Sound Man And Sound Woman

Basic tips, knowledge, theory, which is used for the Operator Sound System

Previously I say thank you for visiting this blog. This time I am writing various tips, knowledge, and theory, which is used for the Operator Sound System (Soundman and SoundWoman). Based on the experience of colleagues Soundman / Woman at home and abroad, and also of the lessons I learned in school Sound System School in Indonesia. In order to improve the ability and motivation to learn for colleagues These Sound as both beginners and professionals.

Soundman different from the Sound Engineer.

As we have seen, different Soundman with Sound Engineer. Differences between the two are as different racers and car makers. Racers are Soundman, maker / designer car is Sound-Engineer.

Soundman need two main skills: mastering tools correctly and critical ear (Golden Ear). Audio theory needed to be able to master the tool correctly. Golden Ear can be obtained by studying or practicing special. With both of these two skills, then Soundman / Woman could make the event a success.

Leraning specifically for Sound Engineer

For colleagues who want to be Soundman with both the above skills, can follow a certified training in Sound System School. Until now, only these institutions are willing to teach the Golden Ear. Because Golden Ear is the secret science of the senior who was a senior Soundman. There have been many Soundman in training them and all recognized the usefulness of this training in the workplace. Their cost is very affordable and complete lessons for Live Sound. His learning method is easy to understand, with the practice of using analog and digital instruments as well.

When colleagues interested in becoming a Sound Engineer, it must learn specifically for Sound Engineer requires precision calculations and in-depth research in the design of the software products both sound system, acoustic recording studios, sound equipment, etc., in order to produce quality sound. Electro Voice sound system, JBL, Meyer, Bose, RCF, etc. are products of the research team successfully Sound engineernya.

Sound Engineer responsible for designing audio systems are good quality and appropriate. This task requires a good education. Colleagues who wanted to take a sound engineer school can study at the Institute of Education Institutions associated with sound engineering such as the David Klein (lpdk.info), Yamaha Sound Engineering (yamaha.co.id), Universitas Pelita Harapan (music.uph .Ac.id), Institut Musik Indonesia (imimusik.com), SSR (jakarta.ssr.com) or SAE (jakarta-sae.edu). for full info web search online teaching Institutions Sound System Based on international standards.

For those who want to explore software-based recording like Nuendo, StudioOne, Sonar, Cubase, Protools, etc,  can be studied in MusikTek (studiomusiktek.com), or directly with Mas Agus Hardiman, Dolphin (dolphindaw.com) led by Mr. Rudi, LPLK Tristar (digital-music-production-course.blogspot. com), or can be learned for free on various websites created experts like Andrian Roult, etc.

Soundman PRO License Certificate

Above all, you must be up-to-date information by reading magazines audiosyastem device AUDIO. And do not forget, that recognized the public, you need a license certificate Soundman PRO. This license card is proof that you are a professional Soundman truly worthy to serve the community. Soundman PRO license certificate obtained through oral and practical exams are supervised audio experts.


Thank you once again. Let's share and learn together!

Introduction About What Is That Sound System

What is the Sound System?

Now, this is to convey sound information that can be heard by many people within range (radius) and certain scope it takes a loudspeaker, either in the open or in the room. In other words, we need a facility such as the Sound System According to my reasoning about the meaning or definition of Sound System is an electronic device system to process and raise 1 (one) or more sources of sound (sound) are mixed in a single device speaker loudspeaker sound is heard in the sound level can be set according to the capacity of the room and the audience so that sound information can be captured by the ear within the scope of spatial sound. Mixing sound (noise) can be from several sources Vocal and coupled with the presence of music in a single sound is heard simultaneously. To capture resources needed a tool that Microphone for the vocal.

