Thousand Yuan Good Sound--Rambler S1000MA Smart WiFi Speaker Experience Report

Thanks to Aunt Zhang and Zhong Zhengjun for their precious opportunity, the shipment was extremely fast. The confirmation message was received on the same day. Since the speakers contained magnets, they were not allowed to be airlifted, but they still received the express courier's phone the next morning. ,give it a like. In addition to returning to sleep, I was almost always running, so that I could speak louder before the report was completed. I have been playing music for more than 50 hours. Of course, I haven't finished my voice yet.

Unpacking articles:

This guy is huge and heavy, reaching 38.5 pounds, close to the 19.6 kilograms marked on the package, and the courier little embarrassment, moving from the unit to the car, moving from the car home, I also have several times, Although the Swans M200MKIII that was once home was also quite the same, but after all, in the past few years, now Aunt gave me a joy again.

Sun aunt's exclusive lucky label and tape, domineering to the courier's value to laugh.

The boxes with a little bit of forcing are all packed in double-layer paper cases. The diameter of the small round table is 60 cm. The size of the box is evident.

The model on the upper right side is marked with the distinctive Ali Smart. This is also the most obvious difference from the S1000. Now it seems as if many companies are listed on the Master of Matsu.

The back of the box has a very detailed description of the characteristics of the parameters.

Supported connection methods can be thought of, followed by Bluetooth, WIFI, fiber, coaxial, AUX, supports 2.4G remote control, supports DSP electronic frequency, of course, if you can provide built-in decoding and USB interface is better .

Accessories include manuals, RCA cables, fiber optic cables, main and auxiliary box connectors, 2.4G remote controls, and batteries.

To tell the truth, there was still a slight disappointment in the moment of opening the box. All of them were plastic bags. Only the front and back of the box had a 180-degree non-woven packaging. The home M200MKIII and acoustic engine A2+ were all carefully packed with cloth bags.

Appearance:

S1000 was only listed on the market in August 2015. The appearance design and the Swans M200 series released more than ten years ago are exactly the same. At that time, it was a cause for much controversy. The Edifier official did not shy away from it, directly in the advertising words. Classics are classics and worthy of respect. It's just that classics are used not only to remember but also to transcend! The front protective net refers to the stockings and it seems easy to break the hole...

The classic elevation design can better restore the scene, giving a kind of paving sound. The side panels with natural wood color are very thick, presumably this is also the main reason for the heavy box, S1000 is not the solid wood material on the M200MKIII and S2000 series, from this point it will not be my choice of purchase, but the chamfer at the edge The skinning process is excellent, and it does not make people feel cheap.

The four non-slip and shockproof floor mats on the bottom of the box, all rubber material, slightly disappointed, S2000 is a metal material, and the side board and floor mats are also designed to open and position the S2000.

The top of the box is horizontal, which can be used to put a small device, such as the middle hand of the Smurfs, the color is very good with the home TV cabinet, suitable for the minimalist style of decoration at home, although there are more outstanding B&O... Keke

Detail articles:

1 inch titanium dome tweeter, we are more familiar with the Swans TN25 silk film tweeter, it sounds like a more forcing, but does not mean that the sound is good or bad.

The 5.5-inch aluminum bowl woofer and metal diaphragm have been used on the R series. With the DSP electronic crossover technology, the sound quality is quite good.

60MM inverting hole, the design of light seems very domineering.

The interface and knob behind the main cabinet, three knobs in order for the stepless volume adjustment (support simultaneous press down to switch the audio source), treble adjustment, bass adjustment, Swans M200MKIII only the first RCA analog input, which makes me very dissatisfied , Or there will be no later millet sound. On the S1000MA, almost all audio sources are supported. In addition to digital coaxial, optical fiber, there are two other RCA interfaces, AUX and PC input, the former sensitivity is 700MV, suitable for mobile devices such as mobile devices with low thrust; the latter is 750MV, suitable for desktop, notebook and so on.

The two-dimensional code in the upper right corner of the metal plate is a bit unconfident, and it serves as a promotion for Ali Smart and the Rambler.

The sub-tank only has the interface to the main box, and nothing else.

5PIN cable, a total length of 3 meters, translucent wire skin to see inside the metal wire.

The voice remote controller uses the 2.4 technology instead of the infrared because it supports the voice function. With Alibaba Cloud's direct WeChat method, you can search for songs you want to hear. The inconvenience on the remote control will be described later.

The work of the remote controller is more general, the battery cover is raised, and the right-angled design is slightly handy.

