I stole this from a post over on AV Science. It's from the opening sequence in "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy". Looks like a nice workout for IB sub owners... ;D  |

Was my post  Jman=Jesse S I watched this last week on my single SVS. Didn't really hear much deep bass at all. Wonder why |

I'm trying it tonight with my 4-AV18", they should do well at reproducing most of the band, although my electronics brick wall below 7 Hz.

Yeah, I tried it. It really is only impressive if you goose the volume up, at least with my set up, shakes the damn house! Otherwise, it can fool you that there's no bass there. Maybe I need a house curve! Really neat scene though, definetely demo material. Reminds me of Black Hawk Down "IRENE" more than anything of which I can think.

The obvious question is why put near-DC onto a film track when so few people would even be aware of it? Most of the energy here lies in the inaudible unless played at insane volumes.. What did it actually sound like? |

Well, I returned it to Blockbuster. But from what I remebered it sounded like it was almost supposed to be funny. There was this countdown, and then when the planet exploded it made a "blop" sound. If I saw it in the movie theater I would probably have thought it was a joke in the movie, you know, the whole world explodes and it makes this realy weak sound sound.
However, in my setup it just sounded like my house shaking. My ears aren't too good at hearing below 20 hertz, lol. The real low stuff sounded like it was an after effect of the audible blop sound, it came just after that. It didn't really "sound" like anything, just air moving and furniture creaking.

I saw this movie in the theater, and the scene was certainly interesting. I haven't bought the DVD, so not sure how it plays at home. The idea with recording infrasonics is they're something to be 'felt,' not something to be 'heard'......  |

Ah. But it's not all infrasonics. The trace extends well up the frequency range at quite high level. I must see if I can hire this DVD.  |