The use of these devices commonly found in almost all places and conditions. While in the presentation room definitely needed a tool loudspeaker/speaker system that dialogue can be heard by the audience presentation meeting participants. Use of Speaker System may be seen in places of worship, both in mosques, churches, and others. Probably in most homes already complete this device for family entertainment, even with a complete audio facility that includes Microphone, Mixer, Equalizer, Big Power Amplifier and 3-way Speaker System. When we listen to music concerts in the open courtyard (field) or in the studio building and certainly not immune from the name of the sound system. Very different from the use of power capacity in the presentation room that has limited space with the use of a sound system in an open area. The direction of the range sound and energy spent Power Amplifier + Speaker should be proportional to the number of audiences. There's no way we use Low Power in a large area. We can see this equipment is installed in the tower of the mosque with a positioning device in the form of Horn-Speaker outdoor and indoor devices in there Amplifier which is equipped with facilities Mixing Sound Source (AUDIO MIXER).

Operation Sound System

To be able to operate this device primarily for live music concert it takes people who really understand about Sound System, except for a simple portable speaker device in the home or office can be operated by laymen origin of these devices are able to remove noise mic (vocals) on the speaker and do not happen feedback (feedback). People who can operate these devices are usually commonly called Operator Sound System. The operator Sound System is not necessarily good at Audio Analysis System. People who are really in charge of the smallest thing we call the aspect Electronic Sound Engineering Audio / Sound Technician, they have highly trained experts both skill and perfect hearing. When encountered obstacles when Sound operated, they will be able to repair the damage suffered by that time. Sure they have the tool kit in the form of a screwdriver, soldering and other-other. People who are involved in the operation of the entire device Sound System we call Sound-Crew / Sound-Man.

What is contained in a simple sound system (Portable Speaker)

Usually in the Portable Speakers for home and office has been equipped with 2 pieces striking Jack Input for Portable speaker to the microphone jack and facilities to control the power VOLUME Input Level (Gain Level) to Level Power Output of Speaker. Other facilities included in this device is  Tone Control to set the width (bandwidth) frequency noise. Frequency noise (noise bandwidth) that can be heard people naturally start from 30Hz to 16KHz. Later we will learn/discuss challenged Controlling Tone tool to organize this. What I mean by System Sound is a person who understands the science of Electronic for Audio equipment and understands the uses and should be settings properly. Of course, he also has perfect hearing.

In a content / article on this blog, I write about the meaning of Sound System and functions as well as directing you to be able to operate this device so that the results are perfectly audible. Here we not only discuss the device's sound system but also learn about the System Sound (Audio). Quite broad meaning and knowledge about this Audio System. I may not write complete in one blog page, it will require a very long time. So in this section, I discuss them in several categories or listing page, in the beginning of this site we start from Basic Introduction of Sound System. I will continue to do the editing and upgrades in this blog are based on the level, of what I write is based on facts and my ability to recognize and operate this audio device.

I suggest you to see the contents so that you can know from the beginning of the article Introduction to Basic Sound System and any necessary device in it.

If you want to ask or give advice to me, please to provide questions and input to be useful for us all.

The Accuphase C-200 Preamp - That's the understatement of the day!


The Accuphase C-200 preamp was Accuphase first pre-amp offered in America and began the uncompromising standard of excellence that still exists today. The C-200 was manufactured from 1975 – 1977 if I recall correctly. Cosmetically, this unit is at least an 8 out of 10. There are 4-5 small and shallow scratches in the top edge of the champagne facing – all less than 0.5 inches long. The black paint is almost new condition and has been waxed with a Teflon-based car wax. All lettering on the front and back is perfect, complete and readable. All lamps function. Timeless, classic looks. In looking at the pictures in this listing, they make it appear that the black top has spots and that there are long scratches and spots on the face. I assure you this is junk on the lens or possibly floating in the air when I snapped the pics. These imperfections are NOT present on the unit.

I bought this based on my research specifically about its phono stage. The phono stage has several unique things – gain pots to help adjust for different cartridge outputs; variable cartridge loading from 33k – 100k ohms to help get the absolute most out of your cartridge; and a low frequency boost from 0 to +1dB specifically for phono.



