Small, standmount speakers often benefit from uncorrected room modes to extend their range.

In the two-channel world, things have proceeded much more slowly. Most work well, providing precise level balance, compensating for unequal pathlength differences, and correcting in-room frequency response for all the speakers.

Today, some arrive installed in AVRs and preamp-processors others come as standalone devices or computer software. Audyssey was the first such utility to gain wide acceptance. Help quickly came in the form of setup utilities that required no knowledge of acousticsonly a willingness to position a microphone for a series of measurements and let the system do the rest. Its fans were expected to install several loudspeakers in a full-range setup that included at least one speakerthe subwoofer(s)that functioned exclusively in the problematic bass region. As everything this is only a suggestion to clarify things for all users connected with audioquality in MusicBee, which is the best Music Manager I know.Adoption of DSP-based speaker-and-room correction in home theatera parallel universe to audiophiliais almost universal. Because in reverse, you don't need to buy new hardware, if you don't have a perfect digital signal.Īnd after all, those who don't care about audioquality don't have to go into the 'Audiophile mode'. If you are not satisfied with the sound after that, you can look into new hardware :-). The 'Audiophile Mode' would state that there is everything done in MusicBee what can be done to achieve the best sound quality.

Music is all about feeling: And feeling also travels with sound quality. And this before you face things like hardware jitter correction etc. And whatever equipment you have: better quality of the digital music signal will lead to better results in analog sound quality. But however, many people do not know that messing around with the volume sliders, using DirectSound, normalize volume, replay gain and all those functions, which are definitly nice to have, mean a degression in audio quality. Of course you can set all the settings manually.
