"These go to eleven"

This is the Mitsubishi Dialtone D160, the largest subwoofer ever built, with 60 inches in the 1980s.

Weighing 800kg, it can easily shatter windows and produces small earthquakes that can be felt like ground vibrations within a 2-kilometer range.

At the Koriyama factory, the test was conducted at first in the measuring room, but was stopped because the ceiling lamps fell due to vibration.

The outdoor test appeared to have a negative impact on the neighborhood. At a distance of about 100 m from the speaker, the sound was felt, but at a greater distance, it was transmitted as vibration and noise on the earth instead of an audible sound.

Within a 2-kilometer radius of the factory, damage such as vibrations, small earthquakes, as well as noises from walls and windows occurred

This is the Mitsubishi Diatone D160, the largest subwoofer ever built. 60 inches across and weighing 800kg, it can easily shatter windows and produces small earthquakes that can be felt like ground vibrations within a 2-kilometer range.

At the Koriyama factory, the test was conducted at first in the measuring room, but was stopped because the ceiling lamps fell due to vibration.

The outdoor test appeared to have a negative impact on the neighborhood. Within a 2-kilometer radius of the factory, damage from small earthquakes occurred.

Despite its impressive earthshaking performance, the Mitsubishi Diatone D160 faced several challenges. Its enormous size and weight made it impractical for most home environments. Additionally, the cost of manufacturing and purchasing such a massive subwoofer was prohibitive for many consumers.

As a result, only a limited number of D160 units were produced, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item today.

Someone was having trouble getting decent sound in his living room and instead of recommending a room treatment or better speakers this person just casually suggests PUTTING AN ADDITION ONTO THE HOUSE.

Trying to get advice on audio forums is often a challenge because a lot of these dudes just have *so much* disposable income. And they just assume everyone else is wealthy too. You can even tell them you have a budget and they'll be like, "You should save up longer and buy this thing that is three times your budget."

And it's not like there aren't wonderful options that are more affordable. I think I may have about $3000 worth of home theater equipment that I have collected over the last 20 years. They will spend that on a single speaker and suggest you do the same.

The people in these forums would have a fit if they knew I had a single subwoofer. Apparently, the cardinal audio sin is having only ONE subwoofer.

Your room could have NULLS!

NULLLLLLS!!!

Seriously, they will lecture you anytime you mention having a single subwoofer. "Your seat-to-seat response is going to be inconsistent!"

I also saw a guy say that a 15" subwoofer was "tiny" and "pointless."

My 70-pound, 12" subwoofer is currently vibrating items off the shelf in my house ever since I moved it upstairs and don't have concrete floors like in the basement. I'm going to have to buy special subwoofer feet to decouple it from the floor. I can't imagine what a 15" sub would do to my house. It might collapse on top of me.

So you can only get a sub that is at least 18" and you need a minimum of 2... but 4 is much better. Actually, 4 is the minimum. 2 is garbage. 2 in front and 2 in back.

And, of course, you have to get a Rythmik or PSA subwoofer. Don't cheap out on the brand!

You have to build an addition to the house AND buy $8000 worth of subwoofers and then MAYBE your sound will be somewhat listenable.

But only if you calibrate the subs with a MiniDSP and the proper UMIK calibration microphone.

Wait, do you have a regular AVR with built in amplification? That won't do. What you need is an audio processor with individual external amplification.

You'll need a 9.4.6 configuration for the proper surround sound experience. That is 9 ear-level speakers, 4 subwoofers, and 6 atmos ceiling speakers.

So 2 of these.

1 of these.

3 pairs of these.

6 of these... plus professional ceiling installation.

And an individual amplifier for each speaker.

Do you really need a 600 watt amp for the ceiling speakers too?

OF COURSE YOU DO!

DO YOU WANT A LOW NOISE FLOOR AND NO DISTORTION OR DO YOU WANT GARBAGE?

Comfort is important too. So you'll want a Valencia leather power recliner with LED cup holder.

And... by far... the most important home theater component...

The power cable.

This will assure that only the highest quality electrons are delivered to your audio equipment.

Don't think about it too much.

Don't think about all of the janky powerlines that deliver electricity to your house.

Or all of the generic power cables inside your wall.

This cable magically negates all of that and turns the last few feet of electricity into pure, audio-grade power.

Guaranteed to drastically improve your sound quality... somehow.

It can't be nonsense, otherwise someone would have never written such beautiful prose about a power cable in a review...

"I was smitten by the piano’s extra depth in its nether regions. I’m not talking about what some audiophiles like to refer to as testicular bass, but rather, a rich and absorbing presentation."

$14,000 for rich and absorbing testicular bass? WORTH IT!