Given its age, I did a few things to it:
  • ALL electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with new Nichicon Fine Gold, Nichicon Muse and even some Blackgates. I stayed with the original capacitance values but in some cases increased the voltage ratings for the new caps. New phenolic mounting boards were made for the replacement power/filter caps since they are significantly different physical dimensions than the original Elnas. Further, the boards are isolated from the chassis by rubber grommets to reduce vibrations to the caps. The original design has the capacitor supports physically coupled to the chassis so all vibrations would be communicated to the capacitors.
  • Other capacitors that were originally electrolytics were replaced with film caps in accordance with the Service Manual as of July 1976. Key signal capacitors were also replaced with upgraded audiophile caps.
  • I replaced the original two blade power jack with a current IEC jack and connected the chassis to the ground lug so you can use your own updated power cord.
  • All pots/switches were cleaned with Caig
  • A generous amount of Dynamat has been added to the chassis for vibrational damping.
I have been using this pre since I completed the work earlier this summer and everything works perfectly on this. I am using Disc 1 for my turntable and Aux for my CD player. Everything is dead quiet. There are probably 50-60 hours on the rebuild- not even broken in yet.

If you are looking at this or other vintage pre-amps, please consider that these units contain a number of electrolytic capacitors. Electrolytics are generally considered to have a lifespan of 15- 20 years, after which they frequently fail and leak acid. This is not urban myth as I have had a few devices destroyed from such leakage. In considering the purchase of any electronic device that is more than 15 years old, you should either (a) realize that all electrolytic capacitors must be replaced soon in order to preserve the performance, integrity and electrical safety of the device, OR (b) ensure this has been done within a reasonable time prior to your purchase of the device.

From what I have read so far, the C-200 is a great preamp and still holds its own with today's modern high end preamps. It also is supposed to have an excellent phono section with two inputs with variable load and gain. This works perfect for me as I have three turntables that I use. I have my mmf-phono pack that I can run on one of the other inputs.

This thing is a tank too, weighing in at 30+ lbs (14kg)!! I couldn't pass up this deal considering what they normally go for. I'm taking a chance on it as it is not tested, but judging from the condition it's in and the feedback of the seller, I'm feeling pretty good about this purchase.

Let me know what you all think!


I have the Accuphase C-200  integrated from the same era and it's wonderful. Accuphase is considered by many as the Japanese McIntosh. There is a lot of love for Accuphase over on AudioKarma, as well as a few Accuphase service gurus in case you need help or direction and don't find it here.

I've compared my Accuphase preamp to a few more modern mid-fi brands that I also own (Luxman, Onkyo, Yamaha) and it is clearly a more sophisticated phono stage. But I still think you can better it with a lot of the "new-generation" phono stages. I would still love to own one though. General philosophy is not to modify it but to restore it by recapping. (Replacing all the electrolytics) I don't have the schematic but i'd say you have 30-40 caps in there. A nice piece.

That's the understatement of the day!

I recapped the C-200, replacing only the eight large filter caps and a couple of resistors that suffered from "resistor rot". After that, I got the ole' girl up and running and it's been doing nothing but surprising the heck out of me! This is truly a state of the art preamp that easily stands its own ground amongst modern preamps costing well beyond $5k, and probably higher dollar units! It can only get better once I get around to replacing all the small electrolytic caps on all the pull-out boards. However, the way it's sounding right now, I don't think I'm in any rush to do that, but it will be done eventually.

In my system, this preamp is creepy spooky! There has to be some kind of perfect synergy going on between my gear because I have never had my systems before put so much life and feeling into the music like this system does, and it has only done this since the C-200 was added. I mean, it did a darn good job before with the KingRex Pre-Amp, but the Accuphase takes it leaps and bounds ahead, and the KingRex is not a preamp to sneeze at. That little digital preamp easily competes with units costing many thousands, both tube and SS. The C-200 is just amazing in the fact that it is such an improvement over the KingRex.

Installing Device Karaoke Sound System For Home

Installing device karaoke Sound System for home


Sometimes to eliminate the sense of fatigue in a grueling routine of our thoughts and feelings, then it must be made to relax. One solution is to karaoke with colleagues at the Karaoke place in your city. This unity will make us forget for a moment the fatigue in work activities. Maybe you are invited by a friend who loves to sing but you feel awkward when singing that was witnessed by another person, it will certainly make you nervous, may not know the songs you sing well in rhythm tone, poems and lyrics. Therefore you need a lot of exercise without being seen by others. How to? Of course you should have in your home karaoke facilities. do not have to choose the device that expensive if your financial condition is not sufficient to buy a sound system and completeness of your karaoke at a price which is too expensive. But if you want to get good sound quality of course you have to be good at choosing a karaoke sound quality, it is the price to determine the quality.

