RIAA curve (曲線) ....音樂在聽RIAA是啥!

Recording 是指現場錄音麥克風收錄的音壓曲線.
1khz 以下很差大致是錄音麥克風低頻響應靈敏度差也就是性能差之故.
再此意指播放還原音壓低頻響應曲線要拉高之故.

Reproduce (也就是 playback curves)是指播放音樂時 LP放大器, 前極, 後極, 分音器, 喇叭 ....還原音壓曲線(profile)的總和.

78rpm playback curves

Usage


These EQ curves are presented as a table of "Bass Turnover Frequencies" and "10 kHz Gain Rolloffs". EQ Curves for Audacity can be generated from these Frequency and Rolloff values using the experimental Nyquist plug-in "78 RPM EQ Curve Generator". This plug-in is obtainable from the top of this Forum topic and requires Audacity 1.3.13 or laterPlease give feedback on this plug-in, or ask for help if you need it, by replying to that Forum topic.

  1. Extract 78EQCurveGen.ny from the zip file downloaded from the above Forum topic.
  2. Place 78EQCurveGen.ny in the "Plug-ins" folder inside the Audacity installation folder, then launch or restart Audacity. For more help installing the .ny file to the correct location, click here.
  3. Click Generate > 78 RPM EQ Curve. You can find help inside the plug-in by choosing one of the Help options in "Select Function or Help".
  4. Choose the curve you want from the list below.
  5. Enter the values for your chosen curve for
    • "Bass Turnover Frequency (Hz)"
    • "10 kHz Gain Rolloff (dB)"
    • "LF Shelving Frequency (Hz)" (if a value is given)
    in the equivalent boxes in the plug-in dialogue.
  6. Click "OK" in the plug-in to save the .xml file to your chosen location.
  7. Select some audio and choose Effect > Equalization.
  8. Choose "Save/Manage Curves...".
  9. Choose "Import...", navigate to the location where you saved the .xml file from 78EQCurveGen.ny, then "Open".
  10. Click "OK".




Now ...Equalization (EQ) Curves Explained


When phonograph records are made, the sound being recorded is deliberately distorted by reducing the volume of the low frequencies and increasing the volume of the high frequencies. This process, known as 'pre-emphasis', allows the low frequencies to be accommodated in the limitations of the record groove and reduces the effect of high frequency surface noise. If pre-emphasis was not carried out, the bass notes in the music would create a groove in the record that oscillated so wildly that the stylus could jump out of it on playback, and the treble notes would be drowned out by the surface noise of the stylus in the groove.
On playback, the pre-emphasis must be reversed in order to restore the original sound. This is known as 'de-emphasis' or equalization (EQ).
Modern vinyl records use a method of pre-emphasis and de-emphasis adopted by the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the 1950's, and the EQ curve used is known as the RIAA curve. However, before the RIAA curve was adopted, each record label used its own EQ curve for recording and, for these records (78rpm and early vinyl), the correct EQ curve must be used for playback.
Each 78rpm EQ curve is a combination of two filter characteristics; a bass boost curve, defined by a 'Bass Turnover' (or 3dB) frequency, and a treble cut curve, defined by a '10 kHz Gain Rolloff' parameter, i.e. a defined level of treble cut at 10 kHz.
As an example, Figure 1 below shows the characteristic of the bass boost curve defined by a 500Hz Bass Turnover, and Figure 2 shows the characteristic of the treble cut curve defined by a 10 kHz Gain Rolloff of -13.7dB. These two curves, when combined, give the characteristic shown in Figure 3.




The EQ curve may also include a Low Frequency Shelving filter, (although it is absent from the definition of most 78 rpm EQ curves). This addition reduces the effect of the bass boost at very low frequencies (typically 50 or 100 Hz) in order to attenuate low-frequency noise such as turntable rumble. Figure 4 shows the effect of a 50 Hz LF shelving filter being added to the curve in Figure 3. This is in fact the RIAA standard EQ curve.

  • COL - Some recordings require a Bass Turnover of 300 Hz or 500 Hz, a 10 kHz rolloff of -16 dB and a LF Shelving filter at 100Hz.
This is often referred to as a "Columbia curve".

G.I.P. 勵磁式號角喇叭

G.I.P Laboratory 是以復刻WE西電-勵磁式號角喇叭的公司,是在日本 YL Acoustics 復刻WE西勵磁式號角喇叭之後才開始全部單體的磁鐵都是勵磁式設計,也就是需要額外供應電源才能產生磁力勵磁喇叭號角另接

8吋全音域喇叭原是以復刻WE755A(鈷磁Alnico)為樣本 ,另補高音GIP-597A


G.I.P Laboratory 三音路設計,高音單體原廠編號是GIP-597A Model 2,它是以W. E.經典的597A高音單體為樣本復刻而成。中音則是GIP-D5015A (原WE594),前方擁有開口頗大的號角 低音單體則是GIP-W4601A,深埋在箱體裡面,以woofer horn 設計是所謂低音號角。箱體採用美松夾板製成,兩側金屬方形外殼是額外供應電源才能產生磁力勵磁式喇叭電源,採定電壓定電流源設計


這是分音器,金屬方形外殼的是電容,是油質電容,兩側木板(線軸)中復刻古時的電感,無電阻。全部以搭棚製作,紅色線材是WE的布線。
