Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / September 2004blowing speakers w/ mp3s
I just bought the Pioneer 8600 with the Orion C-series Sound great...but now i'm listening to my mp3s w/ the equalizer... i hear a bit of distortion w/ some of the files i recorded. i think i better lower the decibal level right? and rerecord them so that they aren't in the red zone. If I continue to listen to them at a high volume the speakers will blow right? > I just bought the Pioneer 8600 with the Orion C-series > Sound great...but now i'm listening to my mp3s w/ the equalizer... > i hear a bit of distortion w/ some of the files i recorded. > i think i better lower the decibal level right? and rerecord them so that they > aren't in the red zone. > If I continue to listen to them at a high volume the speakers will blow right? You're no more likely to blow your speakers with mp3s than you are with any other format - tape, cd, whatever. What sampling rate were the songs ripped at? 128k has very noticeble compression artifacts... Try 160k or 192k... n8 > I just bought the Pioneer 8600 with the Orion C-series > Sound great...but now i'm listening to my mp3s w/ the equalizer... > i hear a bit of distortion w/ some of the files i recorded. > i think i better lower the decibal level right? and rerecord them so that they > aren't in the red zone. > If I continue to listen to them at a high volume the speakers will blow right? remember.... distortion is the leading cause of speaker's being blown out, rip mp3' at 160 or greater bit sample to minimize distortion, even unnoticeabl distortion can lead to speaker damage over tim -- whitecaddychro CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online > remember.... > > distortion is the leading cause of speaker's being blown out, rip mp3's > at 160 or greater bit sample to minimize distortion, even unnoticeable > distortion can lead to speaker damage over time Oh please tell........

The distortion doesn't have the same balance of frequencies as normal music. That can send bursts of abnormally high power to individual drivers. Extreme clipping can double the RMS output of an amplifier in addition to generating distortion. A failing amplifier can damage tweeters by generating mostly inaudible bursts of ultrasonic frequencies at maximum output. The distortion caused by low MP3 bitrates hurts nothing more than your enjoyment of the music. It's of zero risk to the stereo system. |