 Invite your friends to understand enough about the karaoke sound system equipment and how to setup and installation of voice quality that is found in your ear. meanwhile if you have the space / room unused, you can magic into your mini studio or home theater in your home by providing soundproof material. This is to minimize audible noise to a neighbor's house. Frankly I also like to sing, but there is a sense of shame that my voice be heard by a neighbor or interfere with them.

 As a recommendation for you, you try to look at some options and steps you should take before buying this karaoke device. Here are some simple equipment, but can be a reference for you.


Music Player Source

You can use the DVD player of good quality from well-known products. Disk song must be of good quality, not pirated. If you have a notebook device / PC / laptop, then you can install the program karaoke player, but to display you'll have to use a special cable to connect your PC to the display equipment. now available MIDI Karaoke Player Mechine in which there is the hard drive that can hold millions of songs on it. You can upgrade the song by plugging the USB or the Internet. aat you want to play your favorite song quite see menu available there. Usually in the Karaoke Player already includes facilities for the microphone and echo. If this facility is not there then you are forced to use a separate audio mixer for sound mixing process and both music and microphone.

Display equipment

To display the video image of karaoke, we can use the TV input terminal suppose there are plugs AV Input (Audio Video Iinput), VGA input, or the now popular is HDMI. However, we can simply use the AV input jacks for video facility drawings. For that much money you can also use the following projector screen. By using the projector, the image luminate look wider.

Microphone Equipment

Somewhat difficult choosing a good microphone. Sometimes there are cheap price but quite to your taste. As a recommendation for you to try using a Shure SM58 Microphone. If you want to be free to move should use a wireless microphone.

Audio Mixer Equipment

Look for the Audio Mixer already contained therein Sound FX (effects / Echo). When the mixer Audio FX setup you try to use the FX Reverv or Hall. Take a look at the following image source;

Speaker System (Loud Speaker) Equipment

It feels strange sounds that do not use the karaoke Speaker System. Therefore this system speaker equipment becomes vital when you karaoke. Speaker function is to play back and strengthen our voice. There is a wide variety of speakers this system you need to know;

Speaker Active Stereo 8 inchi,
These speakers can be a recommendation for you, the price is pretty cheap, but in it already contained Microphone jack and also effect is Echo. These speakers are two of the same size but one of the boxes are in the form of voice control volume, bass, and treble. Audio jack input terminal for normally use the RCA jacks on the back of the speaker's body.

Speaker Active Mono 12 inchi

To produce stereo sound speakers in the use of this then you must have two speakers with the same brand and type (one set). The price is quite expensive and also power consumption is quite large. in response to a more complete range of voice and get the low bass sound better then equipped with an active woofer speaker as shown above. These speakers are mounted on either side of the display (operating device)

 Passive Speaker

If you want to use Passive Speaker then you have to use your Power Amplifier for pushing or moving the speakers.

 Installation Karaoke Sound System Equipment

There are various ways to install the system on your karaoke equipment. This installation is divided according to the condition of the equipment you have. for live video connections you connect the video out on the DVD player to your TV AV1 input. Adjust the position of the remote to get this video signal.

A.  Active speaker 8 inch Installing

The simplest installation with Active 8-inch speaker. For your microphone to the microphone jack can be strikingly Mic 1 and 2 on the active speaker box 8 "is. It could also plug the mic to plug microphon contained in VCD player. You see diagram above image. In 8-inch active speaker can also be included with audio mixer facility when you enough financial funds to buy the audio mixer.

