A quick follow-up video with room correction enabled?

@@StellarAudyssey there is a new app coming out soon. Hopefully, it will work on more devices and I can test the room correction. I am not sure it will change my conclusion as the room correction only works up to 250Hz. The bass on this system is great anyway as I pointed out in the review. It has some issues further up the frequency range. Still a good system overall though 😉

@@abritishaudiophile7314 It might not change significantly... but you need to give the benefit of the doubt... at least. It's a pity that you don't have access to iPhone. Great review Tarun!!!... as usual

From the comments here down below, your subscribers seem to really want you do redo this review because you didn't include the room correction. The effects of room correction up to 250Hz will also affect how you perceive the midrange. I suggest you borrow an iPhone from a friend to do the room correction.

As others have requested, please do a follow up review with the room correction working. BUT, please find out how it works and explain it in your own way. I have heard of other speakers having electronic room correction. But without additional drivers to control dispersion like the B&O's, I have yet to figure out they work other than just attenuating certain frequencies. If that is all they are doing, that is not room correction. It is room compensation. I assume the rear driver has something to do with it, but the frequencies are so long below 250 hz and the distance between drivers so short, the control would "seem" to be minimal at best. I would assume they are sending a delayed/phase altered signal it of the rear driver to cancel side dispersion (figure 8sound output) but again, the distance is between drivers us so minimal, it seems like the effect would be more disruptive than controlling. In large stadiums they will put a ring of low frequency drivers around the main stack and alter the time/phase domain to cancel bass frequencies outside of the venue so as not to annoy the neighbors. But that ring is distanced far enough away from the main stack to actually be able to cancel the extremely long wavelengths effectively. So I would love to hear the theory behind this speaker's bass control.

Thank you DP. I think that would be great. I will wait for the new app to come out and when it is compatible with iPads or Android phones. I don’t have an iPhone.

If you have a setup closer to walls and empty corners the room correction will have much more benefit than in his setup, which doesn’t need much correction probably to begin with. So the outcome of the review would probably be almost the same.

@@gerard3797 I agree, the correction doesn’t offer a night and day difference unless there is something obviously wrong in your room set up.

Hi David, I understand. It certainly isn’t a product for a traditional audiophile.

On the other hand for many it’s an incredible headache with confusing advice and generally many newbies are left with the impression they need to throw huge piles of money towards making sure they have the perfect setup to get the perfect sound. Technology is always the path forward especially when it simplifies and provides a level field for everyone

Sure, but if you just want a hifi quality system for listening to music on its great. I’d depends whether the focus of your hobby is the kit or the music. .

@@richardsinger01 I believe there are ample opportunities for the fun of playing with the kit with these actives. You can always opt out of the wireless and go straight in with XLR which provides opportunities to incorporate pre-amps of your liking as well as DACS. With tubes or without, for example. Then you always hook up a TT. What TT to use, what phono stage, what cart, etc. So there's plenty of fun with that end of the kit. What it eliminates is the headache and never ending search for the right amp/pre-amp match for your speakers and for the never ending search for those speakers that give you just that sound you want (which doesn't exist which means many pairs of speakers needed). Instead, here you simply play with the master tunings. Maybe this is the future of hi-fi where the end user is in total control of the up-stream sound they listen to?

Just for getting rid of the speaker cable nonsense these are a breath of fresh air. You can play to your hearts content with the tunings, room correction comparison of external dacs, preamps, phono amps. Or after my 40yrs of audiophillia, just stick on an Album, CD or Stream and listen to the music. Also knowing the speakers are protected against overload and sound very good at low volumes, something that traditional set ups always lack.

Very interesting. Thank you J Ked 😊👍

More power is always a bonus but the H95 should do a good job with that speaker 😊👍

Thank you for watching and sharing Hendrik.

Mine on order too, roll on next month ...

Also don't forget feature no. 3) The Low Level Enhancement (LLE) making the tonal balance the same regardless of volume level. Other systems only have exactly one optimal volume level at which the sound/tonal balance is right.

You have bought Chinese assembled with Malaysian and Indonesian parts from a warehouse in Denmark - you have shit speakers.

@@aatt2895 That's a bold assumption, do you even have these speakers??

They tend to be from companies that also do studio/pro speakers. PMC and ATC come to mind 😊

I appreciate the suggestion 😊

Thank you for watching and commenting Will 😊👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Yours still the best balance of tech talk and subjective listening testing out there. I'd say do a follow up vid when you can do with room correction as intended, because when that works well (can't speak for Buchardt's version...) it's a game changer. If the room is half the battle (or more according to some), and properly designed and employed room correction handles any anomalies produced by the room, then the difference is night and day. Obviously those companies like Anthem that have been working on that tech for decades are ahead of the curve, but that's the tech of of the future that will be common place in audio sooner than later. Some of it is much better than others...

