Listening Evaluation Terminology

The sound is hard: there is harmonic distortion, and the distortion is between 3% and 5%.

The sound is explosive: there are too many high frequencies or mid-high frequencies, and there are harmonics and intermodulation distortion.

The sound is hoarse: mid- and high-frequency distortion, and transient distortion.

The sound is dry: there is distortion, slightly more mid- and high-frequency, and there is transient distortion.

The sound is dull: there are too few high frequencies or mid-high frequencies, or the directivity is too sharp and deviates from the axis.

The sound is muddy: the transient is not good, the speaker resonance peak is prominent, and there are too many low frequencies or mid-low frequencies.

The sound is rich: wide frequency band, good mid-frequency and low-frequency, and moderate reverberation.

The sound is delicate: the high and mid-high frequencies are moderate, the distortion is small, the transient is good, and there is no transient intermodulation distortion.

Layered: good transient, flat frequency characteristics, and moderate reverberation.

The sound is solid: good mid- and low-frequency, moderate reverberation, and sufficient loudness.

Sound divergence: lack of mid-frequency, poor mid-frequency transient, and too much reverberation.

Narrow sound: narrow frequency characteristics.

Metal lead sound: Some points in the mid-high frequency are prominent and the distortion is serious.

The sound is mellow: the frequency characteristics and distortion indicators are good, the reverberation is moderate, and the transient is good.

Moisture: good mid-high and high frequencies, sufficient reverberation.

The sound is bright: the mid-high frequency and high frequency are sufficient, the frequency response is flat, and the reverberation is moderate.

Sound spikes: too much high and mid-high frequencies.

The sound is hollow (floating): lack of mid-frequency, and the mid-high frequency and high frequency directionality are too sharp.

The sound is dry: lacking reverberation and mid-high frequencies.

Balance or harmony: good frequency characteristics and low distortion.

Booming: The speaker resonance peak is seriously prominent, the distortion is large, and the transient is not good

Transparency: moderate high and mid-high frequencies, low distortion, and good transients.

Good clarity: good mid-high and high frequencies, low distortion, good transients, and moderate reverberation.

Powerful physical feeling: flat frequency response, moderate reverberation, low distortion and good transient.

Sense of presence or reality: The frequency response is good, with good mid- and high-frequency characteristics, low distortion, and good stereo effect.

Full: wide frequency band, good mid- and low-frequency, and moderate reverberation.

Soft: moderate low and mid-low frequencies, low distortion.

It has great power and vigor: sufficient loudness, good reverberation, and good low and mid-low frequencies.