B. Passive Speaker installation using a Power Amplifier (PA) and the Audio Mixer


Before installing this equipment stacking position of the device in a special container cupboard or shelf. Place the audio mixer in the top position. Position Power Amplifier (PA) were at the bottom. Measure the short length of cable between Power and Speaker. Try not to be too long. To connect the speaker cable from the Power Amplifier is connect the red wire to the positive terminal on the speaker box and the black to the negative terminal on the speaker box. The position of the right side speaker connected to the path (R) in PA and left to (L). Consider the diagram below picture;

C. Installation Using Mono Active Speaker 12 Inch

In the speaker box is equipped with a PA and Tone Control, so you no longer need the addition of an external Power Amplifier. You simply adjust the position of the Volume, Bass and Treeble the flat position (12 o'clock), then you just set all sorts Level and Tone EQ only on Audio Mixer. diagram exactly the same picture in the picture above, namely living facility negates Power Amplifier. So that you can sound at a particular frequency ut my suggestion is to use the Equalizer (EQ).

 Audio Check

After all devices attached to the neat now we are trying to advance the sound to be generated by the microphone. Set the level and effect till found Tone and echoes which you steady. When you are good enough, adjust the level of the music and adjust the balance between your vocal with karaoke music. to eliminate the singer's voice on Disk stay pressed the remote, hear audio (L) or (R). Now you will enjoy your voice as a singer Karaoke.


Good luck and practicing karaoke songs.!!

Utilizing your Music Recording Software to get Lower Songs on Your Digital Sound Workstation

Nearly all audio these days will be recorded on searching for Music Work station (DAW), one's heart of which is a personal computer as well as recording software program. A number of the key gamers throughout recording computer software nowadays will be Cubase through Steinberg Media Technology, Protools through Digidesign, Reasoning by simply Apple, along with Sonar by Cakewalk. You'll find basically 3 things you can do together with your DAW: file, edit, along with combination. This information is focused on the 1st method, documenting or even 'laying along paths.'

Becasue it is an easy task to end up being overwhelmed by the particular myriad functions, possibilities, and also settings in the current documenting application, I'll stick to the principles. My own good examples make use of Cubase, since which is the saving software program I use. Nevertheless, the basic procedure is going to be equivalent with taking applications.

Begin with putting in your current sound digital camera software as well as recording application as well as environment these people approximately interact. As an example: if you utilize Cubase, navigate to the Gadgets food selection, pick the Device Create window, and judge the software driver which in turn was included with your current program.

Now hook-up your current device as well as mic(s). The majority of tools with audio produces must plug to the -10 db input in your software; your user interface will likely then increase the actual indication by simply 10 decibels. Mics will require boosting by way of a preamp (usually shortened to help before), an element built-into several electronic digital audio tracks interfaces. Many mics can connect to the +4 db insight, and also the user interface will certainly sleeping pad or perhaps decrease the signal by four decibels.

Up coming, you may set up the first recording undertaking. Within Cubase, pick Fresh Undertaking through the Record menu. You will be motivated to identify a place to save the files. Be sure you build a brand new directory for each new project. Your own saving software will develop subfolders as needed. Useful fresh undertaking. After that arranged film quality for your task, which is the sampling frequency along with bit level. Decide on Venture Create around the Undertaking menu in Cubase. Understand that Dvds utilize Forty-four.1 kHz as well as 07 touch. Greater settings improve high quality, but additionally drastically increase the desire on your desktop model as well as the height and width of audio tracks generated as well as located in your harddrive.

In case you are acquainted with mixing up reside audio as well as recognize indication circulation, you do have a fantastic start taking this specific second step. Produce a brand new enter shuttle (employ VST Contacts throughout Cubase's Gadgets selection). Select mono configuration for anyone microphone stand and several devices or perhaps stereo setting should you be using a pair of microphones or an instrument with All over the place results. Arranged this specific bus to work with the correct input from a sound electronic software. Right now create a new audio track in order to document on (Include Monitor about the Cubase Undertaking menu), along with determine the feedback shuttle you only designed to this particular observe.

