Burn in track?
« on: February 21, 2013, 10:02:37 PM »
Does anyone here have a burn in track that they use for... burn in that they can upload for us skepticals to use?

I read Marv uses 5 minutes of white noise at 80db with 1 minute break intervals.

Just play music if you want to give it a try.  White noise can actually be damaging.  We've damaged car speakers when a client requested an extended burn-in.  I stopped using it after that.  If there are any changes it's from loosening up the mechanical structures (tribology and elasticity) and/or wearing out/damaging the same.  When speakers operate normally, they play music so that's how use them.  When I break in a car, I drive it, I don't put it in on a shaker rig for 500 hours.

I've used a combination of music, drum tracks, and pink noise - WITH rest periods, after the pink noise, to let the VC cool down.

I typically use wide band dynamic music, things like enthusiastic orchestral scores or well recorded death metal.

You HAVE to use at least 90% Yanni for the first 600 hours or you will never see full potential, youll have less crispy highs, more flatulent lows