@@willbrink thank you Will. There is a new app coming and various other upgrades. I will wait for that and do a follow up. I can’t test the room correction as it is at the moment as I have an Android phone.

@@astra004 I will ask Mads how far away that is 😉

Hi Mark, they will connect to any WiSA device. I like the Navis range. Would like to get them in for review 😊

Good speakers. ProAc are yet to embrace the YT reviewing platform. I asked them last year and they politely declined to send me products to review 😢

Hi Paul, thank you for watching and you very considered comments 😊

You can add your own dac or pre-amp. Just ditch the wireless and use the XLR all analog. I've already seen YT videos reporting some interesting sounds with tube pre-amps with the A500's.

@@hemantishwaran5741 I thought he said that if you use XLR, the analogue signal gets converted back to digital at the speaker and then back to analogue by the speaker’s internal DAC. In which case using an external DAC is pointless. Unless I miss interpreted that?

@@paulkelleway8032 You have it right. Analog gets converted to digital and then back to analog. Yet this still works (meaning, you can fiddle with the sound on a DSP active by tinkering with the downstream analog). I've seen this done with other DSP active speakers and have a set myself where I do just this where I run my own DAC through XLR to the DSP actives. I'm kind of surprised this isn't so well known since your DAC is likely to be way superior to anything on board an active. That's not why I'd use an active, it would be more about the attack from the amplifiers and the ability to control cross-over. You can see John Darko's YT video "Any color you like with .the Schit Freya +" where he does this experiment. I also saw a YT video with the A700's where someone used their own DAC and found the sound quite nice.

@@hemantishwaran5741 interesting stuff, I’m not expert on electronics but I as far as I am aware, class d amps covert to digital and back to analogue anyway. But if you use class A or AB amps in actives, the signal you feed them is not messed with, but then you have the problem of disposing of excess amplifier heat and the fact you need more space in the cabinet than class D. But ultimately I agree that the advantages of actives is power and dynamics, they are made specifically to get the best from the drive units by the designer. Ultimately if they sound good who cares. 🙂

The A500s are a good speaker which will just get better with updates and upgrades over time. The things that I picked up on most people won’t even notice. If you like them then that is all that matters 😊

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Yea, but no but...what if I like the Heritage Special's even more? Or Dynaudio's Confidence range? Although I realise that it's all just a hedonic treadmill of very diminishing returns after a certain price point...which is why I'd find hi-fi review very difficult. E.g. I have an ancient Yulong D100 headphone DAC and a modern favourably reviewed Topping D50s. When I compare them I can't hear any appreciable difference switching quickly between them. It drives me nuts! One part of me says "there must be a difference?!" and the other part of me goes "hmm, well yeah I know, but I can't hear it".

@@BeatPoet67 that’s why being an audiophile can be a blessing and a curse 😊

Thank you for sharing your experiences Rudolf 👍

Got the A500. Then there were the software and wisa hiccups. So I decided to go for the Primare swap and use cables again. It was a bit better, but again not much wow factor I had with the Devialet Raidho combo. Furthermore, I got the feeling I should have some form of roomcorrection. Because I could get a good price on a young I150, I went for it. I never really understood the reviews about anolog sound…until now! When I hooked it up to the Ifi Zen stream with generic usb cable (the Zen was suppose to be temporary until Roon ready on Primare), I could immediately hear more fluidity and less harshness in for example “Keith don’t go”. When listening to “Hey now” of London Grammar, her voice is less grainy. And then there is the bass management. The room correction did it’s thing. No more booming compared to the Primare. It was a breeze incorporating a subwoofer. It was then I discovered I also listened to the a500 while connected to sub outs. They sounded bit recessed but definitely an option when you want to party with an extra set of active speakers 😉 When I switched to a curious cable, the sound got bigger in height but it was less of a wall of incohesive sound the Primare produced. This becomes clear playing “Riverside” from Agnes Obel. The piano is well separated from the voices. Don’t get me wrong. The Primare sounds good and detailed, but there are more layers to be discovered by the I150. And the fluidity is addictive!

@@CedricRachmad thank you for sharing Chris 😊

Thank you for sharing your experiences Victoria 😊👍

I would like to revisit the A500s down the line. Mads pointed out that upcoming DSP changes should address my criticisms and a calibrated mic will allow me to test the room correction 😉

Thank you IMO 😊

@@abritishaudiophile7314 P300 would be interesting too. Curious how it compares to S400 mk1 & mk2..

Thank you Daniel. Mads has been nothing but a gentlemen in all my dealings with him. I am sure his customers are in good hands 😊👍

Out of interest why is the source of manufacturing an issue to you? You can hardly buy anything that is not made in China nor contain components from them.

