The equalizer
is finally here. And, there's a lot to share with you. But first,
a few weeks ago, I was busy testing this equalizer when a friend dropped by.
He's not a real techie, but he does love his music.
Anyway he's about 60 and I was playing a 16,000hz test tone when he came in. He
didn't hear a thing. So, I played a 14,000hz and finally at 12,500hz he
finally heard the tone. Well,
the funny thing is that I had just written about how we all lose our hearing as
we age, drat. (See
today's tutorial.) And how an equalizer could dramatically help by boosting
just the frequencies that we are losing.But
he didn't want an equalizer. He wanted my test disc so he could
really spend some time and see what he could hear and how his car and portable
sounded with just tones.So,
I made him a copy of my personal test disc and after lunch he took off, disc in
hand. The other day he called and said, "Drew, I had my wife listen too,
but I don't really know what each of the frequencies are." OK
to make a long story short, I duplicated all the tones on my disc and added a
verbal ID to each tone the second time I put it on the disc.What
does all this mean? OK here's what I've done. I'm copying
my own personal Test CD with all the tones, the sweep, pink noise and
white noise, plus my narration on the 2nd set and including it with each equalizer
as I describe below. Take
a look.Plus,
if you don't need an equalizer today, and you don't already own a test disc, you
can get a copy of mine for $5. It's
at the bottom of the equalizer review.So,
can you hear 16,000hz? I can and I'm almost 57. But more
important can you hear the effect of not hearing 16,000hz and many other frequencies
in your music because of your source material, your system's speakers,
or the hardness or softness of your room? Why
not check out my equalizer review and today's tutorial on Frequencies. It's called
"Drew's Frequency Equalization Tutorial - The More You know, The Better It
Sounds." Here's
the Tutorial LinkWell,
that was more than I planned. Check out today's quiz on Frequencies and
please be sure to let me know what you think in today's poll.Oh,
and the most important thing, check out what the equalizer can do
for your musical enjoyment. I guarantee that using this equalizer will dramatically
improve everything you listen to from now on.
It's not a small or subtle difference. It's
massive. There's absolutely no chance, none at all, that you'll be disappointed.
Here's the Equalizer Review. Thanks for reading. Your DAKonian Buddy,

| Smart
Sound Detonator Equalizer, Spectrum Analyzer and Drew's (my) Test Disc.Make
all your music dramatic and dynamic. REALLY. It's
really amazing how many people don't have equalizers now that CDs and MP3 have
given us so much to work with.
Have you checked out the Smart
Sound Detonator Equalizer Review? Imagine infusing
your music with the powerful rich drama that the deep bass of a string bass or
contra bassoon adds. It's really amazing that all the sounds are actually in our
music but we can't hear them because of: 1. Analogy source material 2. Poor recording 3. Room Acoustics 4. Imaging problems 5. Our own ears 6. More. . .  Now
you can boost the trumpets, violins or flutes to sound just the way you want.
Add mid-bass without giving your favorite vocalist a
sore throat.Now
you can take control of and sculpt your music so it's vibrant, alive, and literally
throbbing. This isn't
a small improvement. And if I sound excited, I am. Over 280,000 DAKonians
have added equalizers to their systems in the past. I guarantee you'll be thrilled
with the results.What's
really great is that by using the in/out defeat switch,
you can instantly hear the exact improvements you've made. I'm not
even slightly worried that I've raised your expectations too high. Once you engage
this equalizer, you simply won't ever take it out of your system again.Check out the Equalizer Review Here Top |