You may well want to document your current monitor dried out, make use of an external digital signal processor (DSP) to improve the particular indication (probably together with retention, EQ, or even reverb) before taking, or perhaps make use of the put in to use consequences inside of Cubase. Plug-ins are generally DSPs as well as electronic tools made to communicate with your recording application. VST (Digital Business Technology) plug-ins perform most optimally using Cubase. Before acquiring plug-ins, verify precisely what plug-ins come pre-installed with your DAW software along with what type(ersus) are usually suitable for your current software. Cubase, for example, offers plug-ins regarding data compresion, EQ, reverb, plus a various other commonly used effects. While significant dojos frequently implement retention and EQ to monitors before recording, the correct answer is acceptable and frequently preferable to report the paths dried up, and then change them after taking time to be able to experiment and discover the best results to boost your current taking. Consult your handbook to understand how to insert plug-ins to the transmission stream even though taking.

While you start saving, another significant principle to understand will be signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). With the tone of voice or even device you would like to file, you are going to almost constantly be documenting some surrounding sounds, including each sound in the place (say for example a computer fan, neon lighting ballast, as well as toe-tapping) along with exterior (for example blowing wind or road sound). Your goal is to increase signal-to-noise proportion as well as thus lessen undesired noise to the point where it can be undetected. You need to do this kind of both through seem remoteness by producing your sign as deafening and apparent as you possibly can with no distortion.

Now you must in order to report. Select the track to which you will end up documenting, and ensure the best feedback will be designated. Make it possible for file or 'arm your track' through pushing the particular red button. Examine your multimeter around the carry screen (or go through the check button) to make sure the actual sign is arriving by means of. Utilize fader to create the amount for maximum SNR with no distortions. Ultimately, media your file button to start and the stop button to end recording.

It gets better! Participate in back again your current course and also listen closely very carefully in order to how it seems. Do not be reluctant to help report numerous takes until you might be totally satisfied. Even experts report multiple requires. In case simple fact, even before you document on to your 1st course, you might want to copy that and create many replicate songs to save lots of measures in establishing monitors for multiple usually takes. You may even desire to overdub, taking different portions individually to be able to revise as well as blend later.
Satisfied recording!

Professions Inside Audio Executive

Audio Engineering, and this is typically known since Audio tracks Design, is often a side branch involving audio science. Usually, appear executive means documenting, burning, modifying, mixing up, as well as processing involving seem by using electronic digital and mechanical devices. Appear technicians employ a number of documenting units such as high-tech mics which are required to document the merest audio variants. Electronic blending panels or console snowboards are a necessary part of appear executive that are utilized to handle appear feedback although saving or perhaps editing songs. They will include a selection of knobs, knobs, equipment and lighting, along with metres. Lamps and also yards facilitate the actual engineers to understand just the sounds which might be documented as well as their depth.

By way of buttons along with knobs around the mixing panels, seem engineers keep an eye on the appear input in terms of the size, and sound quality. Various other integral components of sound engineering include digital audio workstations, transmission cpus, and also sequencing computer software. Inside films, appear technicians along with technicians integrate the actual noises regarding actors within the film audio tracks together with special sound effects. The movie 'Apocalypse Now' stated in 4 seasons 1979 is recognized as a vintage instance of 'sound' films right up until time.

Appear engineering is probably the most widely used job alternatives in the current age group. Sound technicians can have a offering profession inside video as well as online video generation, advertising and marketing as well as sound transmitting. However, it is vital to receive elegant coaching plus a degree from the recognized initiate, that is certified simply by qualifications association, like NORDING or perhaps EURING.

Audio Design Schools

Usually, pupils receive conventional training and learning audio architectural by way of seem architectural colleges. These kind of schools provide substantial and also demanding learning diverse career fields regarding seem architectural for example Taking and Manufacturing. Since there are a large number of universities and websites which provide this type regarding schooling, you should pick a school on the basis of certain requirements.

1. Durability In the School And also Facilities Presented - It is very important to learn the quantity of individuals signed up for a program as it data reveal that institutions enrolling select few of scholars offer far better coaching surroundings. Yet another selecting element may be the facilities made available from the education college or start. The particular Hartt School with School regarding Hartford (CT) limits the quantity of pupils to help 25 for the production plan. This particular school has Six modern-day companies, and is also for this Yale cinema department. Therefore, pupils find theoretical along with sensible lessons in are living recording.

