With the market so saturated, if they actually gave specs, most companies would go under, either from just being middle of the road, or due to their gear actually sucking. So annoying that I decided to just get the equipment to do most speaker and amp measurements at home so I can have the actual specs of my gear. One thing I can say is that there is often not much correlation between cost and actual sound quality. Some very inexpensive gear (amps, speakers, headphones) can have state of the art performance, but other expensive posh brands will measure poorly and not sound good. If specs were given to and used properly by the consumer, there would only be about 1/10th the number of manufacturers.

Perhaps, the switchmode power supply can deliver 2A constantly, and more in a burst situation. Interesting.

Great test and good learning of electronica.

The psu maybe rated at 18v 2a constant and does not have a over current protection so it's pushing as much is can and probably will blow up after too much load for a bit longer time..

@@Only-Memories-In-The-End Those old psus were not that much efficient . Mainly cus they have plastic body.

Very nice, they sound clean!

The power supply is also rated at 120-240V @ 1.5A which at 120V makes the input power 180W. Power supplies are often rated at that power for continuous use but cheaper manufacturing techniques usually remove the safety’s and over tax the components which usually results in early failure. Would be interesting to see the power supply under a thermal while running the system limited to 36W total output and comparing it to the system maxed out.

@mysock351C

2 жыл бұрын

They are abusing it quite a bit. Worthwhile to note that its audio, so the power is not continuous, but rather the peak power will be a minimum of 2X the RMS power, just due to math, with a conventional linear amplifier. The only saving grace here is that its class-D so there is some impedance matching, so its not quite that bad. I have built similar SMPS power supplies for my small amps that put out around 60-80W or so, but even the transformers I use are bigger than that entire power supply. Without any limiting for safety they will put out 200+ watts of continuous power, so that tells you that there's a good chance this thing might burn the house down if you abuse the speakers too much. The IC probably has thermal overload protection, but still I would want to buy a proper one. God only knows what's actually in there. Its probably some e-waste or something.

Interesting video. I think most of us that follow you have broad interest in audio products (home, car, pro audio), so nice when you branch out from car amps. I have a few thoughts. If your powered subwoofer has a subsonic filter, that thump probably wouldn't bother it much. Do they have any built in crossovers, either high pass no the woofers, or low pass on the sub out? I really think you ought to get a mic and show test curves on reviews like this. You could pretty easily get a pretty good idea of the output curve, whether those mode buttons did anything to the output, and you could see if there were crossovers.

The thump is a voltage spike and subsonic would not help. I’ll think about doing freq response testing when I do speakers. Thanks for the feedback

Curious why they wired the tweeter's hot lead (red wire) to the cap and then to the resistor and then into the tweeter. It is like they are filtering before resisting...might be necessary to keep the resistor cooler. They do get hot (trust me).

the three mode buttons only work through a physical connection not through the Bluetooth connection, when connected through Bluetooth it uses your phone's DAC or EQ to control the sound quality and tone. Fun fact these Bluetooth bookshelf speakers can also be used as passive drivers with a standard receiver amplifier just use the connections on the back like the standard positive and negative speaker inputs but do not connect the power or any other connections to the Bluetooth driven speaker and you are good to go just control as normal through your stereo receiver...

It might not give the thump turn on and off with all subwoofers. It all depends on the auto sense circuit and the timer. With the Polk sub, I would try an in line filter ( ground loop isolator ) on the RCA’s. It may or may not eliminate the issue, but worth a try.

It is what it is, Ohm’s Law doesn’t lie, and it produced rated power. Now will it do better with a more robust power supply? Sure, odds are much better dynamic. Might even eliminate the turn off and on thump..

Even brands like Yamaha these days rating their powered studio monitors at 1000w even though the input powe is 90w max and so about 50w from a class d amp. Just saw two of them in a stage. The main speakers were powered by 3x 7200w class h amps 💀 the bass drop was pulling volt meter like vu meter.. at near clipping the mains voltage dropped to 200v from 245v.. 💀

Well that's pretty cool.

Can you try for tested twisted amp ?series f4 260?

That no way to operate without the remote, is a major oversight! They should atleast have a couple buttons on the back, power and function, something, or have an app to control it,

Now you are going to have to get your hands on a 24V power supply and re-test it! Oh and I would caution against using the supplied power supply, being rated at 2A while 4A is being drawn from it is a fire hazard waiting to happen! Those wall warts don't show up their temperature very well on the outside, I had a wall wart that was plugged into the mains but it wasn't plugged into anything, I noticed that the plastic shell was getting warm and I was curious if there was a bad capacitor on the output that was leaking DC and beginning to short the output causing the power supply to work hard even though it wasn't being used for anything... This wall wart had screws holding it together so I was able to open it. When I touched the transformer, I burnt my fingers! I couldn't believe how hot it was and yet it was only warm to the touch on it's outer shell! I would recommend to anyone who is looking at getting these powered speakers to get a power supply that is capable of delivering more current than 2A... I would even suggest to use a power supply rated for a higher voltage for which at a given volume level, the higher voltage power supply would be delivering less current and thus be more efficient.... The higher voltage will also provide more power output when the need arises... I hope that this is helpful to someone! I would be interested in seeing what temperature the wall wart get to after being used at higher output levels... Not sure if it has an actual transformer inside which you can tell by it's weight or it's a SMPS type? Who knows? But I would definitely like to see the output power with a 24V power supply! I bet that it would get pretty loud! Those 4" woofers are going to bump hard!

Great feedback, thanks

I'm not surprised the PSU is underrated. It is warranted to make _at least_ 2 amps at 18v, beyond that is extra. It may overheat & break after using too hard or too long. You monitored only current during use to see 4+ amps, try monitoring voltage when drawing that much current. I predict the voltage lowers substantially, and that means you need a better psu to do some meaningful 2 ohm tests! Also, the added powered sub may thump when the head unit is powered with other equipment in many circumstances, not just this. The general fix was delayed power cycles.

Running 24v 6a on my SMSL amp, and it does a decent job with my 8 ohm bookshelf speakers. Sound quality lacks quite a bit without a toroidal transformer feeding clean power though.

@D S I'm designing some bookshelfs finally. Been wanting to do it for a while. There are so many amp boards to choose from!

Power on the subwoofer AFTER the left/right speakers to eliminate turn-on thump

But are you going to do that every time you turn on the system?

Parallel diodes across the subwoofer output hot and ground. Spec the diodes to bypass the thump voltage figure. That or a timed relay on the signal output.

I think I would have tried it with a more capable power supply, I think it was running out of juice before that amp chip was.

Nice

Thanks, seems SaiYin should’ve watched this vid and included on this setup

Hey Big D, you measured the resistance of the tweeter incorrectly. 😉 You were on the wrong side of the cap and measured the sub resistance through the parallel amp connection.

How do I turn down the bass on these speakers? There’s no base nob, and the “sub” button on the remote does absolutely nothing. The base is way too loud for ordinary TV use.

Return them and get a set of speakers with a bass adjustment knob? There is no adjustment on the speakers themselves, as far as I know. I only use them for music, and use my phone to adjust the bass(Apple music EQ settings). Your TV might have an audio output setting to adjust the bass?

Most of the power packs can easily be over drawn. The current rating is based on median loading. The voltage should stay fairly stable.

I don’t think this is well known since I’ve had people comment on previous vids it’s not possible for me to get more wattage output than the power supply is rated

@@wal They are not rated like amps. Most PSUs can draw a lot more than rated, but with consequences over time. Heat mitigation is the determining factor for it's longevity.