Human rights. Uighars for starters. You may be surprised to find that there are many manufacturers of both amplifiers, loudspeakers and DACs who manufacture and source in Europe and North America. For example only, Amphion Loudspeakers and Atoll Amplifiers. You may have to pay more but not always. There is no such thing as a free lunch. All of my existing hifi equipment is now Non Chinese.

@@danielcramer9600 Okay from a moral standpoint of the country’s actions fair enough. But how far can you take this stand when your phone and computer and batteries are probably made there. And yes I am well aware of other countries that produce such equipment. In fact 28 years ago I nearly purchased active tannoys, have looked into ATC and more recently the KEF LS50’s but they are also built in China. I’m not knocking the human rights issue and fair play to you.

@@justlookingaround9834 I fear we are drifting away from the basis of my comment agreeing with Tarun's critique and in particular with the acoustic XLR conversion problem. My criticisms as a possible buyer became moot when I found out where it was manufactured. However, to answer your valid questions, my computer was made in S Korea, my batteries in Belgium and my 6 year old Moto will be replaced with a S Korean mobile phone in the near future.

I appreciate the suggestion 😊

That is always going to be a concern with complex system but knowing Mads the support from the manufacturer will be exemplary 😊👍

Hi

@@adamsonlinearrayspeakersha87 That’s why I don’t invest in any of that stuff 2.1 or just 2 Chanel Sit back with a drink and a cigar and enjoy the music

Case in point PMC active speakers with removeable modules just try finding a new PMC DS-001 or a New Flying Mole Dad-100 that will fit into the DB1SA or TB2SA PMC TB2SA Flying mole DAD-M100 PMC TB2SA PMC DS-001 PMC DB1SA PMC DS-001 PMC DB1SA Flying mole DAD-M100

This is something that have been taken into consideration when we designed them. The module is very easy to swap should something break. It's a easy 5 min job, only a screwdriver is needed and you are covered under warranty when you do this even. We will release a video on this subject and show how to do it. We are also having upgraded modules on the road map, so when better parts become available we can do an version 2 of the module. And this can in theory also result in version 3,4 and so on in the future. Flexibility is the key with our active speakers :)

Please let me know how you get on with them 😉

Too tricky to advise without being there. I would just set the delay time based on the manufacturer’s recommendations 😉

That depends on many factors 😊

Hi Raphael, you have to take any criticism I have of the A500s in context. It may not be the last word in midrange refinement but it is a good sounding system with great dynamics and bass response. It is also a very good choice for people who want the convenience and flexibility of few boxes and wireless connectivity. Definitely worthy of the Recommended status 😉

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Apreciate you taking the time to respond Tarun. I can see where you're coming from. I simply perceived a slight disconnect between your experience and your conclusion. Not sure why but I did. Nevertheless, I don't doubt it's an interesting concept in itself. Part of me can't help thinking about what happens when CPU gets obsolete or electronics breaks down... Then you're out of luck (unless Mads' hub box is the actual brain that needs updating?). Versus traditional integrated that can last 20+ years, attached to a decent, compact and affordable Bluetooth bridge/DAC a la iFi Audio or Topping... Slightly more space but sounds more sustainable. Still love the idea of loading sound profiles and get some kind of "new speaker feel" as one does while tube rolling. Kudos to Buchardt for pushing the envelope. Never a dull moment in hi-fi! Cheers Tarun!

Thank you Raphael 😊👍

Currently the only thing I can't use with my Android phone is the room correction sw. I can stream Tidel directly using Google Cast up to FLEC quality. The new improved app / software will come with a microphone and have EQ and other user sound adjustments. Even without room correction in a room with poor acoustic properties, by playing with positioning and a bit of toein they sound great. They really can dig down to 25 hertz using the 2.5 way tune. I like Tarun perfer the 3 way you give up a little SPL and low grunt but bass tightens, mids open and sound stange almost as good as the S400s IMHO. So if I want to rock out load to AC/DC and shake the floor I use the 2.5. Then if Im listen to jazz Bill Even Trio I load the 3 way tune. Also Mads will keep the improvements coming so this systems sound quality and flexibility will continue to improve.

I wouldn't get hung up on the room correction aspect. This is only for frequencies < 500Hz I think. I received them a couple of days ago and haven't bothered with this as I'm not an iphone user. I have to say I'm really enjoying them so far. A review can only take you so far, you really need to hear them to decide if they're to your taste or not.

Thank you buddy. The stands would be extra 😊👍

Thank you Manoj. 😊👍 The room correction will affect the overall tonal balance as you describe. Unfortunately, my criticisms are being blown out of proportion. What I pointed out about upper midrange refinement and the systems ability to render fine timbral detail is unlike to change with the room correction system.

