Subwoofers (and the air itself!) are NOT in-phase with your mixer and amplifier.
Переглядів 219 тис.5 місяців тому
In this video, we explore the counter-intuitive nature of the phase responses of subwoofer speakers, condenser mics and even the air itself. A very special thanks to Filippo Bartolozzi at B&C Speakers for helping me so much with this project.

Is doubling speakers +3dB or +6dB? What's parallel and series wiring?
Переглядів 257 тис.Рік тому
Devin demonstrates the differences between parallel and series wiring and answers the age-old question about whether doubling speakers adds 3dB or 6dB, with a close look at what happens in real-time with the voltage and current output from the amp as the frequency and speaker impedance changes. Special thanks to all those who fact checked me on this. I am amazed at how many incredibly brilliant...

    I believe that what is shown at 26:45 is wrong. The first 90° phase shift is caused by the air pressure that is built up by the velocity and not the acceleration of the driver and so the microphone's diaphragm will move 90° later. The other 90° is caused from the voltage that the microphone produces because the voltage is produced due to the velocity of the diaphragm. We need a slow motion of the speaker driver and some other surface in front it to confirm but correct me if I am wrong

    • @devinlsheets_alphasound
      @devinlsheets_alphasound 2 дні тому

      I think you would be correct about the 90° coming from the mic if it were a dynamic mic. Which is why, when we do use a dynamic mic, we see a total of 270 degrees of shift in the relevant frequency ranges, not just 180. Test condenser mics don’t have phase shift, so the 180 degrees is due only to factors leading up to the mic.

    Wow, that was super interesting. One comment I have is that it wasn't always clear what the graphs were showing, and I had to pick it up from context. Once I figured out what the graphs were showing for each section it was great, but between sections the graph was changed (as is appropriate) without the presenter always explaining what they were. For example, sometimes they were relative response, sometimes they were relative phase, sometimes one of each. It would help a lot if there was some label or maybe an intro screen for each part of the video detailing the test setup. For additional context, I am the sound guy for my local church and I picked it up as a hobby from the old dude who _did_ go to school for sound engineering. I am a software developer by trade, and I know about fourier transforms, harmonics, etc. So I am not totally in the dark about the science, but this was a really interesting lesson. Thanks!

    Danke für den Test, auch wenn ich ihn alles nicht ganz verstanden habe. Man muss sehr auf den Mauszeiger achten um zu sehen, wo du gerade bist. Mich hat vor allem der Avantis Vergleich interessiert. 30us Attaktzeit ist nahe 0. sind 0,03ms. Denke dass man dadurch das Problem das die anderen Pulte bei 0ms. umgehen wollte. Hättest den Test mit der geringsten Attakzeit mit aufnehmen sollen. Und sorry, beim Messen mit dem Oszilloscop bekommst du nicht dein ganzes Frequenzspektrum angezeigt. Fand gerade beim EQ Test das Avantis vom Klang her weicher als die Yamahas, die Klangen mir zu technisch,sprich zu linear. Scheinen nur gemessen zu sein und darauf die ganze Architektur aufgebaut. Wobei das bei den früheren digitalen Modellen noch stärker war. Allen Heath hat mehr das Livesound feeling der Analogen Pulte in seinem Profil abgebildet. Aber das ist meine Meinung und eine philosophische Frage. Aber trotzdem danke für den Test.

    Really love your technical videos, especially with practical examples such as this one and the line array effect! You've confirmed that the pressure/location is allways 180 degrees phase shifted, regardless of frequency. But it might be interesting to mention that, above FS, the input voltage and location are also 180 degrees phase shifted, which results that the microphone phase matches the amplifer voltage in phase! In a 3way speaker, the midrange and tweeter are (/should be) used above their FS which means these frequencies should be in phase on the microphone compared with the amplifier voltage. After delay compensation of course... Also, crossover may (will) mess up stuf depending on implementation but its a fun fact that after all the phase stuff it ends up back were it started for a large part of the frequency range. Sadly it is hard to show this in measurements, because any starting/stopping a sine has additional frequency contents that may (will) fal outside of this frequency range where above remarks are valid...
