Can't tell what it is. Looks like canare l4e6s? If you want to customize the 4 pin xlr you can also. Just use multimeter to find the pins
*
that is a xlr connection? i cant figure out what kind of plugs they use i though xlr have 3 pins only? correct me if i am wrong. i google searched the 4 pin xlr dont look like the one that is used with the speaker

Actually that is 4 pin din. And the d1010 uses mini din like mouse connector.

BTW fan not needed on heatsink. Transistors perform differently at different temperature. Let it warm up naturally.
*
thanks a lot biggrin.gif i will look around and see. oh about the fan really? because sometime when i play it at a louder volume the heatsink get quite hot especially there is no wind flow behind the speaker so i am kinda worried, ok ok i removed it

Wow, Canare l4e6s? It sucks... It made it sound overly bright.

If you google, l4e6s is actually for microphone purpose. I used to had l4e6s and ditch them for Belden.
*
than maybe you can go to moom audio to order better cable

I recently purchase the Swans M50W and I would like to connect it to my TV but the problem is my TV only has optical OUT. The M50W doesnt have any Optical input.

Any idea how I can connect the speaker to my Tv?

Thanks!
*
your tv do not have audio out put? if really don have than you have to get a dac that have a digital input

bro can u do me a flavour?...measure the distance from wall to speaker and the distance those speaker further apart..thank you...so in this set up listening nearfield at high volume as good as sit 2m away??
*
for distance between speaker is around 1 to 1.3 meter but i don have a measuring tape i am just guessing. at nearfield it depends on how you define high volume. normally the volume knob i set to 9 or 10 oclock at nearfield.
but for my speaker listening at a further distance is still sound that little bit better than nearfield

would the m200mkii be alright for movies since the lack of a sub? and whats an optimal distance i should space them apart? 
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


This is my desktop space and the speakers are approx 3 ft apart is it suitable for the m200mkii?

if can tell me the optimal distance I should have in Feet so i can measure xD and maybe rearrange my space later on.

if i want put it on the shelf like my current speakers also can right?
*
if you want to put also can but is totally a bad idea to do that the speaker is way over your head it can be said as a total wrong placement. beside your shelf have those divider which is very bad to put a speaker in it is like puting your speaker in a cave.

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Mar 21 2013, 02:38 AM)
Just curious, for the M200 Mark II need to get an amplifier for it or just connect it to PC and can work liao?

One more thing, what's the minimum DAC requirement to drive that speaker nicely...in terms of price tongue.gif

p/s: What does it mean by "M200Mk2 - RM 729 (Pair, Active Crossover)" ? Meaning RM729 for 2 speakers or I have to pay RM729X2? tongue.gif
*
no the m200II don need any amp it already has a build in amp. a dac is just a converter it does not drive the speaker therefore any dac will do, is just that if you want a better sound get a better dac in terms of price is your choice and the speaker is rm729 per pair i belive

Just upgraded from Edifier to M50W (different range of course) and its a WOW improvement in term of performance in bass and clarity, particularly clarity....

I'm using some stock/motherboard VIA HD soundcard at the moment.

Wonder if upgrading sound card will gain another level of WOW improvement? (more affordable range of course say around RM200)

Any M50W user mind sharing their view ?

Much appreciated
*
to tell you the truth is quite hard for me to notice the difference but it also depends on what on board soundcard you are using now.....because these speaker is not that sensitive.....its more forgiving

hehehe.. yalo.. when u listen dv1010-iv and this, totally cannot compare.. x3 u listen the separation, the bass, the vocal, the instrument.. the detail all come out.. d1010-iv is great, but everything scramble together if u listen to song with quite a few instruments playing.. if u play vocal acoustic only.. then comparable but vocal wise, x3 like the singer open voice liao, but d1010-iv like still inside the box.. buy it with EPP 12 months, so no pain la haha.. worth to buy i believe..
*
sure lar where can take that and compare is so much more cheaper you should find something that are the same price level to compare and see

I am also puzzled lol. But i guess those swan subs are really something that they are asking such a huge price for it laugh.gif

But the thing is, if you get another brand and it sounds wrong later, no point also :/
*
but the thing is the other "hifi" brand sub cost even more shocking.gif

have you tried putting the sub under your table? on your right? but my table is not all the way to the back, touching the wall, maybe thats why my bass isn't really boomy now? hmm.gif but this is a sealed sub, so isn't corner not suppose to make any difference?

I might need to find a way to reduce that "extra bass" sound from going to other rooms though doh.gif

sometimes when the speaker is playing loud, if I go downstairs, the bass note is pretty annoying lol.
*
get bass trap and Acoustic Foam if you don want any bass travel to the next room or any bass reflecting around or else is impossible to avoid that since your room is full of hard surface
