This's car audio for you: ideal staging and imaging is not impressed sound strange

Keep in mind that the ideal staging and imaging is not impressed sound strange, phasey and artificial. He should have created a strong impression of the stage and the whole image. Well good luck, good luck!

Many questions about the staging and imaging and its application in our vehicles. Actually what is staging? And what is the imaging? Let us peeled one by one in this article.

Note this article is intended for the staging and imaging in everyday contexts and not in the context for the contest and others.

Staging can be defined as a place where musicians play the musical examples on the concert stage, in recording studios, in pubs, in restaurants and others.

There is a derivation of this staging of high-stage (stage height), width of the stage (stage width) and depth of the stage (stage depth).

The bottom line is dependent on the stage where he recorded the acoustic conditions (ambience) and is influenced also by the acoustic recording is reproduced.

Many systems are capable of producing a good tonal accuracy, but failed to reproduce the ambience of the recording. What causes it?



Acoustic. Plays a very large acoustic sound reproduction is produced for example when recording a song 35 girls choir at the Cathedral of Westminster Abbey that physically have a stage width of 45 meters, 15 meters stage height and stage depth ranging from soprano to alto at the front until the back 9 meters and the distance to the recording microphone about 6 meters.

It would be hard pressed to be perfectly reproduced in the distance the car pillar to pillar width for example, only 1 meter in height 1.4 meters and it is only 0.4 meters.

So required careful planning and use of quality tools to reproduce approaching its original condition.

Imaging is the position of each of the singers on the stage is clear and tangible example the lead singer in the middle of accompaniment in the left, organist at the right. So imaging is the content or the content sounds we hear on the stage.

Here we see clearly that between the actual staging and imaging related, that is why often both of these things are often juxtaposed.

Well what can be done is to reproduce in proportion to the installation and settings carefully.

Generally with the help of first-class installation techniques, audio equipment on board, and Angling accurate positioning, cutting x-over, and assisted with a special device or a kind of equalizer and DSP (Digital Sound Processor), the staging and imaging can be reproduced at least approach although it does not can be perfect 100 percent with the original sound.

Now how to get the staging and imaging are step by step? Here are some tips that can be done.

1. Before starting to keep in mind when doing the process 2 to 9 below, in order to record all the process below (2 to 9) and repeat if there is a shortage in the process.

2. Choose a car with the contours of the dashboard of a wide and flat, as much as possible the type of cabin singles such as MPV or SUV (but by no means sedan not only challenge is greater). Useful to get the pillar to pillar width and depth of the dashboard is ideal for positioning and Angling is ideal.

3. Installing and setting in the installer is experienced and willing to work on this project carefully and are patient enough in a comprehensive setting.

4. Plug the well silencer on the ground floor, doors, ceilings, hood, including the fender and dashboard. Do this carefully so that road noise, engine noise and mechanical noise can be reduced as low as possible

5. Choose Head Units, Power, Speakers including processor that has a distortion and noise as small as possible so that the outcome more predictable.

6. Often audition live concert and CD recording livenya use as a comparison

7. Speaker Placement, plug the speaker midbass, midrange and tweeter at the adjacent position and try to have a different path length thin difference between left and right speakers. Some cars I see use the kick panel to anticipate this. But then the ideal stage for high-mounted tweeters should be ear height. For that experimentation is key!

8. Setting tonal balance first do not rush to catch up staging and imaging (on this will be discussed in a special article about the tonal balance). Believe balanced tonal balance that will help produce an accurate staging and imaging. If you use the eq then use eq with independent channels with a lot of bands in order to solve the problem at a particular frequency either peak or dip

9. Crossover settings either passively or actively with a planned experiment, use the most optimal cut point based on the specifications of the speakers. Special attention shall be made on a different speaker brands and series.

10. Use the time alignment (if you use the processor) carefully, measure carefully and try focus on an even keel in the middle of the stage. Focus on sound balanced single seat in one position or two-seat listening position (dual listening position.

Finally, one thing that can later impress us with your installers skill is when you are with a full condition limitations, but to achieve results very maximum.

XO-1 is considered as the fastest RC cars in the world



Plano, - certainly, with such capabilities, the most powerful existing supersport in the world. it certainly will not be able to defeat him. Because the RC, too, the XO-1 is considered as the fastest RC cars in the world.

Do not joke about the car Radio Control (RC) version of this traxxas made. Cars with a length of 68.6 cm or 1:7 scale compared to the real car, it could "menclat" or reach a top speed of 161 km per hour (kph) in just 4.92 seconds. As for the 0 - 97kpj (0-60mil) - RC car that is named XO-1 is - just takes 2.4 seconds.


Electric motor
XO-1 can menclat because RC uses a system of motion all-wheel or all-wheel drive (AWD). All four wheels rotated directly by electric motors at each wheel. Amazingly, the types of brushless motors that are used or without borstel. Others, supported weight, just 4.75 kg, batteries included.

The greatness of man-made electric motors called Big Block Brushless traxxas, working on the voltage 1.650 kV. Other packages with this RC is a lithium-polymer 3-cell 5000 mAh capacity.

To control (remote control) used the latest TQi traxxas radio system. The attractive feature of this remote control, before being used must download the application traxxas links to your iPhone or iPod touch that is placed at the bottom. Well in this part of the performance parameters, between the steering wheel and gas sensitivity, the percentage of steering, power brakes and gas setting is set.

This application will also be informed (show) the speed of this car when applause in a few seconds. Another RC information displayed is round and the temperature of the motor and battery voltage.

Aerodynamics & downforce
Interestingly enough, to prevent the body menclat into the air as applause (because of body lightly), the car carefully designed on the computer to obtain maximum downforce. In addition, in order to go fast, smooth surface of the body is made!

The plan, the XO-1 goes on sale traxxas on 30 December 1100 at a price of U.S. dollars. Just a reminder, the RC is certainly not suitable as children's toys. Even to play it too, sure the owner will be trouble. Unless a circuit oval with a long straight track!



iPhone or iPod touch
For the observer, is certainly a great ability to cause problems when playing it. Since it is very fast, certainly can not be played on the floor of the warehouse or complex residential seamless way. Must be played on an oval circuit.

Another problem, the size of it all, not easy to keep a steady eye on the XO-1 while sliding. Even to know its speed, traxxas should make a special application that can downloaded and operated through an iPhone or iPod touch.
