Speaking of TV audio, everyone's view of it may only be an accessory to the quality of tv pictures, and even many people's requirements may still stay on "loud" and "listening", so is there a way for everyone to intuitively hear the quality of a TV sound? Or is there a professional sound test method so that the "wooden ear" of Xiaobian can also distinguish the differences in the sound effects of multiple electronic products?
Eh, there is really, just on January 8, 2022, Xiaobian participated in a 98'' super-screen TV sound quality evaluation activity, according to the process and standards of the China Electronics Technology Standardization Institute, Xiaobian felt the charm of high-end audio, and also came into contact with this brand that has focused on audio for decades - Anqiao Audio.
ONKYO (Onkyo), an audio brand founded in 1946, focuses on high-quality audio-visual products. In the hearts of a group of audiophiles, Anqiao audio should be a very unique brand, unlike other brands aimed at pursuing stronger thrust, more audiophilic sound quality, Anqiao from the beginning of its purpose, is to try to use the purest way to truly interpret the sound.
In order to ensure the professional accuracy of the test, the venue of this event was selected at the China Electronic Technology Standardization Institute, and a total of 14 audio professionals were invited to participate in the test, including not only digital technology media practitioners such as Xiaobian, but also several professional music creators: including Bao Huercha, director of the Chinese Musicians Association, Liu Limin, a well-known original singer, Zhang Yong, the founder of the Italian Band, and many other big coffee. In addition, a number of experts from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the China Music and Audio Industry Alliance also attended the scene. The 14 participating testers divided into groups of two, blindly evaluated the two TV speakers being evaluated, and gave themselves the most authentic experience through questionnaires.
Before the test began, all participants were brought into the professional audio test room, and the entire room was covered with a highly soundproof memory foam, bringing the ultimate quiet environment and reducing the noise floor during the test. At the same time, the two 98-inch TVs participating in the test were placed in the center of the room, in order to ensure the objective reality of the test, the staff blocked the TV border, Logo and other details.
Before the test began, the staff of the China Electronics Technology Standardization Institute explained the standards and procedures of this evaluation: in the morning and afternoon, each tester needs to continuously audio and video 7 pieces of audio, and scores different emphases of each audio according to the questionnaire, such as when testing the audio of "Ferry", it is necessary to score the fullness and strength of the audio of the evaluation product. All items are on a 5-point scale, with 5 points being the best and 1 being the worst.
The entire test process, the scoring mechanism, and the distance between the auditor and the TV during the test have strict specifications and requirements, and if it is difficult to give a score after listening to it, it can also be auditioned again, all in order to ensure the rigor of the test results.
I have to say that during the whole testing process, the shock brought to Xiaobian is still very large. In the past, we may just use TV to watch online video or cable TV programs, and the richness of the picture often makes us ignore the importance of sound, but this blind review is mainly audio, so that everyone can close their eyes and savor the charm of sound with their ears.
At the same time, several pieces of audio selected for the test are also quite representative, such as the "Ferry" just introduced, which can not only show the fullness of the high frequencies in the vocals, but also reflect the thrust of the sound through strong accompaniment drums; of course, there is also the audio of poetry recitation to test the clarity of the sound, use classical symphony to experience brightness and so on. This evaluation not only allows Xiaobian to understand the dimensions of audio testing, but also truly appreciates the difference between high-end audio and ordinary audio.
Compared with the simple high decibel of ordinary TVs, the TV equipped with Anqiao audio gives Xiaobian the biggest experience in terms of listening to it - nature. For example, when listening to the audio of "Hotel California", Anqiao Audio can show the crispness and ethereality of the guitar finger play, and at the same time ensure low distortion, it will shock the energy into your ears at the moment of the appearance of the human voice, so that users can enjoy the "good sound" with pure charm, clean and clear, vivid and vivid.
The 98-inch ultra-large screen TV sound quality effect authoritative evaluation has brought a very profound experience to Xiaobian, after the test, Xiaobian learned from the staff of The China Electronic Technology Standardization Institute that the one involved in the test is TCL 98Q6E giant screen TV. The picture quality not only has a 120Hz high brush screen, the picture does not stutter without smearing, but also increases the color gamut value to 130%, which can present more layers of color. And the sound quality is also equipped with a 2.1-channel Anqiao Hi-Fi audio, with a 5-unit 50W large cavity speaker, the sound and picture quality is quite outstanding.
