smcilwaine287 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I notice when my rf-62's are at low volumes, everything else is over powering the vocals of my music. I feel like I can not hear the lyrics unless I turn up the speakers real loud. I was wondering what frequencies vocals range in, I was going to try to increase the DB's of those frequencies. I am comparing to this w/ listening to music on my laptop, which overall sounds bad, but I can atleast heart the vocals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 As you can see, human vocals encompass a large range of sound. One thing I've noticed about two-way speakers like your RF-62s is that the midrange can sometimes not be quite as detailed as they sometimes are in a three-way design. One reason for that is that the woofers have to handle frequencies from 38Hz all the way up to 1800Hz. When using an equalizer, it is generally recommended to use it to reduce certain frequencies to achieve a smoother frequency response, rather than artificially raising certain frequencies. That being said, if you did want to make voices easier heard at low levels by boosting their frequency range I would bump up the 600-1500Hz range a decibel or two depending on what your receiver's EQ will allow you to adjust.

smcilwaine287 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 yea, overall I am very dissappointed w/ my overall setup. Maybe it's the fact that my 663 receiver doesn't have enough power or a number of other things. I just find myself wishing I went w/ the martin logan prefaces. ugh. Anyone in the tampa area want to help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your issue sounds strange. What happens if you switch channels on your amp? Does the same thing occur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smcilwaine287 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 change channels? I am not sure waht you mean. like from 2 channel to 7 ch? If that's what you mean, well I don't know, because I like to listen to music in 2 ch stereo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOHDjunkie Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The Yamaha rxv663 is a 7.1 AV reciever. Sounds like a setup issue with the 663 to me. You may have a surround scheme selected and your vocals are being sent to a center channel speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RF62 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I own the 62's and have no problem with them at lower volumes, high or low power amp. Cheap or expensive, the difference I hear from Expensive(more power) to cheap (less power) is there is a fuller sound, and more prominent midbass.
