yeah... its price good too, USD399.99

thanks for the explaination ; )

my finger only can hold for maximum 3 seconds until my brain tells me : ITS HOT!

hey people, sry to ask noob questions again... cause i just found out sri computer has restocked which i might go purchase tomorrow..

1. just to double confirm is it worth more getting the s330d than the s330?

2. i read that new speaker has to like burn in or something? how do i do that?

If you're using the Digital connection then it is worth it

Just play your song collection frequently if you're not in a rush, otherwise, try burning in with white/pink noise.

i still dont understand about this digital connection thing.. example?
same goes for white/pink noise meaning?

i am using the edifier s2.1d ... long time never look into comp speaker..now hand itchy..which model do u guys recommend tat have better quality than s2.1d?

White noise is the randomly generated noise signal. The signal has equal power in all frequency. Some people suggested that it is good to use white noise for burn-in, because of its fair distribution of each sound frequency, from treble to bass. Aside from headphone burn-in, some people use it to help baby sleep easier.
it sounds like '' sha sha sha'' ".

I give u a link to get more these audio frequency file for burn in .
click me

Added on May 15, 2009, 3:49 amMayb u can try the S530D , which has more muscle power compare to OLD S2.1D . There is another cheaper model called S330 is which is actually to replace the S2.1D , i found that S330 has better performance in high frequency compare to the old S2.1D , although the S2.1D has a more bommy woofer.

thanks...s530d do look tempting..

just purchased the s330 its a beauty...!
btw,just wondering.. how long do i need for my speakers to burn in using white noise?

there is not a specific amount of time u need to burn in, i usually use pink noinse and burn in with the following procedure (i start early morning,):

1. Burn in Noise - Very soft for 1st 2hours (2hr)
2. 2nd-3rd hour i'll play various genre of song at that burn in volume at (1) (1hour total)
3. Rest 1 hour (1hour total)
^ Repeat 1 more time (total 4hour x 2 = 8 hour) ^ then

day2
1b. Burn in Noise - Soft for 2 hours (2hr total)
2b. 2nd-3rd hour play various genre at burn in volume at (1b) (1hr total)
3b. Rest 1 hour(1hr total)
^ Repeat 2 more time (total 4hour x 3 = 12 hour) ^ then

day3
1c. Burn in Noise - Normal listening volume (just nice) 3 hours full (3hr ttl)
2c. Play music at slightly lower than normal volume for 1 hour (1hr ttl)
3c. Rest for 1hr, then repeat 2c at normal volume. (2hr ttl)
(no more repeats.) ( total 6 hour)

total process 26 hours including rest time, total playing hours: 20 hours (u can play songs anytime after the procedures, making the playing time longer, but make sure its at soft volume)

After that process, u should be enjoying nice music from low volume to normal volume. However, since your speaker is new, the speaker suspension, magnet, magnet coli, and electronices are all new, it is recommended that you do not blast your speaker the first 3st weeks. Even if u try to on loud, u will find the speaker struggling to keep its tone, or the bass might be "crunchy" (feels like the woofer reach its maximum and bang it's housing)


After step 3c above, you shoud increase the volume day by day(little by little), everytime your play your songs.

For example:

Day 1
Play at NORMAL volume for 1 hour
Play at LOUDER THAN NORMAL for 1 hour
Back to normal for 1 hour
(repeat if u playing again throughout the day)

Next day 2

Play at Normal for 1 hour
Play slightly louder than Yesterday's "louder than normal: for 1 hour
back to yesterday's louder than normal.
(repeat if u playing again throughout the day)

Day 3

Normal
louder than yesterday step 2 volume
back to yesterday step 2 volume
(repeat if u playing again throughout the day)

and so on. You will find that in the long run you can on your speakers at ANY volume without losing it's tone (sound become too sharp or too thin, bass too heavy etc etc) i find that using this method on all my speakers and headphones makes the vocal very realistic and treble very "lively" while keeping the tone of the bass the same at all volumes and good stereo-spacing across all volumes.

this just my method and its what i have been doing, dont flame me if u dont believe in it ;p peace

wow, so much time required.... aite andrew.. thx a lot... will try to follow as detail as u did.. but will also focus on white / pink noise

by the way, does anyone have white or pink noise for my to download to replay.. cause the one xk2 gave has to be clicked.. or maybe i dont know how to download..
xk2 mine explaining a lil?

It's just like having a new car, u need to break-in normally for the 1st 1000km, drive it slow, use thicker oil so that the piston rings can settle down and all the moving parts can mesh together and...get used to moving? ahaha. same concept here...its a very controversial issue, some people belive in it and some people dont. But your speaker is a great speaker, without burn in properly it will sound nice, with burn in, nicer ; ) acutally once u did the burn in part for the first 20 hour, u can use it like normal already, just dont blast it for the 1st two weeks you use it and it shall be ok...

the link below is edifier speaker tool, dont know wether xk2 gave u this link or not, but this software is form edifier itself. u can control the burn in time with this software ranging from 1 to 6 hours, and also the intensity of the signal..but leave the intensity at default is best (-6dB signal)

http://www.edifier.com/scn2005/support/too...ls.v1.01.en.zip

dont play with the generator tool especially the square wave and triangle wave, i did some research through google and it is say that those type of waves can cause internal wear and tear to the speaker.


also, for everyones knowledge, other stuffs like room temperature, lighting and noise will affect listening experience (based on my experince and observations)

-the quieter the room is, the better (imagine cinema air cond blowing got woosh woosh sound or vibrating sound when u watching movie and u can feel the wind of the air cond, potong steam ryte)
-the dimmer your lights are, the better too (imagine cinema use white fluorocent light when u watch movie or they on the yellow lights, also tak betul ryte) when listen music i like to use dim yellow lights for calm songs.romantic. haha == trance songs off lights la xD
-room temperature around 18-21C is best for music and 16C is best for movies (imagine cinema is hot when u watch movie... == 16C will make you concentrate on the screen and sound more, [and also feel like going to toilet] haha but i find 16C too cold for music with no visual)

pink noise
white noise

use pink noise bttr..
cuz its not that harsh sounding noise

Just burn in with random songs you have.. White noise or pink noise is gonna be annoying.. Plus there is no scientific proof that burn in with noise is better than songs...

One thing i notice about my S330 is that it cant handle very high frequency sometimes.. Got abit distortion...

Same goes for my old S2.1M..

Edifier S530D for sale:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=951427&hl=

edifier speaker tools use pink noise with opposite phrase, so when burn in u face the 2 speakers directly face to face, phrase cancellation will occur and there will be no noise/very little noise. the reason why i think noise is better is because noise got very wide and constant spectral/stereo imaging and frequency range, so that every frequency will be balanced out which will enhance the "surround" feeling of the speaker, making it provide a very "full" sound. i THINK that is the logic of using noise to burn in. Also, many high end speaker company pre-burn in their speakers before sending them out, so, i just follow them only la xD

but for the first hours or what pls dont use noise..
jus use random song

Yeah they have a wide frequency.. But when you are in front of the com u also use white/pink noise..? U can stand it eh..

I guess playing diff music genre also have the same effects as noise does..
