2003 Chevy S-10 Pro Audio Blowthrough

Chad , what was funny ?

4 people thought 10 KHz was where the snap was.

[chad]

The only thing I use 10K for when EQing a snare is to get more hi-hat out of it if the console channel-count is too small for a hi-hat channel. 10K is farther up there than most think a boost there in a 2 chanel rig would bring everything else like cymbals and the vocal essing over the top.

I understand Chad , Thank you !

4 KHz - 12 KHz might give sibilance value over snare snap.

[chad]

yes it will

the snare drum is a pretty unique instrument in terms of bandwidth and obviously impulse. I have more recordings of snare hits somewhere than I care to think about. god only knows where, I took them off of a lot of things because them popping up on random play sucks. And test tones, test tones suck on random also.

[erinh]

Indeed they do.

on our last road trip my wife asked me why I don't just hit the random on my iphone and let whatever play, play. All it took was one sine wave to pop up for her to realize that was a bad idea

[Strakele]

Itunes -> highlight test tones -> right click -> Get Info -> Options -> Skip when shuffling

Or just make a playlist of course

[chad]

No more apple portable products... I solve it by only keeping test tones, images, and vids (I use them for work) on internal memory and stream all my audio from home /done.

Pretty slick Chad !

Here are some measurements I took at the request of Jason Winslow on DIYMA, but I figured Chad and some of the other guys here might be interested in seeing them as well and perhaps have some comments to make.



As requested: very wide crossovers and no EQ

Left horn - HPF 500Hz/24dB
Green - at the horn mouth
Yellow - at my head, mic pointed up, sweeping from one ear to the other
Blue - mic pointed forward and slightly down from the headrest sweeping left to right



Right horn - HPF 500Hz / 24dB
Purple - at the horn mouth
Yellow - at my head, mic pointed up, sweeping from one ear to the other
Blue - mic pointed forward and slightly down from the headrest sweeping left to right



Left vs right
Green - left horn at mouth from previous graph
Purple - right horn at mouth from previous graph
Aqua - left horn at listening position (averaged the mic pointing up and mic pointing forward results from previous)
Blue - right horn at listening position (averaged the mic pointing up and mic pointing forward results from previous)



Left mid - 56Hz - 10KHz / 24dB
Orange - mic right in front of speaker
Green - at my head, mic pointed up, sweeping from one ear to the other
Blue - mic pointed forward and slightly down from the headrest sweeping left to right



Right mid - 56Hz - 10KHz / 24dB
Aqua - mic right in front of speaker
Purple - at my head, mic pointed up, sweeping from one ear to the other
Blue - mic pointed forward and slightly down from the headrest sweeping left to right



Left vs right
Orange - left mid at speaker from previous graph
Aqua - right mid at speaker from previous graph
Yellow - left mid at listening position (averaged the mic pointing up and mic pointing forward results from previous)
Blue - right mid at listening position (averaged the mic pointing up and mic pointing forward results from previous)



Left midbass - 45Hz - 1KHz / 24dB
Purple - at my head, mic pointed up, sweeping from one ear to the other
Blue - mic pointed backward toward the speaker sweeping left to right



Right midbass - 45Hz - 1KHz / 24dB
Yellow - at my head, mic pointed up, sweeping from one ear to the other
Blue - mic pointed backward toward the speaker sweeping left to right



Left vs right
Purple - averaged result of both left measurements from previous graph
Blue - averaged result of both right measurements from previous graph



Subs - 25Hz / 12dB - 200Hz / 24db
Orange - at my head, mic pointed up, sweeping from one ear to the other
Blue - mic pointed backward at the opening between cabin and bed





All done using calibrated Dayton mic and TrueRTA with 50 averages, 1/24 octave resolution, no smoothing.
