Ngabe Izakhamuzi Zase-Old-Old Old Speakers Zisenomsindo Omkhulu?
Yini eyashintsha kakhulu izinhlelo zokulalelwayo ngokulandelana eminyakeni engama-50 edlule? Ngokuqinisekile, sishintshe kusukela emithonjeni ye-analog njenge-tape kanye namarekhodi emithonjeni ye-digital njengamakhompyutha nama-smartphone, kodwa ushintsho olusobala kakhulu kuzikhulumi. Izikhulumi ezindala zakhiwe ukuze zithole okuningi kunama-amplifiers aphansi kakhulu anikwe amandla ezinsuku zokuqala zomsindo. Lokhu ngokuvamile kwakusho ukuthi basebenzisa izimpondo ukuze bathole ukusebenza kahle kwabashayeli.
Ngizwile izikhulumi eziningi zephondo kuma-hi-fi ekhombisa futhi ngihlolwe amamodeli ambalwa ngo-Klipsch, JBL no-Avantgarde Acoustic ngokwami, kepha angizange ngibe nethuba lokunikeza isikhathi eside ukulalela noma yiziphi izimpondo zempuphu yevintage ezithole yonke into yaqala.
Ngesikhathi ngivakashela umthengisi we-vintage audio Innovative Audio eVancouver, eBrithani Columbia, ngabona izimpumputhe ezinkulu ze-Altec Lansing ezihlezi egumbini elingemuva, ngalinye lime cishe ngamamitha amabili ubude nezinyawo ezintathu ububanzi, ngophondo olunezinhlobonhlobo olubheke phezulu. Ngabuza u-Innovative umsunguli uGordon Sauck ukuthi ngingabanikeza ukulalela. Ngenhlanhla, wayevele ekulungele ukuzitholela i-Garage Sale yonyaka, ngakho ngizizwa ziqhutshwa yi-Dared tube amp u-20-watt-per-amp.
Ngokuvamile, ngingacabanga ukuthi izikhulumi ze-vintage ziyisinqumo esiyinkimbinkimbi ngoba isikhulumi sesayensi sashintshe kakhulu kusukela ngasekupheleni kwawo-1970. Kodwa ama-Altec azwakala, ezindlebeni zami, okwesabekayo okwamanje. Kukho okwakubonakala kungenawo wonke amandla e-octave ephezulu ye-treble, kodwa konke okungezansi okwakubonakala kubonakala kungavamile futhi kungokwemvelo. Kungenzeka ukuthi yingxenye ngoba impendulo ephansi yevolumu ivumela ukuthi i-crossover ibe yi-woofer izoshintshwa ibe yi-500 Hz noma kunjalo, lapho noma yikuphi okwakhiwa kwezinto ezibonakalayo kungabonakali kangako kunalesi sikhwama se-woofer / tweeter crossover cishe ku-2.5 kuya ku-3 kHz.
Kamuva, sasixoxisana ngezikhulumi nokuthi bangaki ama-audiophiles asebenzisa lezi zakhiwo ezindala emakhaya abo. Hlola ingxoxo yethu ekhasini elilandelayo ....

Iminyaka engu-30 kuya kweyengu-50 edlule ... kanti futhi i-Singing Sweet
Brent Butterworth: Utholephi lokhu?
I-Gordon Sauck: Kusuka kwiDolphin Theatre, eyayivaliwe eBurnaby, BC. Babesemuva ngemuva kwezikrini ezinkulu. Isikrini ngasinye ngasinye sasinezikhulumi ezintathu zezikhulumi.
BB: Yiluhlobo luni lwesimo ababengenalo?
I-GS: Izikhulumi esazithathile zineminyaka engama-30 kuya kwangu-50 ubudala, kodwa ingxenye enkulu, ngaphandle kwesondlo jikelele akukho okuningi okudingekayo. Sibeka izingxenyana ezintsha ezimpondweni kodwa yilokho. Zenzelwe ukugijima kakhulu kakhulu kuze kube phakade.
BB: Ingabe ngempela abantu basebenzisa la ma-behemoth emizini yabo?
GS: Ohhhhhh, yeah. Eqinisweni, nginamaqoqo amabili ohlelweni lwami. Into enkulu uma usebenzisa ama-tube amplifiers amancane , lezi zikhulumi ziphelele ngokuphelele. Unesici esincane kakhulu sokwamukelwa komlingani, kodwa ngokwemvelo asikwazi ukufaniswa.
BB: Yini enhle ngabo?
