As I said in the earlier thread, I prefer EQ setting rather than just let it flat, here is my Winamp EQ setting....This work nicely on my MX5021(3/5 or 7 anticlockwise fine rotate from 4/5 for both bass and treble) pairing with XtremeMusic...
 This might not suit ur taste, but feel free to give any feedback regarding this setting....   PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SETTING ONLY APPLY ON AL MX5021, AS SAME EQ SETTING SHOULDN'T APPLY ON DIFFERENT SPEAKER, TRY IT AT YOUR RISK!!!!!

QUOTE(domo_kun @ Feb 20 2008, 08:38 AM) hmm, just a thought Sure...just plug in to any sound source u like, as long as the TV got 3.5mm minijack...PC speaker not necessary must use with PC...If you like, u can even plug into your alarm clock would it be appropriate to plug in the altec lansing to home tv?  |

QUOTE(domo_kun @ Feb 23 2008, 11:47 AM) i would need an extra connector if i'm to link mx5021 to my tv, right? anyone did it before? would the sound quality be the same if it's linked to the tv? hmm. thanks! Your TV out is RCA or just 3.5mm ministereo jack? if it is RCA, then you can buy RCA to 3.5mm stereo cable, it cheap only...sound quality depends on ur TV out, if it is bad, then MX5021 will produce same bad sound and vise-versa...This post has been edited by coolkwc: Feb 23 2008, 01:31 PM |

QUOTE(domo_kun @ Feb 23 2008, 02:01 PM) RCA, it got the red, white, and yellow thing Actually u no need extra cable to do that, i just remember that MX5021 provide the RCA to 3.5mm stereo converter, just hook up the RCA cable and the 3.5mm stereo line of ur MX5021 to the converter.... what do you call that? tv outputs? or rca outputs? meaning, if i hook it up to my dvd player, then how will it be? the quality would be as according to the dvd format?   |

QUOTE(domo_kun @ Feb 24 2008, 04:06 PM) yeah, very Honestly as MX5021 user too, the movie is sound good without any adjustment...but i strongly advise do some EQ tweaking when listen to song, the performance of tweeter just shadowed by the midrange and bass...but depends on ur taste, if u feel good in default,then is OK. it works perfectly playing DVDs on my PC, well, at least, to my likings la as for music, if the bitrate is pretty low, then the sound quality would be really bad no complain on the treble, though, at least not that i can found, now have yet to try it out on my home tv and the dvd player honestly speaking, this pair of speakers are really good, very satisfy with it and it really shake up my room, even when it's on to the 4th led thanks for all the suggestions and tips, ya! |

QUOTE(domo_kun @ Feb 24 2008, 10:36 PM) give me some advice la go to C:\Documents and Settings\ur accout name\Application Data\Winamp and open the "winamp" config file to edit the "eq_data" to 32,42,39,32,32,44,43,26,25,27 .....instead only using this, i also using "electri-Q" to boost the frequency beyond 16kHz and 40-55hz....u can see here...http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/296768/+1320 i play mp3 with winamp cannot use the preset settings at all have to adjust by myself until it sounds okay haha, how about you guys? Maybe u will think the tweaking are too aggressive especially the bass and treble part...but the treble is just smooth after this tweaking  ...this works on me, u can try it...just set your own EQ if u don't like it.. EDIT: forget to tell u that i listen 80% chinese song and only 20% english song, so this setting is most suitable to chinese song...

Added on February 27, 2008, 8:19 pmoh, by the way some of the guys here complained of the treble and some suggestions saying to change the cable? change what cable? [/quote] Change the original satellite cable...original satellite cable are too long and too thin, not good for audio...even change to RM2.50 per meter "cheap" wire can hear the difference...

I not change yet, my friends change it and i hear the difference...he use the cheap cable only, RM2.50 per meter and he bought 2m only...if u want to use long wire, then choose the thick enough cable...thicker and shorter? eh, longer better maaa so, i can place the speakers further a part no? |