@@abritishaudiophile7314 true, and i am not harping on that comment of yours. I think all reviews of the a500 talk about overall sound quality / listen-ability in favor of detail and clarity. I would probably re-run a test if i haven't been able to establish reference conditions, and not put out any results or opinions till then.

The AE1s have a more natural tonality but the A500s have more resolution, dynamics, and will play a lot louder 😊

Thank you Mike. I appreciate your support. Certainly, the literature could be clearer but I have to take some responsibility here too. I assumed because the room correction works on IOS devices 6S and newer that I would be fine with my 2020 iPad Pro. In my defence there were no error codes or anything that suggested that there was a compatibility issue. The program ran without a glitch. It was only when I listened that I felt something wasn’t quite right. At least it confirms that there is nothing wrong with my hearing if nothing else. I would be surprised if the new app isn’t available to existing owners. Hopefully, it will be compatible with more devices 😊👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 I say this as a software developer - the responsibility to make it clear whether software will behave itself on your device belongs with the team that built it and sold it to you. It's early days with new tech though, it just sounds like an oversight. Releasing an interim update with a message saying it's not yet calibrated for iPads (when launched on an iPad) is how I'd handle it.

It does say iphone 6S and newer, I pads aren’t mentioned. It’s an oversight I’ll grant you but more people have phones and waving a iPad seems odd. The new hub will be a Burchardt product with additional features, that Mads will offer at a discount to current older hub owners. I think that is fair.

@@justlookingaround9834 I agree. Mads will look after his existing customers 😉

It’s just about clear documentation. This is the only review I have seen that makes the not unreasonable assumption that and iPad would suffice in lieu on 6s or above. Those in the know realise that it is about the mic calibration.

It is becoming a regular feature 😊👍

Thank you JLA. Unfortunately, I fear that my criticisms of this product will get blown out of proportion. It is not the most refined in the midrange and I agree that the room correction system won’t help here. It is still a good sounding system with exceptionally good bass dynamics and control 😊👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Yes, you have ruffled a few feathers especially on the Burchardt owners FB page. It’s interesting because Z’s review was gushing and he didn’t activate the room correction. I was eagerly anticipating your review (as I have come to appreciate your reviews) and I admit was disappointed it wasn’t more positive. But it reinforces that all HiFi product reviews are subjective and have equal merit. I will say that they are capable of a performance that belies their physical size but with that, there are caveats and I think that is a lack of delicacy in the midrange. But as a simple one box solution that removes the need for amplifier choice which offers streaming and room correction in simple setup; they are a great choice for people who just want to listen to a plethora of music and get away from clutter and having to balance components in a system. They can also still appeal to tweakers with the master tunings and Mads ongoing customer support is exemplary. Sorry for such a long reply.

Hi Ajit, that is the problem with hype. Things get blown out of proportion. You can’t blame the manufacturer, they are just trying to get the product out there. Mads Buchardt is a good guy. His company produces competitive products and I have no doubt he will look after his customers well. 😊

Can’t agree with the phrasing of your comment. ‘Most hyped up brands’ well that’s not the owners fault nor purchaser. I had a long reply but the iPad lost it going into standby. But the summary is, What owners think this is a bargain? You can send them back if you don’t like them. There is great support. They are a one stop solution. Who doesn’t think there are other options?people choose this option, what a ridiculous comment. Everyone knows there are flaws with all systems. I’m 55 I don’t want loads of options. It’s been a year of lockdowns, these have been a fantastic purchase, they aren’t perfect nor the last thing in HiFi but they sound very good especially at lower levels. And you can tweak with the master tunings with more improvements to the OS coming.

I spent a couple of months with these speakers. Fair to say they were well broken in 😉

Thank you Hermant. I agree that you can do some great things with DSP. I was referring to where the money gets spent in the speaker. In each A500 is an ADC, DSP engine, 3 DACs and 3 amplifier modules. In an analogue active speaker like the ATC SCM19s there is just the analogue electronic crossover and amplifier modules. You pay your money and take your choice 😉

@@abritishaudiophile7314 You make an excellent point as you always do. To me the key difference is the master tunings making it possible to tune the speakers. That's what sets this miles apart from analog actives. It seems the major issue in your video was limited master tunings and room adjustment that did not work in your set up (by the way I think you have a very large room, much larger than most audiophiles listening room, maybe A700's are a better fit?). But I am confident Buchardt will address those issues (from your recent posting this looks to be related to the use of an iPad). No doubt more tunings are on their way. I really like the idea of ditching the wireless here and going all analog with XLR. Downstream you employ your fav DAC/pre-amp giving you even more customization which then gets DSP'ed with the master tunings.

Definitely more tunings on the way and the system will continue to get better 😉