So that's roughly $65,870 for all of that and between $50,000 and $100,000 for a 500 square foot room addition.

A small price to pay for a room that is not junk for listening to music.

🎉 💻🍎✨ Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh - Limited-edition Apple computer (1997)

The Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (or "TAM") is a limited-edition personal computer released in 1997 to mark Apple's 20th birthday. The TAM was announced almost 20 years to the day after Jobs and Wozniak incorporated the company.

The TAM featured a 250 MHz PowerPC 603ev processor and 12.1" active matrix LCD powered by an ATI 3D Rage II video chipset with 2 MB of VRAM capable of displaying up to 16-bit color at either 800x600 or 640x480 pixels. It had a vertically mounted 4x SCSI CD-ROM and an Apple floppy SuperDrive, a 2 GB ATA hard drive, a TV/FM tuner, an S-Video input card, and a custom-made Bose sound system including two "Jewel" speakers and a subwoofer built into the externally located power supply "base unit".

A thick "umbilical" cable connects the base unit to the head unit, supplying both power, and communications for the subwoofer.

This one was a lot of fun to photo, put together, and check out the video - rare footage!

Any predictions for the Splat3 DLC or something you’d like to see in it?

Generally: more focus on character relationships, perhaps with some meaningful arcs and development. Obviously OTH and Agent 8, hopefully some Agent 4 as well. A more cohesive story as well, with a new, non-formulaic single-player structure. Dream DLC: the "levels" actually have the player character moving through the story at the same time.

But also OH MY GOD THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT MY DREAM. I need you guys to tell me if this is swag or not, because I had a dream about a crazy ass level in this hypothetical DLC (gonna put it under 'keep reading').

So in my dream, I was playing this level that was built on the steep slope of a snowy mountain. The goal was the reach the top, where a small Japanese castle sat, built into the cliffside. In the context of the story, the agents had to "siege the castle." The entire level was built as a climb, as players had to attack enemies from the low ground, find their way up by using their ink and obstacle mechanics, and dodge incoming attacks.

You had multiple types of weapons as well on a weapons-wheel, but instead of just switching them, you'd actually switch between agents. Agent 3 had a roller, Agent 8 had a E-Liter, Agent 4 had a Splattershot Pro, etc. As for specials, instead of the usual, when you used them you'd switch to one of the members of Deep Cut and they'd unleash their powers from their boss fights.

All the while, this castle is blasting hard-step rave music from giant subwoofers attached to its walls and shooting laser lights everywhere. When I finally got to the top, a "queen" called out, "FINE, YOU CAN COME IN, JEEZ. WAY TO RUIN THE PARTY," and the doors opened. Then a cutscene started, showing the agents and Callie and Marie sitting inside the throne room before the queen. She was made of plant materials but had a sorta cat-like design. This was supposed to be an introduction to a new race of people, made of plants. (Also IDK what my brain was on but Agent 4 was making 😳 faces at the queen and when I checked Tumblr (in my dream) I immediately started seeing ship art of them).

She tells the Splatoon that she's been alive since the humans died out and has roots all over the world. She gives information that on the other side of the world, on another continent, lives an off-shoot of the inkling/octoling race, an early branch split from the evolutionary tree. They're meaner, scarier, and much closer to their animal ancestors. Then she looks out the window behind her to see Deep Cut with their animal buddies in the distance, resting and playing, and says, "But I haven't seen their kind in a very, very long time..." Cliffhanger.

IS THIS SWAG OR NOT.

353: Digable Planets // Blowout Comb

Blowout Comb Digable Planet 1994, Capitol

Blowout Comb is the best rap album ever made, and I’ve listened to it hundreds of times, but I’d be lying if I told you I knew the name of every track as it comes on. It’s not that the tracks are same-y, so much as that the record has such an endless, unified groove. No matter how great an individual song is, no matter how much I’d like to hear it again immediately, I never want to disrupt the record’s flow—and besides, there are no skips on Blowout Comb. How do I get at the particular magic at work here? It’s something like this: most everything is so laid back, from the mix tucking the three emcees’ vocals under the frequently analog bass to the way its classic soul and jazz samples are used for texture rather than hooks, that you could loop almost any single track for an hour without it becoming grating. It’s not an album of standout quotables or an iconic persona or killer hooks—it’s one that makes life feel alright, beautiful, and connected to an ancient cool.

