Orphean break-in (BD-Design)

Hi Kurt,

it okay to run a sinewave signal at 20 Hz at high level and each in
inverse phase of each other indefinitely, for example? Then I won't hear
it, and it can get appreciable signal? Or is the crossover and drivers
not going to get worked out enough by doing that? I don't know how much
time it takes to break these in by just listening to them, and what to
expect. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Giving them 20Hz can be done but that will not do much, they need a full signal up to above 20kHz. Best way to break them in is to play music until they're settled... then you can hear them play and change from better to worse and from there to better again until they're stable.

You could use pink noise in between listening sessions though...

The first days they are not too clean sounding but after that you can start to enjoy them and tune your bass filter.

The Orpheans are not paper cones needing 500 hours or more, 24 hours of music (normal listening level) and they are pretty okay already.

Ciao,

Bert