There are 6 access methods on the display below the main box. Because they are all white fonts and they are extremely small, they are not easy to see. They are not as good as the red, green and blue of the S1000, and the remote control is a cyclical switch when you are away from one meter. Switching the input source afterwards becomes particularly inconvenient. Compared to S1000 and S2000, it is a step backward.

S1000MA parameters:

Rated power: 2 × 25W (treble); +2 × 35W (middle bass)

Frequency Response Range: 40Hz-20KHz

Sensitivity: PC: 700±50mV; AUX input: 650±50mV; Bluetooth input: 400±50mV; Optical fiber input: 300±50mV; Coaxial input: 300±50mV

Frequency range: 48Hz-20KHz

Bass adjustment: ±6dB (center frequency 80Hz)

Treble adjustment: ±6dB (starting frequency 5KHz)

Distortion: ≤0.3%

Input impedance: 10KΩ

The functional parameters are close to the S1000 without limits. Only two smart and WIFI functions are available. This is also the biggest highlight of the S1000MA.

test environment:

Equipment: ThinkPad X230, Apple MAC mini 2014 models, iPhone6s, Sony Walkman NWZ-A15, Sound Engine D3 USB sound card

The notebook is mainly used to download music, and of course there are various free software that are more familiar with. In the morning, I used the red set-top box to pick up the fiber and saw Superman return.

MAC's built-in sound card quality has always been better than ordinary PC.

The most convenient and most popular player is always the mobile phone.

It was chosen mainly because A15 supports APT-X.

In order not to make the sound card a bottleneck, the D3 borrowed a friend here and the price has been stable at 999 yuan.

Placement position: about 1.2M left and right, after 30CM, about 2M distance to listen to, I know this may not be scientific, but can not be subject to environmental restrictions, unable to disturb the family for a long time.

Listening:

The voice is a metaphysics. I'm just a fan who can't even get started. I can't count as a fancier. Many of the descriptions are not comprehensive and accurate. I also hope that you will forgive me. If anything, please look for Liang Chaowei.

By the way, the sound quality of common equipment is ranked in order, and the speakers are all set by default.

Bluetooth: Sound quality, A15> Mac mini> iPhone6s> X230

There is no doubt that this ranking, because Dafa has APT-X bonus, other devices Bluetooth is lossy transmission, so we choose Sony A15 as a Bluetooth test source. Here to say that the quality of Bluetooth transmission is not satisfactory, iPhone in the distance between the TV cabinet and the sofa began to be like a video-like video card, and millet audio I can control in the bedroom.

AUX/PC:D3> Mac mini> iPhone6s = A15> X230

To be fair, the computer connected to the PC, the mobile phone, and the player were connected to the AUX, and finally they knew why many people seldom used the WINDOWS notebook for direct reason. It is also unexpected that the iPhone6S will be able to tie a thousand-thousand A15.

Fiber/coaxial:

This is because only the TV and the set-top box have a coaxial and fiber interface, can not be compared, just say that the S1000MA's low frequency is good, "Superman Returns," the start of the comet explosion sound gave me no small shock, a sense of volume and density at all Not low.

About WIFI and Ali Smart:

WIFI

S1000MA supports 802.11 b/g mode LAN transmission, which is the highest rate of 54Mbps, which is enough to support WIFI music. Different from Bluetooth, WiFi speaker is through the wireless router, the speaker access to the external network, and then through the phone, tablet and other devices to connect speakers, through the Air Play, DLNA and Q Play and other multimedia protocols to push the music into the speaker Play, has a strong transmission capabilities, can connect multiple devices, a variety of audio sources and other features. On the other hand, WiFi speakers play more liberalized. First of all, the WiFi file transmits the link of the audio file to the WiFi speaker. The WiFi speaker will download it and decode it directly on the speaker. Play, this transmission method has faster transmission speed, higher bandwidth WiFi speaker transmission of high-quality audio files is also more capable, and now many mainstream online music servers support WiFi transmission protocol, resulting in users can listen online Massive music, listening to the effect of Bluetooth speakers can not be compared with it. In addition, multi-task playback can also be implemented, such as playing a mobile game while listening to music.

The measured WIFI push of the S1000MA is relatively smooth. Mobile phones, IPAD, and MAC can all play normally. The audio quality depends on the links you push. If you need high-quality music to enjoy, or buy a music software member. In addition, it is best not to use WIFI to listen to the speakers to watch movies and play games, because there will be a delay of about 3 seconds. Imagine that when you throw a bomb and the explosion is over, you will only hear how unreasonable the sound is. WIFI only Suitable for listening to music.