Which isn’t to say that it doesn’t knock: the production on “Dog It,” “Jettin’,” “Agent 7,” “Blowing Down” and “9th Wonder” kicks like a rhino’s subwoofer heartbeat, and even the chillest parts feel like floating in a funky aquarium. But the song that has always stood out to me is “Black Ego,” a blissed out seven-minute dream boldly placed at track two. Built on a fluttering sample from jazz guitarist Grant Green’s “Luanna’s Theme” and a Meters’ breakbeat, producers Ish Butler and Dave Darlington layer on live bass, vibraphone, and whispered backing vocals that match the exact hiss of the cymbal hits. The seams between the sampled and live instrumentation disappear, creating a track that feels like it is improvising right alongside the emcees, riding out with a tasty two-minute long jazz guitar solo. Even at seven-minutes, I’d happily play it over—but then the enticing sax loop that opens “Dog It” hits, and Blowout Comb keeps the party rolling on to the next one.

Way back on episode #13 of this series, I covered Black Up, Ish’s 2011 comeback record as Shabazz Palaces. A strange, futuristic album that delves so deeply into glitchy electronic production that it often barely scans as a rap album at all, Black Up is nonetheless a continuation of Blowout Comb’s vision of Black pride and the historical continuum of African American music. If Blowout Comb drew that history into one time-spanning Brooklyn block party, Black Up feels a bit like that party being recalled by a cyborg from an unimaginably advanced Afrofuturist timeline. Between the two, Ish Butler created two of the freshest and most original rap records ever made. He (and his colleagues in both Digable Planets and Shabazz) deserve more mention in any conversation about hip-hop’s all-time greatest visionaries.

either there are multiple dorks doing this or there is one specific car with a crazy subwoofer system that makes the plastic on their presumably cheaply built car rattle nonstop when they idle at the stoplight outside my window . more than once. twice a day. I think I’m starting to catch on to their work hours. maybe. there’s also a straight piped car (shocker) that is unique because this idiot revs repeatedly. REPEATEDLY. and will continue to make noise all the way down the road into the distance. bc there are multiple stoplights on this road, he will rev rev rev then skrrrrttt forward, then stop. rev. backfire. rev. Skrrttttt.

Hi Hannah,

So, um, I'm sorry this has to go to some uncomfortable places, but...I think my boyfriend is trying to turn me into the twin of his favorite porn star? But the problem is....she's a trans woman....with a penis... and I'm a cis woman. I started noticing I was acting more....sexual, I started sniffing his cum stained underwear a lot, and....and my hair began to turn from blond to dark brown, and my...my tits started getting smaller, but most embarassing is the SEXUAL needs, I just CAN'T stop sniffing my feet and pits, it's so....it's so gross. I can feel my clit growing too, it feels like in a few weeks, I'm not gonna be ME anymore, is there anything I can do? Even the way I type has changed, I swear I didn't use to be so hesitant all the time, I'm a graphic designer, for christs sake!

Is there anything you can do?

Of course there is!

It’s never too late for revenge!

Call in sick, and shake that house down. Check the house with SubWoofer for subliminals. But if you’re physically changing it’s probably going to be some kind of pill you’re looking for. Find out what he’s using on you and the…

Order some to use on him!

Hehe!

Pretty smart huh?

Turn about is fair play, and since he’s going mtf he’ll progress much faster and catch up with you fast!

Then you’ll have your own little clone, and since you have more experience being this porn star you can show him the ropes. Show him how much fun it is to smell those pits, and suck on toes. With you in the driving seat you’ll totally become the dominant twin!

Clitty getting pretty hard thinking about it huh?

And think about it sniffing your own pits and feet is weird. But it’s not weird to sniff your hubby-clone! Not weird at all, it’s your love with that same great scent you know and love!

Soon you’ll be able to drop that confusing computer job, and start camming! You already have a built in market since you’re a clone of an established porn star, plus you’ll be able to do it together!!!

So sweet.

Boo-yah! Relationship saved!

Abelia, jasmine, and nutmeg for the random asks?

abelia ⇢ do you have a particular piece of jewelry you always wear or can’t part with?

Yep. I have a mushroom necklace that only comes off to shower and usually to exercise(sometimes I forget), a heart shaped ring, and a macramé bracelet from a family trip at least a decade ago that's fused itself into a continuous loop of string xD

jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?

Martin the Warrior, one of the Redwall books. It's really good, as most of them are, but the ending is devastatingly sad and it made me cry myself to sleep when I was twelve THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW. So thanks to the trauma, I don't think I'll ever read it again, even though it was good and I liked 97% of it

nutmeg ⇢ how’s your room/home decorated? do you have a specific theme or style going on?

