"Poor Perfection"? ! ——Sonos PLAY: 5 rough sounds of smart audio

Friendly Tips: 1. Please turn down the voice. 2, please pay attention to the water in the cup. Video equipment: LG G2, volume: 50% on computer, 100% on Sonos software volume I What is a craftsman?

1. Personal opinion: The so-called craftsmen are also perfect people. Love its industry, cherish its work, can only be perfect and perfect. In ancient China, the group of craftsmen came out in large numbers, as well as public transfer classes, such as Zhan Tianyou; after the 1950s and even in the modern era, they were greeted with great joy, quick success, and quick success. The craftsmen gradually disappeared from the market, but they did not have successors. In 2016, Li Keqiang first mentioned the "craftsmanship spirit" in the government work report, which is a reference to the "majority of craftsmen!"

2. Stones from other hills:

The “extreme spirit of pursuing perfection” expressed by Mr. Wang is in harmony with the deaf person’s knowledge.

Sonos PLAY: 5 (hereinafter referred to as PLAY: 5) declares “ingenious work”, so this article will analyze the appearance, workmanship, sound quality and operation of PLAY:5 from the perspective of perfection and perfection. Don't worry, thank you!

II invisible elephant articles

"Zhou Kao Gong Ji Ji": The craftsman camp country, Fang Jiuli, next door. In the middle of the country, nine nine latitudes were applied to nine tracks. Zu Zuo Right Club, facing the market. The city is facing him.

Dutch architect Giorgio Cohenni: Architecture is more than just a single entity. It is, like many sequences that make up nature, one of the largest orders.

John Ruskin: No person who is not a great sculptor orpainter, can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder. (The architect must be a great sculptor and painter. If he is not a sculptor and painter, he can only be a builder.)

The people think that: good products must be organically integrated with the surrounding environment, but without losing personality (or stand out).

Official pattern.

1, IKEA simple style

First stop: Shenzhen IKEA (Europe City Shop). This is IKEA's first layer of advertising signs, which is extremely simple.

Small living room shot (the first sheet of wood + solid wood; the second is all solid wood). In IKEA, the most important thing is people. Because it was the weekend, the crowds were clamoring and the voices were in full swing.

Bedroom real shot.

Children's room real shot.

The kitchen (the first picture is a style, the second picture, the third picture is the second style) is a real shot.

Real shot at the desk.

Bookshelf real shot. Thank you for your friendship.

Real shot on the sofa.

Iron frame real shot.

Handy effect.

PLAY: 5 in front of various homes of IKEA (IKEA), it seems like a duck, easily integrated into a variety of styles of the environment.

2, extravagant thick American style

Come to the second stop: Shenzhen European City Xiangjiang Home. The monks found Mei Ting Furniture (the sub-brand is Mei Ting Zhi Mu. Wu Jinmu) and negotiated photos. The store is very generous and agrees to take photos of people.

Small living room shot.

Domineering living room real shot.

Restaurant real shot.

Real shot from the bar.

PLAY:5 is a good example of what it means to be integrated in front of an American-style home made of thick black wood. Of course, it also interprets the focus through its own personality.

3, dwelling simple style

Simple TV cabinet, composed of two solid wood bookshelves + three particleboards, purchased in Shenzhen IKEA. Compared to the avant-garde of the Swans T120 (which has thrown away the outer mesh cover that swells due to moisture), the PLAY:5 appears more converging.

Simple computer desk, bought in East tea (less than 100 yuan). Personal feeling is very harmonious.

III 庖丁解牛篇

Note: The case was swept away and it was known to be a beautiful woman. The white muscle resembles warm jade, but no matter what the face is.

The box feels thick, with a gradient and black combination, steady and beautiful. Hand-to-hand design allows people to buy and go.

The clever open-box design moves to the left to open the locking device, and vice versa locks the box and can be used repeatedly.

PLAY: 5 uses a three-layer plastic film protection, a leaf known autumn, can be a little aware of the importance of manufacturers of this product.

Accessories: network cable, power cord, manual, warranty card, and quick start guide.

Measurement data: length 364mm/width 154mm/height 203mm. In order to be more intuitive, PLAY: 5 under the pressure of the hp 6510b laptop (14 inches), you can feel the next PLAY:5.

