AIMP and Sound HD with the new surround in Windows

[BienSoundPC]

Bose Spatial Dispersion is for 2 channels that are divided into 3 and for higher frequencies is used in this hardware surround solutions

Bose has been working with hardware surround solutions for a long time http://noaudiophile.com/Bose_901/





We used the Bose L1 Compact system as a stage soundbar

Acoustic Performance: Generous coverage — C-shaped line array, featuring 8 articulated 2" neodymium drivers; 180-degree horizontal coverage with wide vertical dispersion, allowing your audience to hear clearly whether they are seated or standing, even off to the extreme sides in small to medium venues.

At the Rezydent hotel in Sopot we have tested music playback in a large room with very difficult acoustics



The PA set that serves the artists and a simple laptop allowed to play Music of the World from Polish Radio 3 broadcasts on the Internet. Processing into analog signal for the stage set was in a laptop with Windows 10 and AIMP, which was optimally configured to work with 192kHz / 32 bit oversampling.



The chinch inputs (RCA, phono) are easily accessible. It is a very practical solution that provides good sound for music played in rooms with difficult acoustics.



Cheap copies of L1 are now available for around half a thousand Euro https://www.thomann.de/gb/ld_systems_ma ... 9&reload=1

It is important to faithfully reproduce the music from vinyl


Interesting possibilities are offered by Burmester 175 from Germany https://www.burmester.de/en/Turntable/175

https://www.burmester.de/media/89/a3/ce ... er-lr2.pdf
The 175 is designed as a turnkey table, which Burmester calls an “active” turntable, which means it has a built-in phono stage. At the outset, in early prototype form, that inserted phono stage was a Model 100. The one in the production model is more of a distillation of what’s best on a Model 100 for the typical user. This means the very small signals from the pick-up to be gently amplified after the shortest possible path. We’re talking a little less than 30cm from cartridge tag to phono stage. This phono stage contains all ‘the good bits’ from the Model 100 (i.e., almost everything except the on-board MM phono circuit, A-D converter, and the VU meter) and these have been optimised for use inside the 175 and allow external voltage values at a superior level. If you decide to move away from the supplied cartridge, the phono stage is designed for moving coil only and is adjustable for load (this is one of the few immediately visible changes to the production model from the prototype shown at Munich ‘17 – the phono stage controls were on the front panel and arenow moved to the rear of the deck).

Faithfully reproduced music can be saved in wav with 48kHz studio sampling. GoldVawe from Canada can be used for this.

It also allows any compression to FLAC format

Free Lossless Audio Codec is an audio coding format for lossless compression of digital audio, developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation, and is also the name of the free software project producing the FLAC tools, the reference software package that includes a codec implementation. Digital audio compressed by FLAC's algorithm can typically be reduced to between 50 and 70 percent of its original size[4] and decompress to an identical copy of the original audio data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC

or in m4a with Advanced Audio Coding 48 kHz max.192 kbps

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is an audio coding standard for lossy digital audio compression. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieved higher sound quality than 20th century MP3 encoders at the same bit rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding

Perhaps the program from Germany is also useful mp3DirectCut Fast MP3 and AAC cutter

Cut and edit MP3 and AAC fast and easily https://mpesch3.de/

mp3DirectCut is a fast and extensive audio editor for encoded MP3 and AAC. Without re-encoding directly cut, crop, split and join your tracks, create fades on MP3 and much more. Direct lossless editing saves encoding time and preserves the audio quality of encoded tracks. The built in recorder creates MP3 on the fly. With Cue sheets, Pause detection or Auto cue you can easily divide long files.

download and test it https://www.aimp.ru/?do=download.file&id=21

On April 12, 2022 a beta of AIMP with 64 bit support appeared and the author starts on the blog: [url] http://www.aimp.ru/blogs/?p=1171 [/ url]

Today we have started public beta-testing of AIMP for Windows v5.03. As we have announced, this release brought native Windows 64-bit support. Since now, player will releases in two editions: 32-bit and 64-bit.

With BienSondPC optimally set for AIMP, you can already hear that it is even better.



A motherboard with a separate audio section was used, in which the CPU works at 48 GHz and RAM with half of that.

more than a high-performance loudspeakerhttps://eu.kef.com/pages/ls50-wireless-2

Owners of the LS50 Wireless may be wondering what’s new? The answer: pretty much everything. The original was fantastic, but LS50 Wireless II is better in every respect, with improved sound, better connectivity and usability thanks to the brand new W2 wireless platform.

…the combination of KEF’s Uni-Q driver and plenty of internal amplifier power delivers a focused, involving sound way beyond expectations for speakers so small.”

"...wir sprechen von ikonischem Design. Nur wenige Lautsprecher können das Wort auch nur an sich heranlassen. Hier ist der maximale Kandidat. Die LS50 Wireless II ist die neueste Generation von vielen Vorgängern. Selbst absolute Laien erkennen sie. Ein Kompaktling, der scheinbar nur mit einer Membran mit Metallglanz auskommt. Das stimmt so natürlich nicht. Was wir als Schallwandler sehen, ist vielmehr der nächste Geniestreich nach dem Design. Es ist eine Koax-Konstruktion. Runderherum schwingt ein Bass/Mitteltöner, in der Mitte liegt das Herz für den Hochtöner. Also zwei Membrane auf einen Punkt. Was das für Klangfans so wichtig macht: wir haben eine Punktschallquelle. Alles erreicht uns aus einer zentralen Achse. So bauen Könige und Kaiser.

KEF LS50 Wireless II, bir araya getirdiği çok sayıda özellik bakımından ilgimi çeken bir ürün. O nedenle yakından incelemeye karar verdim. İlk fırsatta dinlemeyi de planlıyorum. Bu yazıda tam bir ürün incelemesinden çok, LS50 Wireless II ile neyin nasıl yapılabileceğine hızlıca bakmak istiyorum.
