Speaker Burn In...


Hi Folks,

What methods work well with Dynaudio Focus 110 speakers to burn them in? I've heard it's a long process, so I want to do it right!

Thanks....Brian.

I doubt it can be done wrong. I've always hooked up a receiver, turned on the radio and let it play at moderate levels most often, continuously At night I turn it down but not off. I've found it doesn't seem to matter either if it gets cycled on & off. the louder & longer they play, the sooner they'll run in though.. Within reason of course. I've never played new speakers at full tilt, nor any I've owned, ever. too scared too actually. if the constant playing/noise is an issue there's always blankets.

I think the signal sufficient to get the networks run in, but volume does play a part as the drivers need to flex a lot to run in completely.

Congrats & Good listening..
Some people tune the receiver off station for the FM hiss while not in the room.Others put the speaker facing each other,sometimes in a closet with the FM noise.I just enjoy them while they break in.If not over-driven,it's hard to do it
wrong.Just like Blindjim says,the drivers need to flex.
My C1's sounded real good right out of the box. I did run mine 7 X 24 for 400 hours. I will say between 100 and 150 hours they did sound pretty bad. That lasted for about 50 hrs. From there they only got better.
This issue is exactly why many seasoned listeners buy used speakers. Some new speakers take hundreds of hours for proper break in, and even longer periods, the larger the driver.
mmmmm... I would say seasoned listeners buy used to save money, not to avoid break in.
