AVRant #357: Because Ears!
Tom bows out for a week, so it’s just Liz and Rob today. There’s a peek at what it’s like when Tom’s not here to guide us after the music at the end 😉 It was rough this past week. Actor Paul Walker was killed in a car crash. And Nelson Mandela passed away at the age of 95. Our condolences and best wishes go out to their families and loved ones. Returning to lighter matters: DRONES! The internet immediately poked fun, but Rob’s on board, and Liz is indifferent. We tackle some questions about technical aspects of Xbox One, setting speaker “trim” levels, and using a bias light with colored walls. We also talk subs: infinite baffle subs, updates on purchased subs, and subs that are causing trouble…in the bedroom. Listener David linked us to the most noise-free room ever. And Tom (no, not Tom Andry) is our Listener of the Week! Finally, we bring back the Deep Dive segment to talk all about the multitude of dynamic EQ and volume levelling formats, and just what the heck Reference Volume is all about! Rob recommends some places to get perfectly neutral Munsell Gray Paint or at least something very close. And Liz recommends having a drink to celebrate the anniversary of the end of prohibition! Sorry, no Google Hangout On Air video this week. But who wants to see us without Tom’s pretty face, anyway? 😉 Thanks for listening. Now, don't forget to:
