The first is the basic frequency response curve of the test, speaker frequency response is the most important parameters of electro-acoustic, the band at work is a smooth uniform response to the basic guarantee for the quality of the monitor speakers .. .Monitors the frequency response curve should be very "smooth", that is, as far as possible to prevent big ups and downs, the more flat curve means that speakers working band in response to differences in the frequency the smaller the reduction of sound is also more favorable. .The picture shows Swans D1080-IV using the built-in electronic filter and built-in power amplifier professional in the Swans anechoic chamber to measure the frequency response curve, testing high-frequency, low frequency set in the middle position. .

Let us look at D1080-IV and the Tanner MC15 frequency response curves. .From 100Hz to 20kHz part of the curve are two excellent products. .D1080-IV bass extension than the MC15 wider, low dive to 53Hz (-3dB), MC15's low dive is 66Hz (-3dB). .Low dive as 5 inches bookcase box of the main bottlenecks, 53Hz to 66Hz 13Hz low dive between the value of this advantage is huge and obvious, indicating that D1080-IV can play an effective low frequency than the MC15's more, so use .D1080-IV, you can obviously feel the low frequency of dive ability, many of the MC15 can not hear low-frequency detail in the use of D1080-IV can be shown during playback. .

Dynaudio MC15 using 5.9 in. woofer, while the D1080-IV uses a 5.25-inch woofer to size in terms of a more low dive Tanner advantage. .However, MC15 with large voice coil woofer design, and quality of MSP diaphragm heavy, medium and small volume under the low-frequency near-field listening is not enough fullness. .D1080-IV uses LM5N woofer, with a lightweight and has good damping of the polypropylene diaphragm and a more generous discount ring more flexible, higher sensitivity, easier to drive in a small current, with power adequate electronic filtering .control amplifier output (4 TDA7296) and resistance Nepalese speakers do a close match, even under small volume to achieve a good level, filling low-frequency transients and the amount of sense. .This near-field environment to meet the multimedia needs of "small volume under a good amount of low-and high sense of" special sense of hearing requirements. .
.

Linear dynamic range is essential to consider the speaker one of the parameters, but also to monitor speakers output sound pressure level requirements. .It requires the speaker to have a big power carrying capacity, and large dynamic range and no work overload. .We demand that the speaker in a small volume to be full of all under-frequency performance, but also to pressure in a large dynamic real loud performance. .To ensure sound pressure output from a whisper to a loud pressure as possible to ensure consistent output when the frequency response characteristic, which is the speaker of the linear dynamic range. .

As a result of large dynamic long-throw subwoofer more emotion and power output of the drive circuit, HiVi D1080-IV has a very good linear dynamic range, maximum continuous sound pressure output more than 90dB .. .From D1080-IV output in an anechoic sound pressure measurement curve point of view, the output from 80dB to 90dB more output curve shape remains exactly the same output in loud low-frequency pressure overload has not been compressed phenomena, and to ensure that low-frequency .In real loud is not large dynamic pressure compress the full release. .And 90dB sound pressure is almost entirely acoustic anechoic chamber in the case of measured, if the general environment of sound reflection sound pressure will be greater. .

MC15 linear output range to be even better, from the output sound pressure curve we can clearly see, MC15, when the frequency response at 90dB still ensure smooth natural features, tested .The continuous output sound pressure up to 95dB or so, but after more than 95dB will be "low-frequency limit set compression circuit" protection, high-frequency sound pressure continue to enhance and maintain the low frequency of about 95dB. .This design allows speakers to avoid distortion and damage to extended devices. .

Frequency adjustment is often used in monitoring the application of the regulatory function, the role is that when faced with speakers placed in the corner or a reflection of the desktop environment more, because sound waves caused by the reflection in the band .the role of an environmental gain. .Slight attenuation of the IF to ensure the actual frequency response of straight and effectively enhance sound clarity. .MC15 has a wealth of frequency adjustment function to regulate the frequency at around 500Hz, can be 0dB/-2dB/-4dB precise frequency adjustment. .

Point of the monitor speakers is also very important in terms of one of the parameters used in this measurement point of the LMS for testing, and joined the positive / negative vertical point test to .more intuitive evaluation of the speaker's directivity. .
.

.

Swans D1080 IV curve is vertical directivity
.

This is HiVi D1080-IV test positive vertical directivity, red / blue / green / purple curves were measured angle is 0 degrees / 10 degrees / 20 degrees / 30 degrees. .Frequency response at 10 degrees when the performance began to decay angle, the angle increased to 20 degrees without significantly increased after attenuation. .
.

.

Tanner MC15 is the vertical point of the curve
.

Dynaudio MC15 is a positive point of the vertical test, the vertical directivity is equivalent to the human ear above the listening position tweeter speakers, the higher the angle the greater the listening position. .Red / blue / green / purple curves were measured angle 0 degrees / 10 degrees / 20 degrees / 30 degrees. .We can see that MC15-time curve at 10 degrees angle decay is extremely small, only about 2dB; increase in the angle to 20 degrees and 30 degrees, the frequency response performance degradation. .
.

Should be noted that most of the vertical directional speakers are not ideal, either MC15 or D1080-IV or other models, which means that when using the speaker because of the user's ear .level at or below the tweeter, this will ensure the most accurate and beautiful to hear the sound. .

Tanner MC15 negative vertical point of the curve
.

Dynaudio MC15 is a negative point of the vertical test, the negative equivalent of the human ear vertical directivity tweeter speakers in a position lower than the listening, the lower the angle the greater the listening position. .Red / blue / green / purple curves were measured angle 0 degrees / 10 degrees / 20 degrees / 30 degrees. .We can see MC15 at 10 degrees and 20 degrees angle is very small when the attenuation curve, respectively, only 1dB and 2dB, at 30 degrees, the frequency response performance declined slightly but still maintain a high standard. .
