Do you need to break in new speakers? Maybe. Speakers are kind of like a pair of new shoes.
Their components may need to be exercised a little bit. And because it’s probably not a great idea to flex them with your fingers, we like to set them up and run some sound through them. What frequency?
All of them. The trouble is, listening to white noise, it’s only slightly better than listening to bagpipes for the hangover. And even if you set it up yourself and go away for the weekend, your neighbors are not going to appreciate 12 or 24 hours of it while you break your speakers in.
Instead, run white noise into each channel, invert the phase on one of them, point them at each other, and tell your neighbors to thank Beat Kitchen. As for does it really work? I don’t know.
I’ve always done it and my speakers sound great. Maybe this is a correlation causation issue. It might also explain why there are no tigers in my studio.
And oh yeah, you’re seeing a product placement. I didn’t have to do this. It’s a thank you.
Thank you, Cali Audio, for hosting our workshop in LA. Thank you for committing to sponsoring three women in our program who couldn’t afford it otherwise. Thanks for giving our members a discount.
It actually means if any of you want to get a set of speakers, they’ll contribute towards an enrollment fee. You can share that with someone who belongs in a Beat Kitchen class.
