Sonic Burn – Headphone and Speaker Burn In Tool iPhone App

January 28th, 2011

Our latest iPhone app just got approved. Your brand new high quality headphones require a burn-in period prior to achieving their high fidelity audio potential.  Think of it like a brand new pair of shoes that need to be worn for a while before they start getting comfortable. This app will break in your headphones and make them sound better.

The idea behind the headphone burn-in process is to play specific sounds that will loosen the diaphragm of the speaker.  Thus making it more flexible and allowing it to vibrate more freely.  In turn, allowing it to produce the best possible sound for the particular design.  That does not mean that your $15 headphones will sound like a $1,000 set. It simply means that your headphones will sound better than they would if you didn’t break them in.

Headphone and speaker burn-in is not a secret, audio professionals have been doing it for years.  And now we have made it simple enough for everyone to do.  This app has everything you need to burn-in your headphones.  Simply plug in your headphones, start the app and choose one of the special sounds to play.

Playing pink noise is arguably the most effective methods of burn-in because its energy is distributed equally throughout audio spectrum. We recommend doing most of your burn-in with pink noise.  If you feel that your headphones lack in a particular are of the spectrum. You can hone in on the details with low, mid and high sweeps.

Description of the available sounds:

White Noise – Random audio noise.
Pink Noise – Random noise uniformly spread through out the audio spectrum.
Quick Sweep – Fast sine wave sweep from 10 – 22,050 Hz
Quick Pulsing Sweep – Sweeps low, mid and high frequencies 3x each.
Frequency Sweep – Slow sine wave sweep 10 – 22,050 Hz
Low Frequency Sweep – 10 – 200 Hz sine wave sweep.
Mid Frequency Sweep – 200 – 5,000 Hz sine wave sweep.
High Frequency Sweep 5000 – 10,000 Hz sine wave sweep.
Ultra High Frequency Sweep 10,000 22,050 Hz sine wave sweep.

Tingalin iPhone App Promo

If you enjoy string instruments such as the guitar, banjo, setar, sitar, oud, and other lutes then you will love this app!

Tingalin is a unique music application based on the Albanian lute Çifteli (meaning “pair of strings”). This unique application is a lot of fun! Five melodies are preloaded to make you look like a pro right away! With version 1.4 you gain the ability to share your melodies via email with your friends.

Tingalin is played by tapping the 14 notes on the instruments handle. Each note is recorded in the tab and the entire melody is played by shaking the device, as if strumming the real instrument. Each strum up and down (meaning shake of the phone) a note is played.

Tempo is controlled by the frequency of your strumming! Tuning can be adjusted to your prefered pitch using the slider control +/- 1 octave.

Playing tips:

  • The strumming algorithm is designed to mimic as closely as possible the way the real instrument is played. It is all in the wrist, you do not need to move your entire arm like you would perhaps on a guitar.
  • You can vary the technique if you strum in one direction, bring your hand back up gently and strum in the same direction again etc.
  • F4 is the open string note and in my melodies I use it as a bridge because it is tuned close to the drone string and it transitions well between chords.
  • Notes do not resonate long so you may have to elongate a note by playing it multiple times or choose a lower pitch that would resonate longer.
  • Higher pitch faster strumming.

The Çifteli is a wooden instrument with a long thin handle and a pear-shaped sound bowl. This two string lute looks similar to Setar, Saz and Tambura; however, its sound is unique. The first string is used to play the notes while the seconds strings acts as a backup harmonic tune.
