Probably, many of those who, in one way or another, are versed in headphones, have heard that after purchase they should be "warmed up" in order for them to sound better. What is heating, and is it so effective, we will try to consider.
It is necessary
- A set of sounds of different frequencies
- A set of musical compositions of various genres to accentuate certain frequencies
- White and pink noise recordings - optional
Instructions
Step 1
What does the term "warming up" mean? The fact is that in new headphones, the diaphragm is often not sufficiently developed in order to correctly convey the entire range of reproducible frequencies.
Step 2
Yes, many might say that "warming up" is a myth, and in fact there is no difference. Firstly, it is worth considering what state the headphones were in before buying. It happens that there are no unopened items left, and sellers offer to buy headphones from the stand. It is in cases of buying from the stand that there will be no difference, since there will be no difference. quite a lot of people have listened to them before you, and the diaphragms of the speakers are already sufficiently developed.
Step 3
There are probably those who think that at first his headphones sounded bad, and then he got used to them. This version, of course, has the right to life, however, such a concept as addiction in itself is purely subjective and cannot serve as a compelling reason to refute the meaning of warming up as such. Perhaps it was not habit that played a role here, namely the development of the working surfaces of the headphones.
Step 4
Why shouldn't the developers bring the speaker membranes to their optimum condition initially? It is difficult to answer this question and here, most likely, you should already contact either the experts or the manufacturer himself.
Step 5
There are many different ways to warm up the headphones, but it is impossible to choose one and say that it is the best. There is simply no scientific justification for the superiority of one method over another, and therefore you can choose any one you like.
Step 6
The first way is to simply listen to music in them without interruption. Desirable louder. A few hours of this practice is enough for most models.
Step 7
The second way is to find a collection of sounds to test your audio equipment. Typically, such compilations are used by audio technicians to test the sound of certain frequency ranges. Today it is not a problem to find such collections, the main thing is to make sure that there are both high and low frequencies. This is how you design headphones in all ranges.
Step 8
The third way - some people prefer to use sinusoidal signals for warming up, as well as pink and white noises. These are sounds generated by a computer according to certain rules. In sound, they are uniform noise with small inclusions of low frequencies in the case of pink noise. White noise is perceived by the human ear evenly, without emphasizing any frequencies.
Step 9
In general, whichever method you prefer, use this one. You shouldn't think too much about it.
