How to configure the audio equipment?

The combination of audio equipment configuration has certain rules to follow. It is not a simple collocation. After spending a lot of money to buy high-frequency audio equipment, things often happen when the sound quality is not satisfactory after the combination. Brand equipment has different sounds due to different grades. It is not difficult to know how to match equipment. However, if you want to form a set of audio equipment that meets your own appreciation requirements in the specified price range, there will be more room for upgrade in the future. not easy.

Generally speaking, the main considerations should be given to the configuration of audio equipment:

① Balance, the signal source, amplifier, and speakers should be basically consistent and coordinated in the overall technical performance level, so that the overall quality is high.

②Complementarity, from the perspective of sound quality evaluation, the audio equipment combination should follow the "cold and warm complement", "fast and slow matching", but this is not half of the mutual neutralization, so as not to lose personality.

③Practicability, do not blindly pursue high-end audio equipment, do not deviate from the limitations of the actual listening environment and economic affordability, and combine the sound quality that meets personal preferences according to the actual conditions is the high level of the combination.

How to match a set of audio equipment that suits your sense of hearing? First, you must clarify your listening intentions, determine which type of sound you prefer, whether it is soft, sweet and beautiful, or strong and vivid. At the same time, you must also clarify where the audio system is usually placed. -The type of music, whether it is pop songs, light music, jazz or classical symphonic music. Only in this way can the choice be targeted and a sound system that can meet your own requirements can be built.

The second is to consider the impact of the listening environment. The environment has a considerable influence on audio equipment. Consider this issue when choosing equipment. For example, the size of the listening room determines the size of the speakers. The reflection of the walls of the listening room also plays a great role in the tone. The improvement of the sound effect and the smooth matching of equipment will have a multiplier effect.

The third point is that the purchase and collocation of audio equipment should be based on a certain understanding of the characteristics of the equipment (including the price level, technical characteristics, sound characteristics, manufacturers, media and the evaluation of experienced fans, etc.). It shouldn’t be based on rumors or ads that Wang Po sells melons. If this is not done, the choice will inevitably be blind or even misguided to buy the wrong equipment.

The fourth point is to clarify the expenditure to narrow the scope of options, so that you can find suitable equipment quickly within your ability to pay.

The fifth point is that you should purchase in the audition, which includes both a single piece of equipment and a complete set of equipment. When you try to listen to a single piece of equipment, you should choose a set of better quality equipment for reference. If you want to try to buy an amplifier, you can use the same software. After listening to the reference set, you can change to the amplifier you want to buy for trial listening. Compare the two amplifiers to understand their respective characteristics, and pick the one that satisfies you. You should use the same method to audit other equipment, and then combine the equipment you are initially satisfied with. If you are not satisfied with the overall sound effect at the time, you can replace one of the equipment until the overall sound effect is satisfied. In fact, the process of equipment audition is The process of equipment matching.

The sixth point is adjustment. After the audio equipment is bought, the sound may be different from what you hear in the audio store. At this time, you should first determine whether it is the cause of the equipment or the environment, and gradually solve the problem through adjustment, so that the potential of the equipment can be fully realized. The adjustment of the equipment includes positioning, improvement of the listening environment, and replacement of various wires. The first two have a considerable impact on the sound. Improper sound effects will deteriorate. They should be corrected and improved in time to obtain good sound effects. Only then can you correctly identify whether your choice is correct.