My room is lots of nerdy stuff; shelves with the Stars Wars stuff(novels, model lightsaber, the lego X-Wing and all my Black Series/Funkos of various characters mostly versions of Wedge /cough), the BatB niche, lots of art I've either printed out/gotten as physical originals of my characters(I have three of Trinne, one with Jowan, from eme alone <333), computer CPU and subwoofer for my speakers are covers in stickers. Lots and LOTS of books. So many books they're laying on top of the standing ones on the shelves. Wall section for LotR, the movies posters for that on the ceiling. OH and there's a bunch of the pottery I've painted for myself interspersed. I have run out of room for that; it's starting to get stacked or wrapped neatly to go in the closet. xD

(If the light was better in there I'd take pictures, but I'm in the basement of a house built in the 60's so the lighting sucks)

The topic of 7.1 virtual surround sound has sparked lively discussions among gaming gear enthusiasts. The main question revolves around whether the 7.1 emulation feature is truly essential for a gaming headset. In reality, answering this question is not difficult, but many individuals haven't had the opportunity to experience it extensively, leading to a lack of clear understanding.

Understanding Headsets with 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound

Before delving into what 7.1 emulation entails, it's important to comprehend the concept of a 7.1 audio system.

7.1 surround sound refers to an audio setup comprising one center speaker, six surround speakers placed around the listener, and one subwoofer for enhanced bass, totaling eight speakers and eight discrete channels. This system is designed to provide a more immersive audio experience, with sound coming from various directions, offering a sense of realism and depth.

So, what exactly is 7.1 emulation in gaming headsets?

In essence, most gaming headsets feature only two drivers in each ear cup (except for a few exceptional models). This means the headset has only two speakers and two independent audio channels, making it incapable of reproducing sound from multiple directions like a true 7.1 speaker system. To create the illusion of sound coming from different directions, software intervention is necessary.

These software solutions mix the left and right audio channels to generate effects that deceive our brains into perceiving sound from multiple directions. Virtual surround sound software can create effects such as sound coming from the front, left-right, front-left-front-right, rear-left-rear-right, and more, surpassing the limitations of conventional stereo headphones.

Headsets with 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound Capabilities?

Certain headphone models are officially supported by manufacturers with built-in 7.1 emulations through their proprietary software. While the audio quality heavily relies on the headset itself, the quality of the 7.1 emulation system is dependent on the accompanying software's capabilities.

The Benefits of 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound Emulation for Gamers

For gamers, the 7.1 virtual surround sound emulation feature on headphones offers two main benefits:

Enhanced Audio Directional Perception: By simulating a virtual soundstage, this feature allows gamers to perceive the virtual direction of in-game audio sources more accurately. This enables a better understanding of the battlefield, leading to improved gameplay performance

this is fairly well-known lore if you're familiar with my blog: i used to be in a band, we made exactly one album. rest of the story is below the cut, i promise it's semi-interesting

Real Nowhere is a wretched collection of audio files (affectionately) by The Kittens From Mars, my former band. we recorded it in like 4 hours in our guitarist's basement, using the jankiest low-fidelity equipment i've ever had to deal with, including but not limited to:

a custom-built distortion pedal that broke a few months after the album was published, technically making my guitar tone lost media

a projector speaker from the 1950's that we used for vocals

a landline telephone that our guitarist turned into a microphone by soldering a mono 1/4-inch jack

a 10-inch subwoofer speaker that our guitarist managed to turn into a kick-drum microphone, through some strange form of electronic alchemy that i still don't understand

a karaoke mic that we used as an overhead

an amp with built-in spring reverb that we shook back and forth to make this really jangly metallic """thunder""" sound

a mixing board we affectionately dubbed "the clipmaster" because of how much it distorts any audio signal that we put into it, regardless of how low we mixed it

a second mixing board that didn't clip nearly as badly but had pre-loaded sound effects for some reason???

an unhealthy amount of adapters and dongles

a crt television that we used as a studio monitor

inexplicably, it features some of the best guitar work i've ever recorded, to the point where i probably couldn't re-learn the last song note-for-note if i tried, despite the fact that i'm miles better at guitar now than i was then. i think at one point i used a screwdriver as a slide

some of the material that ended up on the album wasn't actually recorded in the basement, she used a recording from her fucking iphone voice memos of a previous rehearsal in our bassist's garage, and she managed to make it so that the take sounded like it was from the basement session. she spent pretty much all of her syllabus week for university mixing Real Nowhere in garageband. never once have i met someone so committed to the bit as she

the day after the album was recorded, we disbanded because our afforementioned guitarist was in the process of moving up north for university. we briefly re-banded over winter break, where we almost put on a performance until our drummer caught covid, forcing us to cancel. we ended up disbanding for good in february 2024. i posted a snapchat screenshot detailing our permanent hiatus to my discord server, where it garnered exactly one sad emoji reaction

thus concludes an unwarranted post-mortem of Real Nowhere by The Kittens From Mars

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore
