I have a question, wonder if Edifier or anyone knows.

I'm using Edifier S330 speaker. At the back of the subwoofer, there is a knob that allows us to control the Bass level. And there is a headphone output at the volume controller for the speaker.

My question is, does the Bass level setting on the speaker affects the headphone audio if I'm using the speaker's headphone output?

Thanks
*
Nope it isn't affected, that bass level is just for the subwoofer.

Currently eyeing on asus xonar u7, asus xonar essence STX, creative soundblaster Zx, audinst HUD MX1
Which do u guys think will boost my R8 2800's sound?
currently using asus xonar DG..

will want SPDIF for my speakers, 3.5mm jack for my razer carcharias ( audio n mic jack ) thanks.. or is there any better option? budget ~650
*
Asus Xonar Essence STX seems to be your choice. Because you need output and mic input for your Razer headset, and SPDIF out. That soundcard are known got very good quality and sound.

since STX uses RCA and 6.3mm jack, I need to use converter right.. will that affect the sound quality?
*
Get a good 6.35mm to 3.5mm converter then it will be okay. nod.gif

I used this and it works good all the time.

Hi guys.. not sure where to ask so i posted here..
Thinking of grabbing an asus xonar STX to pair with my edifier R8 2800..
Wanna ask, if i only play music from youtube, am I making full use of the sound card?
or should I get FLAC or 320kpbs MP3 audio?

When playing those HD lossless audio, do I need to change my audio playback samplerate /bitrate?
I come across the term ASIO when browsing.. it seems asus xonar stx support this... asio helps to handle the  changes of the sample rate or bitrate automatically? Or am I wrong here... and to use asio playback, i need to set foobar2000's playback to asio or something?
thanks.. kinda confusing to me..
*
No need to be afraid of making full use of the sound card, once you hook it on and install the latest driver you will get better audio all the time.
Playing lossless audio is a must because is full quality from cd, you should enjoy it to the fullest. biggrin.gif

Using ASIO or WASAPI can squeeze a little more performance to your audio source, but can loose functionality because it only allows an audio source for playback like when you use foobar2000 you can't hear your youtube channel playing.

Better sound card comes from the hardware design to achieve low distortion and higher signal-to-noise ratio, software normally took a small part of improvement.

Hey guys, i need a bit of help.
My Edifier R501 MK2 is sorta acting up.

At first, my front-right and behind-left wasn't working so i tried fiddling around with the wires (disconnecting and reconnecting). Now that those two are working, the center speaker aren't working and the sub isn't giving out any bass. The sub still has the red LED on and toyed around with the controls to no avail. Help?

Oxidized plugs I think, you can try clean the plugs by wiping it with WD-40 or contact cleaner.
By the way, how do you connect your speakers?

You mean the 3.5 mm plugs are oxidized or the red and black wires one?  rclxub.gif
I connect the speakers to my Asus Xonar DX bro  smile.gif

All the plugs laugh.gif nod.gif

Normally this case can verify again by twisting the plugs or shake gently it will it produce cracking sound or the sound will comes back alive.

followed your advice, some of my other speakers worked, but nothing for center T.T
twisting it around actually did help but no sound for the center speaker. kinda feels like there's no power flowing. used wd-40 for all plugs

New Update!
All speakers are up and running but the bass got noticeably weaker though  shocking.gif  rclxub.gif
Played around with setting on Asus Audio Center (as i am using the Xonar DX) and still nothing that can help bass much
*
The other contacts are cleaner than the sub so gives louder sound?? laugh.gif

Might possible you need to wipe the sub/center channel plugs until it shines a little then try again.

Hi Bro, thanks again for your reply.

Now, is there any difference between analog input and optical input? Currently I do not own any sound card, speakers are drive by the on board sound card.

My connection is as below.

Graphic card HDMI to LCD > LCD RCA to R2700.

or should I just use the optical input directly to the speaker?

Thanks in advance!  notworthy.gif

Yes there are difference between analog input and optical input. Theoretically optical input should have better signal-to-noise ratio, but subjectively it is depends on personal preference. You may try see which sounds better to your ear.

Hi bro Cosef,
I read your review on the R2500 studio speaker. Since mine is a new set, what should I use to break-in them? Follow what you did? Use pink noise? I also read Power911's review too, he used pink and white noise if not mistaken. But what will be the duration?

Thanks~!

Pink noise and electronic music in loud volume, covered with blankets.
That time my neighbours and housemate almost come and kill me. rclxub.gif

hi bro, I found this noise generator. Can I use this? It can set the duration for playing the noise.

Noise Generator

Can...what it actually need is loud and exercise the speaker driver for a period of time, so the speaker suspension will loose to optimal condition. Then you'll get good sound, more details, etc.

i am planing to upgrade my speaker from vs4521 to r2700 or r2800, would it be a waste if I only use build in sound card on these two big speaker?
*
Don't worry, there will be no waste but you'll gain lot more headroom for better sound on later upgrade. smile.gif

It is the same like using a high end sound card with entry level speaker, performance improve not much but lot more headroom if using a better speaker.

If you got space and need more bass, you can go for R2800 for larger woofer diameter. Oh yea you can even use the speaker digital input if your pc got digital output from sound card.

Hello guys, I am planning to get Xonar STX soundcard. Is there any good speaker good for music listening that i can pair it? currently i set budget RM500.
I have sampled R2800, R2700,R2600 in lyn. R2800 sounds quite good, but it's kinda too big and warm. And not sure if it's the unit problem, R2700 and R2600 sounds terrible in comparison. Sounds like radio quality sound. Is it really that big difference to R2800?

Is there any other model i can chekc out? thx
*
Could be setup problem I guess, R2600 and R2700 sounds good if you have a good sound card and a real good performance signal cables.

How do you think about the current bass sounding?

If not sure and want to try new position, maybe you can try re-position your satellite speaker first as lower mid range can possible affect the way you perceive the subwoofer bass.

Make both satellites height identical and the bottom of the tweeter is around your ear level, if you can't do that maybe you can use door stopper to angle it up.

As for subwoofer positioning, maybe you can try pull out the table and leave the sub at the same position so you got your sub around the same distance to your satellite speakers. Try it back and forth see which gives a fuller sounding to you.

Hope that helps biggrin.gif

no $$ already, bought few things this month doh.gif still studying, budget tight. I'm building a rig now. So I duwan spend $$ on buying an external sound card/amplifier. Would like to buy a internal sound card that cost around 300. next semester just buy. Will use onboard 1 first.
nope, you can experience some kind like bass "boast" if place at corner place and you stand at the opposite corner. but in this room, I dunno how to place it lol sweat.gif Currently I place it under my table coz it will .... err as I said just now, corner place laugh.gif but hunting for new spot now. I tried put outside of table, the bass is softer than before, then I tried place under the... the... the... left hand side of the walled table there, bass is stronger a little bit, just a little bit but still failed coz I can feel the bass is come from left downside... doh.gif something like not balance... bass come from another way. In the end I place it back under my table. doh.gif
*
Maybe you can try turn the subwoofer to face to the back, or reverse the polarity of the subwoofer sometimes can solve some bass continuity problem.