I-GS: Okokuqala, ayisebenzise kahle. Ungasebenzisa amandla okufaka amandla ukuwashayela. Futhi banomsindo ongalingani. Izikhulumi ezintathu zingagcwalisa indawo yaseshashalazini engu-750 ngama-watts angu-50 ngamunye. Ngingayichaza umsindo njengokuthi "uyathinta." Ingenye yezikhulumi ezimbalwa lapho uzizwa khona umsindo njengoba uzwa.
BB: Ungaziqhathanisa kanjani lezi ezinye izikhulumi zanamuhla ezitolo sakho?
I-GS: Lezi zinesignesha ezishaya indiza ngokuphelele kunezinye izikhulumi. Kukhona njalo umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwanoma yini nophondo. Kunento ethile mayelana nophondo lwe-Altec noma lwe-JBL olunikeza ubukhona obuvamile. Kungaba kuhle kakhulu uma usebenzisa i-tube encane ye-wattage engxenyeni yephondo, bese usebenzisa amamitha angu-50-watt noma aqinile kakhulu esimeni se-bass.
BB: Lokho kubiza namuhla, ngokuvamile?
I-GS: Itholakala ngoba u-Altec unikeze amabhakede amaningi ahlukene, afana ne-A5 ne-A7. Umehluko omkhulu phakathi kokubili ukubekwa kwempondo. Ku-A5, uphondo lungaphakathi kwekhabhinethi, kuyilapho ku-A7 kungaphezulu. Khona-ke kukhona izimpondo. Isikhulumi se-A5 esisezingeni elijwayelekile siza nophondo lwe-811 kanye no-416 woofer uchungechunge. Uphondo olunezinhlobonhlobo, mhlawumbe ngamaseli ayisishiyagalombili noma ngaphezulu - njengephondo elingu-10 elingu-1005B olubona kulezi zikhulumi - lithinta imali engakholeki.
Flip ekhasini elilandelayo ukuze ubone ama-Altec avuthiwe avuthiwe avuselelwe izimonyo zakwa-2014 ....

Ama-Classics abuyiselwa ... futhi-ke abanye
Ngemva kokubuyela ekhaya ku-LA, uSouck wangithumelela isithombe se-Altecs ezimbili engiyibonile, saqedwa kakhulu. Babheka sengathi bazokwamukeleka kumthengisi weFerrari njengoba bezokwenza embonini yaseshashalazini, ngakho-ke ngabiza u-Sauck ukuthi abuze ukuthi usekuphi.
BB: Pho kungani uvuselela lezi zikhulumi zakudala?
I-GS: Sithatha okuthile okudala kakhulu futhi sikuphindaphinda, sigcina ukubukeka okuyisisekelo okufanayo kodwa okwenza kube kuhle nakakhulu ezweni lanamuhla lokuklama i-avant-garde. Iningi lala liza ukusebenza kahle kodwa libheke futhi lishaya-ubani ukuze lisebenzise ekhaya.
BB: Wenzeni kubo, ncamashi?
I-GS: Sisebenzisa amakhemikhali ase-Altec kanye nabashayeli bokuqala. Okokuqala, siqinisekisa ukuthi abashayeli kanye nama-crossovers basebenza amaphesenti angu-100. Uma abashayeli bengekho amaphesenti angu-100 aphelele, siyaqiniseka ukuthi bayaphi. Ngezinye izikhathi siphelela ukufaka esikhundleni se-diaphragm kumshayeli wokucindezela ohlanganiswe nophondo. Sishintsha noma yiziphi izingxenye ze-crossover ezingezona ukusebenza noma ezikhulile ngakho-ke zingabonakali. Lokho esizama ukukwenza ukugcina yonke into njengento yangempela ngangokunokwenzeka.
Sichitha izimpondo ngezigqoko zomunyu ezichotshoziwe, okususa upende kodwa akulimazi insimbi, bese siwagcoba. Kulezi makhabhinethi, siwaqeda isiphetho sokuqala se-gray orange-peel, okuvame ukugujwa kakhulu futhi kukhishwe. Khona-ke sigcwalisa wonke ama-divots ngakho yonke indawo ishaya kahle. Bese sibavuselela ngezingubo eziningana zokuphelela okuhle kwe-satin. Siphinde sengeze i-plinth ukuze sikhuphuke phansi phansi kancane, kanye nesisekelo se-teak socopu kanye nesikhumba sombala endaweni evulekile ngaphansi kwe-woofer.
BB: Ingabe kukhona okuthakazelisayo kulezi?
I-GS: Lo mbhangqwana esithombeni engikuthumelele uthengise ngaphasi kwehora ngemuva kokuwabeka phansi.
