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?

The Schumann Generator I use are the cheapest ( 13 dollars) and their impact is not placebos effect … But I am sure than if I had less cleaned system, no treated room, no vibrations methods in place, I would have sense very little impact , probably none like many, and perhaps so little effect that I will not be certain if it is placebo or not....

I am sure that costlier one must be more impactful because more precise, but the upgrading acoustic effect is there with the cheapest, …. I had 6 S.G. and I can listen to the differences each couple made if connected or not... They enhance the stones I use on top of them or under them... And my thin and small "golden" plates are magical over them.... The S.G. act like an acoustic room transformer with none negative effect, on the contrary...  My best...
Isn’t it the Government that never purchases a product from the lowest bidder? For any audio product you can think of there is always someone who will sell it at the lowest possible price. That’s just the way the market works. The caveate is obviously that you usually get what you pay for. Metaphors be with you!
I have little doubt that the frequency exactitude emission of these cheap S.G. are very poor...Like you said we gain what we pay for usually and not more...

But my point is that is not perhaps only the exact Schumann frequency "per se" that had an acoustical effect... But perhaps a little more variable range of frequencies than the exact Schumann frequency...


My other point is that in my audio grid these cheap engines work more like emission enhancer apparatus for my stones than Schumann frequency generator " per se"....


My best to you and to all, like always and forever...
The fundamental is fixed and is the one that’s important. It’s precisely 7.83 Hz. You can forget about the other ones.
