Your television or your soundbar deliver good sound, but possibly more. You do not have to go to the hardware, but it is due to small, easily overlookable things such as settings. With 5 tips you get the last bit of your sound.
1. Volume too high
It may sound completely trivial, but behind the fact is a technical reason: If your output device - be it TV, soundable or boxing - is too loud, this can lead to poorer tone.
Increasing volume can lead to distortions in the case of speakers.This is because the channels do not limit the performance, but deliver as much as the user set. An excessive signal can exceed the resilience of the membranes in the loudspeaker drivers and lead to over -control and distortions.
Disturbances can also be mechanical.So it can happen that the coil swings too much inside the driver and rubs on the magnets. This creates an audible scratch. In extreme cases, the channel can even overheat too much power.
You can do that:First and foremost, of course, only adjust the speaker or TV as loudly as it is compatible with the device (and your ears). If you want a higher volume, pay attention to speakers that have higher wattage. Higher wattage usually ensure louder speakers.
2. The loudspeakers are damaged
You should think that you hear the difference when the speaker is damaged, but the differences are sometimes marginal. If you don't pay attention, you may not notice it at first. In any case, they can happen relatively quickly.
- Overload due to excessive volume or performance:If an amplifier delivers too much power or the speakers are permanently operated at their load limit, this can damage the membranes or coils.
- Mechanical damage: People or vibrations can damage membranes, suspensions or housings.
- Moisture:High humidity can soften membranes, cause corrosion and damage electronic components.
- Dust and dirt:Collections of dust in the coils or ventilation openings can lead to defects in the long term.
- Tension- Sudden power bumps, such as lightning strikes or unstable power supply, can damage sensitive components.
You can do that:If the sound sounds somehow tin or indistinct, it can be due to one of the above options. Usually there is not much to be done, except to give the broken component for repairs or to replace the speaker.
If this happens to you with the TV speakers, you can redirect to an external audio source like a sound bar.
3. Audio source with low quality
Sometimes the devil is not in the hardware, but in the software. Depending on which content you are looking, the sound quality could be better and only because the wrong option is selected at the streaming service of your choice.
You can do that:Therefore checks the provider's audio options on which you watch films and series. Sometimes the mixture of the content does not match the number of channels that you use. This is often the case with TV speakers. Then dialogues are too quiet and noise too loud.
4. False preset on TV
Not only the audio source can be better than you believe, but also the preset on your television. They usually come in different versions with various default settings. A voice preset, for example, highlights spoken, but makes the rest of the sound flat.
You can do that:If necessary, change the sound pressets to your TV. This also applies if you have connected a soundbar or other audio devices via HDMI and grind the sound.
What applies to the television also applies to sound, sound deck, loudspeaker and Co.
5. Unfavorable loudspeaker constellation
This only applies if you use several speakers. If you place the sound of your TV or, for example, a soundbar, you can skip the point.
The placement of your boxes can have a major impact on sound quality. Above all, make sure that they are not too close to the wall. This can create diffuse sound because the sound between the wall and speaker bounces back and forth.
You should also take into account that a certain distance from the wall should also be observed in the case of bass reflex openings leading to the rear, otherwise there could be clearly audible flow noises.
You can do that:If the loudspeakers move away from the wall as far as it works and how they don't stand in the way. Always focus directly on the listeners and at best always at ear height.
One last tip affects the subwoofer.Make sure that it is not on a surface that causes strong vibrations. This becomes a problem at the latest when you turn up the bass because it distorts the deep tones.
The best variant is to put the sub on the floor. If you have neighbors among you, an insulation mat or a commercially available carpet helps.
