LFE test

[yepimonfire]

Here's an LFE test i created, it goes from 50hz-15hz. it's not sine waves it's the same sounds you hear in movies when stuff explodes etc. try it out and tell me what you think. as expected my sub failed this test with too much port noise.

Notes the sound files at the bottom of the page

I have one that is individual tones and they display on the player as the track title so you can tell what frequency is playing There's a few different sweeps available on the S&M calibration Blu-ray as well that I use.

What about the 20-100hz test?

 

[yepimonfire]

those are just tones, this is full out rumbling, which is why i made it, i can play tones all i want but it's much harder on the sub to do the rumbling. oh well hopefully someone other than me will find it useful

 

[j_garcia]

I can get useful measurements from exact tones though It might be a fun thing to play around with, just like Danley's fireworks

 

[yepimonfire]

well i didnt create it for that reason, i created it to test the sub audibly, to see how well it sounds in the deep rumbling lows. basically it is a "fun thing to play around with" just to show it off to people or show it off to yourself.

Have you tried Master & Commander on that sub?

 

[yepimonfire]

not yet, i want to keep it in one piece im planning on getting an infinity sub actually soon.

that is pretty fun to hear on my svs

man that goes pretty low. As soon as it started everything in my basement started rattling! The second half of that clip goes even lower and my SPL started to drop...
Monitor Audio RX-w12 (12" sealed, 500W RMS, 1000W max)

it starts at 40hz and below and ends up at 15hz and below.

Thanks, i like it. Anybody can play tones but I like the real rumble...

That explains everything...my sub is rated to 21 Hz at -3db...15 was just too low...I was scared to turn it up as it just didn't sound good...hahahah.

i hope your not serious.......

Of course it wasn't serious... hence the... ... and why I called it a "blond moment"

lol!



Blond moment 2:
"...on second thought... I bet if I turn the volume up ALL THE WAY on my laptop, then I'll be able to hear the sounds! They probably don't show up until the volume is really high, that's why they are called low frequencies after all... right?!"



don't answer that... I'm just amuzing myself

 

[caper26]

hmmmm. My post never showed up...

I'm not a huge fan of this test. It goes low, but the rumbling sounds strange. I just thought it sounded annoying, didn't have the same types of sound that comes from movies and such IMO. For practical applications, I'm going to have to say it didn't achieve what I think you designed it for. I would, however, like you to give it another shot. You might be on to something. Not blasting you at all, please don't take it that way, just think of this as constructive criticism.
