I see no reason to leave any speakers in the same room if not-being used
just more static object reflections.nothing more ,
Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true?
Hi ,I am about to bring another set of speakers to my audio room, I want to leave the unused ones I,m using right now in the same room.. Is it true that to have them not interact with the acoustics of the room and with the speakers in use I should put them in short ( positive and negative connected ) the unused ones. I have received that advice from two different audiophiles, one of them with experience in a pro recording studio. Is it real? or is it just a urban legend (aka BS)?
@nonoise ...not around me, you won't. I do have some standards, and nude 'philes is just weird. And only makes sense if one is a bass addict of preposterous proportions.....and not in just sheer girth. "...land line phones..." What about my cell? The flat screens, wall & 'puters? Any surface subject to sympathetic vibration....where to draw the line?! What about windows, and I'm not talking 8, 10, or 11?! How paranoid should I be? Crazed 'n confused, J 😏 |
Connect electricity to a motor, it spins Spin a motor, it becomes a generator and produces electricity Put a load on the generator, it makes it difficult to spin A speaker is a motor Short the terminals, makes it difficult for the cone to move And a dynamic driver, can be used as a passive radiator - albeit an inefficient one But you really shouldn’t have any speakers in your room other than the ones your listening to… Herb Reichert connects terminals on unused speakers in his review room. Also places them face to face when stored. |