1, Wen Runru jade

Black and white color (replaced the gray of a generation of PLAY:5), simple but classic. The large black area (graphite dust cover) on the front side eliminates the slight flirtation that may exist in the white body. The arc and the inner cutting (receiving) design, as if by the rhythm of the flow.

White is very beautiful and has a similar porcelain feel.

Side waist inner cut design. It can be seen that there are three foot pads on the side (also on the other side), because the PLAY:5 can be vertically placed in addition to the normal horizontal placement, and can be adapted to different spaces by different placement methods.

Different placements are compared. Official advice: If it is a single dog, it is recommended to lie down horizontally; if you have formed a couple, you can have horizontal and vertical postures!

The back design is simple. The product logo above the center indicates the body of the machine, followed by its power hole and other interface holes (network, audio, and paired connection buttons), and forms an orderly echo with the logo.

PLAY: 5 logo, font slightly highlight the panel, white, breaking the black one of the quiet, calm, both lively, and echoed with the white panel. PLAY:5's other product labels, processing is very low-key, deliberately used a relatively dark gray system, to avoid the overwhelming.

Power cord plug details. Thoughtful, the plug has a concave design at the end of the plug. It can be applied better when the plug is pulled out. Unfortunately, no tie line was attached, but it was a pity.

In a shopping mall site, we saw that “The manufacturer specifically told us that this dust-proof net cannot be broken open, so the user would not try to cause irreversible damage to the equipment”, and confirmed the dismantling to the official support customer service. Matters. Therefore, I am very sorry that based on my personal selfish considerations, I cannot show you the dismantling of the real map.

2, half to ninety

Although the surface of the PLAY:5 looks impeccable, it still has an indispensable/unbearable flaw.

Slightly sorry power cord design. Power cord plug reinforcement part highlights PLAY: 5 back about 2cm, but because of the thicker wire, it requires less than 4cm back space to bend down. If you design a bent plug, you can make full use of the limited space.

Regretful gap handling. There are no gaps in the rounded corners, but gaps of different widths can be seen elsewhere.

Regrets the details of processing. The network port is skewed; there are also slight gaps in the size of the network port, audio port, and paired connection buttons. Or it is difficult to avoid strict connection because of the material relationship, but it is difficult to widen the skewed Internet port.

IV Great Music

According to the official introduction, PLAY: 5 built-in 6 speakers equipped with advanced digital power amplifier, three high-frequency speakers to provide clear, accurate high-frequency output, three medium and low-frequency speakers to play the faithful reproduction of the audio and sound of the instrument, while Provide rich, rich bass. The picture above shows the speaker's effect picture that the network looks for, can see the position and size of the loudspeaker straightly.

Actual shooting results. Constrained by the dense panel (dust cover) effect, it is difficult to capture the inner picture, but vaguely visible overview of the six speakers.

Based on the heavy machine, specifically PLAY: 5 weighing. Including the weight of the box is 8.8KG, PLAY:5 own net weight 6.36KG (actual measurement shows 6.6KG, I should change the scale), reflecting from the side PLAY: 5 stacking material is very solid. Although the sound weight is not necessarily equal to the quality of the picture, Mr. Xia Kungang clearly pointed out in the “Multimedia Speaker Selection Tips”: Do not choose a sound that is too light.

Deaf hearing test diagram. Unrecognized means that only the beginning and the end of the “click” can be heard and the sound in the whole process cannot be heard. Test URL here.

1, low frequency

Test track table.

"A City Of Sadness" is produced by pure electronic means and exaggerated at low frequencies. It is mainly used to test low-frequency transient response and dive.

Real sense of hearing: From the middle of the worry, it cannot be cut off.

PLAY: 5's low-frequency, heavy, rich (dive), but it is crisp, neat, not dragging water (flexibility). Listening intently, the breath brought by the low-level electronic sounds is like the cold wind in winter, which makes people feel a touch of coolness and perfectly fits the sadness of the sad city.

"Anasazi Stardance", a hammer, startled, repeated knocks, accompanied by a simple and simple music melody and rhythm, more reflects the effectiveness of the drum!

The actual sense of hearing: deep and unpredictable, risk is not broken.

