The meaning of common terms in speaker audio sound evaluation

Third, the meaning of common terms in listening evaluation.

Explosive sound: Too much high or mid-frequency, there are two kinds of distortion.

Broken sound (split): Severe harmonic and intermodulation distortion, there is a "pop" sound, the top has been cut flat, and the distortion is greater than 10%.

Rustling: The passband has a large distortion, with additional high-order harmonics, and is accompanied by transient distortion.

Muddy sound: The transient is not good, the speaker resonance peak is prominent, and the low frequency or low frequency is too much.

Generous sound: Wide frequency band, good mid-low frequency and low frequency, moderate reverberation.

Sense of hierarchy: Good transient, flat frequency characteristics, moderate reverberation.

Solid sound: Good mid-low frequency, moderate reverberation, and enough loudness.

Divergence: Lack of mids, poor mid-range transients, and too much reverberation.

Narrow sound: Narrow frequency characteristics, lack of high and low frequencies, no wide frequency band, short reverberation, and excessively prominent mid-frequency.
Metal sound (lead sound): Individual points in the mid-high frequency are prominent and the distortion is serious.

Mellow Sound: Good frequency characteristics, minimal distortion, moderate reverberation, and good transient.

Moisture: Good mid-high frequency and high frequency, enough reverberation.

Bright Sound: The mid-high frequency and high frequency are sufficient, relatively flat, and the reverberation is moderate.
Spikes: Excessive high and mid-high frequencies.

Treble virtual (floating): Lack of mid-frequency, mid-high frequency and high frequency pointing too sharp.

Dim sound: Lack of high and mid-high frequencies.
Dry sound: Lacks reverb, lacks mid-high frequencies.
Balanced or concordant: Good frequency characteristics and low distortion.

Roaring: The loudspeaker resonance peak is seriously prominent, and the transient is not good.

Good clarity: Good mid-high frequency and high frequency, low distortion, good transient, moderate reverberation.

Sense of stereo (mono mode): The frequency response is flat, the reverberation is moderate, and the transient is good.
Sense of presence or presence: Good frequency response and transient, especially good mid-high frequency.

Fullness: Wide frequency range, good mid-low frequency, moderate reverberation.

Soft (loose): Moderate amount of low frequency and mid-low frequency, the sound is relaxed, the loudness is suitable, the reverberation sound is slightly larger, and the distortion is small.

Vigorous (potential) and good strength: Sufficient loudness, good reverberation, good low frequency and low frequency.

Dull sound: Too little high or mid-high frequency, or too sharp directivity and off-axis.

Transparency: The distortion is small, the transient response is good, the frequency response is wide and uniform, the middle and high frequencies and high frequencies are produced, and the reverberation sound is suitable.

Thin sound: The sound energy density is low, the loudness is not enough, the sound is slender and weak, lacks low frequency, mid-high frequency and high frequency, and the reverberation sound is insufficient.

Hard sound: The bass is lacking, the middle and high frequencies are too much, the harmonic decay in the high frequency is too short and too fast, the low-frequency reverberation sound is short, and there is obvious intermodulation distortion, and the transient response is not good.
