TheEvan Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Neat. Later, I'll try it with my Klipsch Image IEs. That will give me greater isolation than quoted as normally possible. I figure that at 55, I'll have a curvy curve that is curvaceous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I listened to some of the tones on my ProMedia 2.0s and was surprised at how much output they had at 45 and 60Hz! Those little computer speakers sure are smazing. As a side note both my wife and dog went nuts when I played the 16kHz tone at 0dB. [8-|] I could just barely hear it - sounded like a terribly bad old TV set that outputs that annoying high pitched sound at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvan Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Coupla observations... Taking the test as described (well above background noise but not uncomfortably loud) and using the Image IEMs the midband rested almost halfway up the scale. On 16khz there's almost no there there. I had to bump it to about 5 notches from the top. I could barely hear it, yet it hurt a bit. The last 3 bands down low curved up gently, two steps at a time. When retaking it for threshold, I was surprised that most of the bands were easily audible a -90db, except the 1kh, which needed -87 db. The frequency extremes needed a bit more boost to break the threshold. Age... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