PLAY: 5's low-frequency, thick, calm (dive), clear, but fast, sharp (elastic), there is no low-grade sound that kind of sensation of head, almost perfect restore the South American drums, flute to create a terrible low-frequency world . If we look at it harshly, perhaps it can be said that in front of such a dense drum, PLAY:5 is a bit difficult, that is, the connection between the two drums has a feeling of unpredictability.

"all is full of love", the roll of bass, became a nightmare for many sounds.

The actual sense of hearing: The mountains are high and the scenery is good.

PLAY: 5's low-frequency, thick, crisp, flexible, drum-level details are without fail. Bjork's whispered performance, blurred voice and ethereal ethereality, dragging and singing are extremely distant.

"Dust Drum", a purely percussion music, has a deep dive at low frequencies, and it has also become a place for acoustics.

The actual sense of hearing: all the way, mixed and not chaotic.

PLAY: 5 low frequencies, drums clear, clean, powerful, rapid rebound, a few tremolo not dragging, soft but rigid, sounds very comfortable, closed eyes meditation, it seems that you can see the drumhead was knocked After the vibration. The harmony of various musical instruments is very clear, but they are organic but not self-contained. The drums at the beginning or the end of the percussion sounds are crisp and neat.

"Lonely Clouds", low-frequency density, deep dive.

The actual sense of hearing: a modest gentleman, warm jade.

PLAY: 5's low frequency, gentle softness, breeze Xu, like a cloud of water, leisurely, there is a kind of "freedom of the world, not things like happiness," free and easy.

"Sister Drum", low frequency enough to suffocate people in anesthesia.

The actual sense of hearing: sitting watching the clouds, misty high.

PLAY:5's low-volume is heavy, thick and powerful. The vibrato of the starting drum is very long, long and strong, “boxing to the flesh”; the tremolo of the middle drum is slightly shorter but faster, and the elasticity and rigidity are just right. The voice is naturally ethereal and ethereal.

2, intermediate frequency

A list of test tracks (according to Liu Hansheng's theory of "sound and sound"), regardless of the soprano or tenor, the sound of singing can only reach the mid-range limit.

The actual sense of hearing: This song should only be in heaven.

Vista's voice is transparent and clear. It is extremely contagious, and in particular, the last treble time is simply a feast for the ears. It is better to use "ears are raped" than to "wake up your ears."

Even so, the PLAY:5 mid-range performance is still not enough to call it perfect: Vista's dolphin sound sounds cool, but there is a sense of loss, it seems that something is missing. Texture? It seems not. Do you feel it? Nor does it seem to be. Perhaps the sound field is not enough to achieve the kind of boldness.

The actual sense of hearing: The gas of the king is born because of the song (drama).

When Maria Karas sang, she could feel her emotions up and down. The treble is twirling and rousing. It is full of enthusiasm and strong feelings. It doesn't sound like singing, but she is telling stories with singing.

The actual sense of hearing: the slip of the inter-language linguistic background, and the lingering sounds of the three days must not be lost.

I am very sorry that the monk still intends to use "the sound of nature" to describe, even if it may make many people feel vulgar. Sarah Brightman has a very distinctive voice. Whether it's a whisper or a treble boosted by skill, it makes people listen to comfort, like fresh air after the rain, so you can't wait for the whole The world breathes into the chest.

The actual sense of hearing: males and females become confused and stunned.

In contrast, listening to Vista and listening to Li Yugang once again made it somewhat wrong. After all, the treble of the two is not at the same level. Although PLAY:5 expressed Li Yugang's voice, the male voice was low and soothing, and the female voice was psychedelic and translucent. However, PLAY:5 also exposed the characteristics of Li Yugang's slightly louder treble, and its dolphins sounded incompetent.

The actual sense of hearing: Zhang Yusheng's treble, clean, crisp, translucent without glitches. Because there are not many high-pitched areas in the song, there are only a few sentences. If you write more, it is a bit embarrassing.

The actual sense of hearing: high housing construction, but unfortunately none come! ?

The opening of the "Liu Hu 19th Anniversary Collection" was full of arrogance and laid the foundation for the whole chapter: high spirits! ! ! Li Na’s voice is clear, translucent, full of strength, surging, and with the atmosphere of a gryphon, especially the final high soaring, hovering upwards, enough to make many domestic treble singer Khan Yan Yan!

3, high frequency

Test track list.

