How to listen to music from your phone with cool sound

Music on your phone - it's convenient. Collections discography favorite tracks - all enabled by a pair of Taps. But there is one problem: the sound quality. The course usually go the dynamics of the smartphone or Bluetooth-budget speakers with a questionable sound. If you understand that this can no longer be, - need full acoustics. But this need not be a cumbersome structure with a bunch of wires. How to get a cool sound, not bothered with installing and configuring - explains the example of the audio system Mu-so Naim from the British firm, full soundbar speakers in a format that is managed by the application.

What devices can be used acoustics

The basic fallacy novice audiophiles: complete acoustics - is the one that connects via some strange cables requires careful tuning and even more careful selection of sources playback. This is so only partially. Of course, to use some functions have to buy a pair of wires, but many systems will cope with the music from your smartphone without dances with a tambourine.

Here are the most important types of connections that must be supported by:

• Optical input for digital audio sources - it is connected to a TV or set-top box.
• Bluetooth - to play music from your smartphone.
• AUX - for easy connection of mobile devices or sources of Bluetooth-module no.

It's minimum. Mu-so in addition to the three supports additional connection types:

• AirPlay - the wireless music playback from the iOS-gadgets.
• UPnP - to play music from a home media server without loss of quality.
• USB - to play music from a flash drive.
• Wi-Fi - to turn a few Mu-so in the multi-system to play music in different rooms at the same time.
• Ethernet RJ-45 - helps to listen to music from the internet directly and, unlike Wi-Fi, not curtail playback up to 48 kHz.

And yet Mu-so can be synchronized with strimingovymi services and play music from 11,300 Internet radio stations that are already in memory. Five favorite stations can be assigned to quickly activate a remote control or control points in the speaker cabinet.

How it works

Convenience is not so important for the fans who are willing to mess around with complex settings and interfaces. But if you want premium sound "out of the box" system with a bunch of confusing buttons and controls - not the best option. Fortunately, some of the acoustics are controlled by the application with clear interface novice - not even need to read the instructions for the initial configuration.

For all its potential audiophile, Mu-so - very easy to master audio. Just like a Bluetooth-device: including columns, I took the phone by pressing Play - music started. control station with lighting and potentiometer full hand also looks friendly. Here you can change the volume, select the playback source or the desired station.

The column can be controlled by remote control and more. On it duplicated the same buttons and knobs, so it can be taken as an optional accessory. Especially considering that the potential of Mu-so you can unleash with an application for iOS and Android.

The application specifies the network settings and multiroom functions: appointed by the order of the device without a smartphone or tablet, select a radio station for quick on and synchronized Mu-so speakers, if you have multiple devices in different rooms. There can be controlled sound - equalizer settings or mode of amplification of high and low frequencies at low volume. Also, the application can designate whether the Mu-so the wall - column adjusted to the architecture and adjust the sound.

What are you getting

Steep sound. Any serious system surpass Bluetooth-computer speaker or speakers by frequency palette dynamics of detail and sound balance. Despite the soundbar format, Mu-so - not compromise the column, but a real premium speakers with High-End-Audio.

To begin with the frequency band. The specifications of different columns, even the budget, are often specified frequency response, for example, 50 Hz - 18 kHz. And this, on the one hand, good performance. But it is unknown how the volume varies at different frequencies. Perhaps, this column is not enough bass or she is present "blind" zone, for example, in the upper middle. Therefore, serious speakers need at least to listen to music properly - as conceived by the author or performer. Here is the schedule of the AFC Mu-so, which we have borrowed from the site Sound & Vision.

On the plot of 50 Hz - 20 kHz, the schedule is quite smooth - this means that the Mu-so produces balanced sound without any significant failures in the entire audible range. Bass and low discriminating top - read and detailed. For frequency palette meet six speakers: a pair of woofers in the center, two tweeter and two mid-range transmitter on the sides. Each of the speakers is connected to its 75-watt amplifier. That is Mu-so - this column, which in its small dimensions, the monoblock form factor and accurate sound can really pump house party for its 450 watts of power. If the apartment is not huge, it is enough for one third of the potential volume.

To this power has not kept bouncing column, Naim added a wooden cabinet Mu-so an aluminum shell and a massive slab of acrylic. They increase the damping body and kill any stray overtones - with them a small soundbar finally creates the impression of a serious speaker system.

Separate pride Naim - a 32-bit processor, the timing operation of the speakers. Such a scheme they've used in the Bentley audio system. This scheme is precisely corrects the behavior of the speakers depending on the surrounding architecture and is responsible for the sound quality in different parts of the room.

Just do not forget about the sound sources: if you listen to MP3 with a bitrate of 96 kbit / s, then no speakers will not save you - on the contrary, high-quality audio system will emphasize the fact that the recording is done badly.

Good audiophile system distinguishes the attention to detail: the nuances of circuit design, materials, and not even the most seemingly major accessories. All connecting wires inside Naim devices handled hundreds of flexion to reduce the noise, and the power supply circuit is designed so that the sound does not affect the power of the pickup.

Why soundbar

sound quality - the reason why the good soundbar is always better than any Bluetooth-column. But serious speakers with excellent sound and lots of outdoor speakers complete compact Mu-so inferior except for the sound panorama. If we talk about playing music, not film with the six-channel audio track, the soundbar - not compromise, and it is working and competitive option that is ideal for the interior. Due to its size, Mu-so - though the home, but not a fixed system. The column can be easily moved to another room, or to bring to the country, to have a party in the backyard.
