do good bass because you're listening right in front of it... for TV most likely you have longer watching distance. if you have big room, the bass will not be reflected, hence the weak bass.

depending on our led tv, you can try to put the MP300+ in front or on the pedestal stand. or if the tv is near to a wall, put it behind the TV. if it doesn't work, you can consider downgrading to normal non-compact 2.1 speakers.

Guys, what's the differences between soundstage and separation?
*
you can read this list and check out some audiophiles lingo. myself not really have some high end gear, but when i tried out Senn HD800 with head-amp in Senn store, i quickly noticed how crappy my IEM / speakers are.. the headphone is so great, even using mp3 each instrument is very distinct. i guess that's what called separation.

hi all.. ive been an altec lansing fanboy... but i wanna try edifier as some of my friends in uni last time use it and i can say that the quality of music is very good... can anyone recomend me edifier speakers in a range of 200-300... i would like something basically for every type of song... something like clear sound and can go boom boom at the same time.. ive been using altec mx5021... maybe there is something from edifier that can satisfy my needs...

thanx smile.gif

for RM300 your best bet is HCS2330, but it wont give anywhere bass near MX5021. if you want better, you must top up and get something like S730 at least. but it cost more. or if you want boom2 go for logitech z623, but that speaker like no midrange sia. laugh.gif

well it seems like my S530D didn't perform very well in the low frequency sub-bass section XP

lol that would be Cosef XD

maybe it's your soundcard that cause all this annoying beeps?

yeah when i listen to S730 it surely didnt go that deep either (below 40). if edifier come out with new subwoofer which can go deep, i'd love to check that out... im pretty sure need much power to be able to do below 30hz in decent volume, for PC speakers.

guys remember this song? when it says "tick tock tick tock tick tock" it should appear as if it is coming from left front, center and right front speakers using stereo speakers. try it out at 2:05 and 3:30.

if you place the satellites too close then it probably didnt sound as accurate. at very least give 1 meter between left and right speakers.

whats up guys? i just visited singapore red dot museum today and i am proud to say that they still have the Edifier e20 (Luna 2), MP300 Plus (Aurora) and iF500 (Luna 5 Encore) on display. As we all know, the e20 and MP300+ won 2009 red dot awards and if500 receive honorable mention in 2010 red dot award. Unfortunately, the Edifier Sound To Go (MP250), which has won 2011 red dot design award was not there.

Nevertheless, these are the pictures of those 3 speakers. I hope Edifier release a battery pack / dock for MP300 because I love it when MP300 can be brought around, just like mine.

at first i didn't believe it'd work. then i look at another simple 2.0 battery-powered speaker. most of them runs on 9V AC (~ sign) transformer. yet can be powered by 9V battery. lol i read some comments saying it should work better with 12V DC. so well, i just assume it'd work.

when i'm back in hometown im gonna hook it up to my M3300 amplifier which demands 12V AC transformer. see if it can works. if it didn't. im gonna update the article. haha

haha using the same battery i used for that MP300 lol... i know it's just 3800mah but even if it works for few minutes then i know that it's possible to use the battery on other speakers.

lol car battery are too huge, maybe some lead-acid battery are not bad..

DC to AC you need a frequency generator to generate 50hz frequency and step it up with a transformer. You can refer to switch mode power supply.
M3300 requires dual power supply like most amplifier design, which means +12  0 -12. You need to check the amplifier is single supply or not before you can hook it up directly with battery supply. If I didn't not remember wrongly, old Altec Lansing speaker is using 12V single supply, I did hook it up with RC car 9.6V battery pack before and it works nicely.
*
nice explanation.. ur old altec lansing is it running on AC transformer or DC ones? yeah M3300 is dual transformer rail, i just didnt know the other one is -12V... lol yeah so i need to see for other cheapo 2.1 speakers which uses single rail 12v transformer...

oh icic... haha i know some speakers like the edifier mp300 uses 12V DC... but that is of course external transformer. i just wonder there must be some 2.1 speakers that also takes 12V DC... im quite fortunate the creative 2.1 my friend gave me exactly ask for 12V DC... now i can use it in bathroom to replace x-mini 2 laugh.gif