Neville Mariner's "Supe: Overture Collection", 2009 "Penguin Classical Recording Guide" recommends four stars with flowers.

The actual sense of hearing: sincerely cut the wrong combination, big beads beads drop jade plate.

With one word, the monk chooses “Run”; with two words, the monk chooses “Run” and “Beauty.” The timbre of the violin and other various musical instruments, through the interpretation of PLAY:5, is like the rain and moisture of the earth. It is particularly beautiful and can even be described by the gracefulness of the dance of "Swan Dance."

The Jean-François Parade Chamber Orchestra (which has more than half a century of history to play Baroque music) is recognized as a classical classic. The solo instruments and the band are both competitive, with good intermiscibility, and fresh stretches. Compared with the rich tone and speed, the whole band is warm and mellow, with a deep sound field.

The actual sense of hearing: The layers are superimposed and orderly.

The violin solo is bright, clear, and melodious. The ensemble is melodious, harmonious, and atmospheric. Other musical instruments are also unwilling to allow each speaker to vocalize, and many are not confused, which can better identify the orientation of different musical instruments.

The most famous violin song in China's history. In 1959, he performed for the first time at the Shanghai Lanxin Theatre. Yuli was a solo violinist.

The actual sense of hearing: exquisitely carved, lingering.

PLAY: 5's high frequency, clear, translucent, violin sound performance is very eye-catching; musical instrument separation is very good, all kinds of instruments lined up neatly, their duties and mutual cooperation, together to create a shrouded in the beam Zhu body The tragedy of color.

The T120 with simple and hivi contrasts the lower sound field, as shown in the above diagram.

V Avenue to Brief

1, the basic operation (mainly based on the official introduction)

Above the front, there are three touch buttons, in charge of "on / off", "play / pause", "track adjustment", "volume adjustment" and other functions. Individual buttons (such as the volume keys) serve multiple roles. The key functions are concise and easy to use, with the charm of “big Jane is beautiful”.

Rear interface and its function description.

2, connection settings

The basic conditions of the network used by deaf people to connect to the evaluation.

Take a look at the connection instructions for the official Quick Start Guide. Quite simply, only 4 steps (just 3 steps without a BOOST bridge). But what about the fact?

Mobile app connection, connection operation is very simple, follow the software prompts one step down, you can achieve "fool" operation. The first wireless connection (Sonos software successfully identified PLAY:5) ended in failure.

Instead, select the alternative setting: Network cable connection. After several minutes of waiting, it still ended in failure.

On Monday, we asked Sonos technical support for a wireless connection. The answer given by Sonos is that there are problems with the compatibility of the NETGEAR router (based on previous experience). It is recommended to adjust the connection settings.

After several attempts, the landlord gave up his mobile app connection and instead sought a PC-side network cable connection. After downloading and installing the PC-side Sonos software, there is no difference between the connection method and the wireless connection. This is the starting page.

Follow the software instructions and click all the way down without spending any brain cells. This time through the network connection, one attempt is successful. After the connection is successful, a system update prompt appears.

It should be noted that during the connection process, registration is required, otherwise online music features cannot be used. The registration location needs to be selected according to the location. If you are in the country but you choose to register at a foreign location, you will be sad to find that you cannot use domestic music software such as qq music and shrimp music.

Online with new speed is fast.

After the software is updated, you need to pair the PLAY:5 and select the position where the PLAY:5 is placed (such as the living room, the room, and the landlord selecting the living room). After pairing, you can see that the Sonos software has a schematic (and location) of PLAY:5.

3, software control

(1) Sonos basic control operation

After connecting PLAY:5, Sonos software control interface. On the left is the PLAY:5 interface, the middle is the playback interface, and on the right is the music source interface and auxiliary functions (sleep timer, alarm clock) interface.

Take a look at the auxiliary functions first. The sleep timer varies from 15 minutes to 2 hours, which basically meets the needs of most people. Alarm clocks can be freely defined.

Settings for PLAY:5 In the "Manage" option of the menu, click to see 7 settings. The first item is the room setting. You can adjust the room name, turn the white indicator on and off, and perform equalizer adjustments.

Set the "Advanced" option interface. There are many setting items and wireless settings are here. Selecting the wireless settings allows you to control PLAY:5 wirelessly (Wi-Fi) on the PC side.