2. Kind of Institution -- Students trying to find a full-fledged training and also career in appear architectural, can opt for educational institutions which are particular as well as focused exclusively in order to Audio and also Video clip creation. Other individuals can easily select educational institutions which might be an element of a more impressive business or even University.

3. Place With this part associated with profession gathering popularity through the years, there are many institutions located in distinct urban centers that provide coaching in addition to position guidance.

deb. Standing of The institution -- You will need to select a institution after making sure it's trustworthiness.

There is a great number of institutions that supply 12 full week as well as Twenty-four 7 days classes within sound architectural. The benefit of this sort of plans is students may decide the particular pace of these software with regard to better comprehension. Students have selecting deciding on the evaluation center that is certainly easy to these people. These kinds of is turning into well-known as a result of his or her versatility and convenience.

The Test System

Article By :Rajinder Gill
Before we go on to look at some of the PC software and hardware out there, I'll offer up a quick overview of the test system. Some of the components used really are out on a limb with price tags that are not for the faint of heart. In audiophile currency, I probably have what amounts to a mid-budget system. If your interest is in low budget products, be warned that the rest of this page will probably make your stomach churn.
 However, you've not been forgotten and we will add a few suggestions here and there should you have champagne tastes on beer budgets - as most of us probably do, especially in this time of credit crunch.


Real Hi-Fi owner and Supravox distributor Matthew Jameson was kind enough to provide us with a pair of test speakers based upon Supravox Signature Bicone Drivers known as the Transparence from a company called 3D Sonics. The Bicone Signature driver is a high efficiency (claimed 96dB sensitive) wide bandwidth design featuring a whizzer cone to supplement high frequency reproduction while the main cone takes care of the rest. The parameters of these drivers make them eminently suitable for an open baffle design like the Transparence.

If you keep your ear to the ground in loudspeaker circles, you'll know that open baffle loudspeakers have made a marked resurgence over the last five years or so. One of the chief perpetrators of this revival was a fellow named Throsten Loesch. Thorsten publicized his build of the Supravox Bicone Sig's using the very design that went on to become the 3D Sonics commercial venture. The remarkable simplicity was just what many in the DIY audio community were looking for: an easy to build high performance loudspeaker that could use a variety of drivers according to budget. I had the pleasure of listening to these speakers around five years ago at Thorsten's house; needless to say, it was an experience I never forgot. The absence of a walled cabinet allows the sound to fly out in all directions creating a soundstage that simply makes the loudspeaker drivers disappear.

All good things come with a slap around the cheeks and here's the part that the standard "boom 'n tizz" audio loving public won't like: the price tag is around £2400 UKP for a pair of these beauties. In audiophile markets, a price tag like this is hardly sweat inducing as there are plenty of high-end designs that cost multitudes more. If you are worried about the price, there's no reason to fret as DIY'ing a pair yourself that should get within 95% of the commercial model is not out of the question.

Stock signature Bicone drivers are available for DIY endeavors from Supravox USA, Supravox France for the EU, and direct from Real Hi-FI for the UK at around a third of the cost of the "ready to go" Transparence. If that's still too much for you, another door is open by using the budget friendly Visaton B200 driver with suitable baffle adjustments to suit its parameters.

The Transparence design is fiendishly simple: a single driver in a 6'x4' acrylic baffle that uses an aluminum L-bracket as a stand and as a means of providing additional rigidity to the baffle. There's no crossover as the driver covers the range of 50 Hz to 15 KHz on its own. That's most of the audible range covered by a single point source. While the top-end extension is enough even for super ears, the low-end obviously needs augmenting with a subwoofer for bass heavy music. For this purpose I use a Linn AV 5150 subwoofer crossed over at around 48 Hz that integrates very well with these speakers, especially when we use DRC to level some of the room response abnormalities.

Whether or not you have the financial clout to buy the fully fledged 3D Sonics Transparence, it's certainly worth investigating the sonic landscape that open baffle designs can create. The availability of drivers for just about every budget leaves the onus of their use squarely in the hands of the DIY'er. Don't pass up the chance to try them out.