Ali smart is the key to need to say, MA behind S1000 is the abbreviation of Edifier and Alibaba. It is the biggest difference between S1000MA and S1000. Of course, there is another one that supports the highest coaxial and optical input of 24bit/192kHz. The S1000MA with smart titles uses SoC MT7688, which MediaTek often uses for smart devices. It was released on June 3, 2014. It features a 580MHz processor, 256MB of memory, and an AES128/256 encryption engine to handle complex or data-intensive intelligence. Home equipment, such as today's protagonist S1000MA.



Early WIFI home audio was a luxury product, expensive, high-end brand, S1000MA gave us a choice.

The connection is very simple, you only need to download Ali smart after adding the device classification example to find the sound is the first one is S1000MA, then hold down the heart button on the remote control, according to prompt operation, enter the WIFI password on it, I have connected .

Ali smart cloud music platform provides a wealth of resources, but due to the uneven audio code rate, if you want to pursue quality or use AUX or WIFI, Bluetooth experience is better than the built-in music resources, believe me, look forward to the latter part Improve.

There is also an important function is voice search, so that you can search for massive resources without a mobile phone directly through the remote control, try several times, the reaction speed and accuracy are good, direct search song name and station name can be, of course, quality If so, please refer to the above description.

Heat and power:


Exclaimed the MK3's huge heat sink and heat, and also saw that there were fans who installed a host of heatsinks for the audio... I thought that the S1000MA had a similar design, but it didn't, looking at a room temperature of around 20 degrees. The back of the main box after the completion of a movie is only 25.1°C. This temperature makes me feel even warm. I think this should benefit from the progress of digital audio technology.

The normal power consumption under the volume level, I thought that different access methods will be different, the actual is almost the same, only posted a.

Standby power consumption after remote control shutdown.

Inadequacies and recommendations:

1. It is very inconvenient to switch the input source of the cycle on the remote controller. In 80% of cases, it needs to be pressed twice to respond. In some cases, it will jam. The response will be given after 5 seconds. This point needs improvement. Knowing whether it can be optimized by upgrading the firmware.

2. The font of the indicator light in front of the main cabinet is very small (my vision is very good). Since it is a remote control operation, we have to go up a meter or so to see the specific indicator light, and the remote control cannot be the same as the S1000 and S2000. One key to switch to the specified source is simply the biggest step back.

3, to enhance the stability of Bluetooth, the location of two meters occasionally intermittent. The Windows 10 Bluetooth connection is in the search... search... and then search status.

4, cloud music library song quality can be said to be relatively poor, often pull out a few hard-to-ear songs, to S1000MA's quality, it can be said that noise, of course, this is not a problem for the rambler, need Ali and many manufacturers to improve together .

5, to enhance the quality of the next wire, this point more kindness Swans, the details are also set off a product is a very important factor in competitiveness.

to sum up:

In order not to make the device a short version, use the X230 plus Sonic D3 as a sound source to summarize


Treble: Regardless of how big the 1-inch titanium dome tweeter is, it may be a tuning problem. It is actually weaker than the silk pellicle TN25, which is the pair on the Swans MK3, but the price is not equal and MK2 has not heard of it. The S1000MA's high-frequency burr feels that Gimhae's "not so proud" will have a harsh feeling and even vibrato, but it is not obvious. Treble can only count 75 points.

Alto: Connected to the TV, when the male host narrated, compared with the millet sound, obviously inferior to millet, of course, 6.5 inch millet bass unit on the 5.5 inch is some bully people, accustomed to the large-size unit, come back It will be difficult to adapt. The best comparison scenario is the voice of Transformers Optimus Prime. Of course, there are not many opponents of S1000MA within a thousand dollars or similar size units. 70 points.

Low frequency: When you listen to He Xican's "Dust Drum," you can feel the density and elasticity of the bass is very good, you can use the flexibility to describe, to see a large piece of the game is most suitable, the default bass is too much, can be reduced appropriately For example, to -3, it is much better. This performance of 2.0 in the vicinity of the thousand can't be better. 90 marks.

other:

Due to the S1000MA's volume and vocal dimensions, the sound field is less than 1500 yuan (heard Mighty MK2, MK3, acoustic engine A5+, and acoustic engine A2+); it is relatively good; thanks to the electronic digital crossover technology, a song of high school The low frequencies are very clear even if they are not enthusiasts, and the degree of separation is also remarkable; in terms of balance, low-frequency and high-frequency are better than the intermediate frequency, if you want to score points on the same price point, the treble 75, the midrange 70 points , bass 90 points; In addition, relative to Swans MK3, S1000MA's noise and current sound, really small to ignore, even if not shut down will not bother you quiet.
