Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?


Schumann Resonators are little boxes you plug into the wall that produce electromagnetic radiation tuned to 7.83 Hz. This is the frequency that the earth/atmosphere system “rings” at when the Earth is struck by lightning. It is also a common frequency your brain “ticks” at.

When employed in the listening room, many people claim it makes their audio sound better. If this is true, then what is the mechanism of action?

-Is it a matter of the resonator producing a more relaxed mental state?
-Does it help block or alter electromagnetic interference?
-Does it add its own electromagnetic interference to your system that just so happens to be pleasing?

I experimented with one recently and what I noticed is that it seemed to remove some of the high frequency nasties or what some might call “digital glare” (although digital glare can also show up in analog systems). When I made this observation, the resonator was placed right next to my power strip that my CD player, preamp and some other devices are plugged into.

My “proof” of the effect is that I could turn the volume up louder than usual without it sounding “too loud.” The sound levels of the system weren’t any quieter, it’s just that the digital glare was reduced so that I could go louder before thinking “this is too loud,” which usually isn’t a sound level thing per se but the point as which some frequency (often the highs) become irritating.

So who here has experience with these devices? Do you like them? Does anyone know why they work?

I even pay less for the S.G., 10 dollars chineese usb one nude bare pcb electronics with no box +a usb cable (Ebay)... They work fine, and you can hear audible effect...

It is better to buy 6 S.G. at 60 bucks all in all, to locate them at different spots and height than only one at prohibitive price... The effect distributed at different location is at least equal to the Acoustic Revive pricey one , and is astounding for me, then they work fine...I modified them without fear at this price, but without modification a more atmospherical imaging is immediately noticeable...
If I phase invert a signal at the same frequency as my tinnitus will it cancel it out? Put that on your pyramid powered joint and smoke it!
I have a few Schumann Resonators.

When first used one last year:
"I swear I hear a difference. A little more depth?
Tried on a bunch of different music.
Hard to pinpoint what the difference is."

A month later
"More authority to the music; a tighter grip. A little more depth as well."

Two in the lounge with music. Did notice more authority when I first used them. Has now blended in as the norm. I initially felt a little spaced out.

So, I ordered expensive ones from David in Indonesia. The Schumann Chatres SE 4 for US$150 and the Schumann Resonator Chatres Mk3 for US$89.

Unfortunately I have not positioned them well in my lounge.
