J.4knee Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Ok, here's your engineering response: The suspension in any dynamic driver will change slightly with use. And it probably is fair to say that all drivers do go through a break-in period. We break-in all sample drivers for 20 minutes (at 20 Hz and ½ peak displacement) before we take any measurements. We find that sample drivers are more consistent after the driver has been worked-in a little bit. When youre trying to qualify the design parameters of a particular driver design, this is very important. I really cant say whether or not you can actually hear this difference, but you can certainly measure the difference. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> How long it takes to break-in a loudspeaker is a difficult question. Certain speaker parameters (mainly resonance) gradually adjust themselves toward their final value with use. How long this takes depends on the stiffness of the suspension, and the type of input signal and level that you drive the loudspeaker with. Obviously, if you dont exercise the suspension hard enough, youre probably not going to break it in very well. If the case of woofers, if the drivers cones are being displaced by ¼ or so, then I would care to guess that proper break-in will be realized over a relatively short time (a few hours of use). OK now what do the janitors say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
