Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

one off, 180 degrees

warm = de-emphasizes the higher frequencies not accentuates

dark: A warm, mellow, excessively rich quality in reproduced sound. The audible effect of a frequency response which is clockwise-tilted across the entire range, so that output diminishes with increasing frequency. Compare "light."

warm: The same as dark, but less tilted. A certain amount of warmth is a normal part of musical sound.

vs.

lean: Very slightly bass-shy. The effect of a very slight bass rolloff below around 500Hz. Not quite "cool."

light: Lean and tipped-up. The audible effect of a frequency response which is tilted counterclockwise. Compare "dark."

cool: Moderately deficient in body and warmth, due to progressive attenuation of frequencies below about 150Hz.

cold: The same as "cool," only more so. Having somewhat excessive upper-range output and weak lower-range output.

etched: Very crisp and sharply outlined, focused to an almost excessive degree.