Click on the wireless settings, enter the password in accordance with the dialog box, wait a minute or so, set up successfully, you can pull out the network cable.

(2) qq music added

Although the Sonos software has qq music options, it needs to be added. Click qq music, follow the dialog prompts, fill in the information step by step, until the add a successful dialog box appears.

Sonos qq music player interface.

(3) Add music service


Add music service, there are dozens of music software options, select one of the software to add, its operation qq music to add similar, not repeat them here.

(4) Tuneln radio settings (with local radio settings as an example)

After selecting Tunaln Radio, select “Local Radio” in the dialog box. You can use two methods to select the place: one for the postal code selection; the second is to select the city directly.

However, after practical tests, choosing a city via zip code seems to be impossible in China, because the zip code here can only input 5 (five) digits. It is well known that domestic zip codes are all 6 digits. Therefore, regardless of the input of any five digits, the final position is the United States.

By zip code can not determine the domestic city, and by direct selection of the city to locate. It can be seen that (1) Sonos software does not divide the world according to the usual "five continents", but becomes eight continents. (2) Only some cities can choose (for example, only 6 cities in Guangdong Province). The missing cities are estimated to be temporarily not included in the Sonos software cooperation.

(5) My Music Settings (Local Music Added)

Click the "Manage" menu, select "Settings", click Music Library, in the right dialog box, select "Add", in the pop-up dialog box, select the music source.

Click "Browse" to find the music folder and select it.

Through actual testing, Sonos software can support lossless music in FLAC and WAV formats, but it does not support lossless files in APE format (playlists directly ignore/filter out APE format music files).

(6) The imperfections in the Sonos software during the actual test:

In mainland China, local stations cannot be located by zip code.

The Tuneln Radio section is blank.

Does not support lossless music in APE format; some fonts display garbled characters.

VII. Some Notes on Audio Evaluation

The basis of sound quality evaluation: price. The glimpse of the sound quality is based on the price of RMB 4,000, not groundless. PLAY:5 is required to have the quality of “ten thousand yuan households”. It is actually a bit too good and far-fetched and unrealistic. On the contrary, if it only measures the price of 2,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan, it is inevitably a bit of a tribute to beating horses and doing self-promotion.

Elements of audio evaluation: design, sound quality, workmanship, software. Personally think that the first three are particularly important. Therefore, although deaf people may spend more on software operations, it does not mean that software holds a more important position. The reason why so many pictures were used to explain the specific operation is to tell you that this Sonos software operation is slightly complicated, slightly cumbersome, and not simple enough.

About the sound quality of PLAY:5: It's a bit of a surprise for the deaf! ! ! The surprise was that in such a small body, such a large amount of energy was hidden. Whether it was low frequency, medium frequency, or high frequency, it showed "excellent" quality. It was hard to believe that this was a sound from a box. Of course, all things are relative, PLAY:5 for the low-frequency expression has not been perfect (difficult to express the low frequency of the drum is still a bit difficult)! Intermediate frequency is also difficult to achieve perfection (limited by the box, at least the sound field is slightly lacking, can not open up). As for the high frequencies, individuals think that the PLAY:5 has performed well at this level of multimedia sound, and there is no particular place for criticism.

About PLAY:5 sound field: similar to the effect of small and medium theater.

About Sonos Software: The operation is a bit cumbersome, complicated and not humanized, and there is room for further improvement.

Solar Battery PACK

What are the best batteries for solar? Batteries used in home energy storage typically are made with one of three chemical compositions: lead acid, lithium ion, and saltwater. In most cases, lithium ion batteries are the best option for a solar panel system, though other battery types can be more affordable.

If you install a solar battery today, you will likely need to replace it at least once to match the 25 to 30 year lifespan of your PV system. However, just as the lifespan of solar panels has increased significantly in the past decade, it is expected that solar batteries will follow suit as the market for energy storage solutions grows.

The most important ones to use during your evaluation are the battery`s capacity & power ratings, depth of discharge (DoD), round-trip efficiency, warranty, and manufacturer. Capacity is the total amount of electricity that a solar battery can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Batteries used in home energy storage typically are made with one of three chemical compositions: lead acid, lithium ion, and saltwater. In most cases, lithium ion batteries are the best option for a solar panel system, though other battery types can be more affordable.
