    Wireless USB

    Hey guys!   I have a particular situation that I thought I hit this board up for some answers and discussion.   I have a nice small windows computer tucked away in a closet in my bedroom.   I have a Nyrius HDMI transmitter that broadcasts to an HDMI receiver in my living room where I have...

    The case for eq

    Reading Linkwitz's experience with building an eq circuit for the etymotic 4s: http://www.linkwitzlab.com/reference_earphones.htm I decided to emulate his eq circuit in software.  I inserted notch cuts at 7.5 and 2.5khz in an Izotope mastering plugin and sure enough it smoothed the etymotics...

    Easy DIY way to test headphone accuracy relative to one another

      I've always been confused about how to measure headphone accuracy.  Freq response plots can be misleading and not bear out listening in the real world, besides being incredibly difficult to do correctly.  Headphone reviews, even by the most critical and seasoned of listeners, are always too...

    k702, hd600, and headphone observations generally...

    Just a few quick notes about these two and headphones in general. Hafta say that the HD600 is more tonally accurate than the 702. From top to bottom, the 600 gets it almost, almost right (compared to accurate monitor speakers). The 702 is very good, similar to the 600s except in two main ways...

    Interesting question...

    ...at least to me, maybe others can chime in. First, i think most can agree that headphones cannot reproduce the space of a recording as well as speakers. Phase and timing inconsistencies provided by speakers contribute to the naturalness of the physical space of a recording. These phase and...

    Professional Mixers and Producers...

    ...question for you. I listen to cans at the end of a mix to get a feel for how it stacks up against recordings I like. I do this because I know how my headphones (hd-280s) sound and since they're portable and my home stereo isn't I can bring it to studios to check against monitoring systems...

    DO you use headphones for your work?

    Like me? I'm a location sound recordist. Most people in this biz use the ubiquitous 7506 (V6), but i've seen some intrepid types (like me) start to use alternate models, most recently the 280p. I use it for it's better ambient sound attenuation and It's 7506-ish presentation. Don't like this for...

    Rotel headphone jacks vs diy amps.

    Hi guys, I have a mid-90's Rotel preamp (model rtc-950AX0). Headphone jack out of this seems to work well with a pair of 600 ohm headphones (hd-480s). Nice tone, balance freq response. I was wondering if I anyone know specifically if Rotel's headphone outputs are of better quality than less...
