如何鉴别音响音质六大秘诀？

How to identify the Six Secrets of sound quality?

只要你能记得下面说的三错三对口诀，不论走到哪里，随便听什么CD，你都能够充满自信的告诉自己：这种声音不对，我要选别的。就这样，你不必去找专家，也不必羡慕别人的金耳朵。事实上，您自己就是以音乐表现为准、以耳听为凭的专家了。

As long as you remember the following three wrong three pairs of recipes, wherever you go and listen to any CD, you can confidently tell yourself: this voice is wrong, I want to choose another one. In this way, you don't have to go to an expert or envy other people's golden ears. As a matter of fact, you are an expert on music performance and listening.

一、声音尖锐的就是错

1. It's wrong to have a sharp voice.

小提琴的声音听起来会尖锐刺耳吗？不管你有没有听小提琴演奏的经验，我要告诉你，—定不会。不信的话你可以到饭店里的餐厅，听听那里经常有的小提琴、钢琴、大提琴演奏，看它们会不会刺耳?我保证不会。

Does the violin sound sharp and harsh? Whether you have any experience in listening to the violin or not, I want to tell you that it won't. If you don't believe it, you can go to the restaurant in the hotel and listen to the violin, piano and cello playing there, and see if they are harsh? I promise not.

人声会刺耳吗？绝对不会！可是，为什么店家放起女高音或男高音就会有撕裂耳朵的感觉？那就是失真了嘛！人声那么的浑厚那么的美，怎么可能会刺耳呢?不必管别人怎么说，只要人声会刺耳就不对。

Can the voice be harsh? Absolutely not! But why do stores tear their ears when they play soprano or tenor? That's distortion! How can the voice be so thick and beautiful? No matter what others say, as long as the voice is harsh, it's not right.

人声与小提琴不能刺耳，其他大提琴、长笛、木管铜管等会刺耳吗?当然也不会!所以，你要大声有自信的说：不对不对，它们太刺耳!

People's voice and violin can't be harsh, other cellos, flutes, wooden brass tubes, etc. can be harsh? Of course not! So, you have to say loudly and confidently: No, they are too harsh!

二、声音缩缩的就是错

2. It's wrong to shrink your voice.

“缩缩的”可以用闽南话来讲，换句话说，声音放不开，老是挤成一团，不够开放宽广，这些都是声音缩缩的表现。如果你去音乐厅听演奏会，乐团演奏的声音缩在舞台里面传不出来，这样的音乐厅设计对吗?

"Shrinkage" can be used in Minnan dialect. In other words, voice can not be released, always crowded together, not open and broad enough, these are the performance of voice contraction. If you go to the concert hall and listen to a concert, the sound of the orchestra can't be heard on the stage. Is this the right design for the concert hall?

当然不对!同样的道理，音响的喇叭与扩大机的功能就是要将音乐送到房间每一个角落。如果你听到的声音就缩在喇叭里面传不出来，或者声音老是挤在二支喇叭里面放不开，不必怀疑，肯定有问题。有问题的声音当然不买。

Of course not! In the same way, the function of the loudspeaker and amplifier is to send music to every corner of the room. If you hear a voice that can't be heard in the speaker, or if it's always crowded in two speakers and can't be released, don't doubt it. There must be something wrong. Certainly not buying voices that are questionable.

三、只要声音死死的就是错

3. As long as the voice dies, it's wrong.

你听过有谁演奏音乐要死不活的、没有活力吗？如果真的有这种演奏家或乐团，也不可能有唱片公司会邀请他们去录音。能够录音的人所演奏出来的音乐一定是充满活力、充满生命的。

Have you ever heard anyone play music that is dead and lifeless? If there were such performers or orchestras, there would be no record company that would invite them to record. The music played by people who can record must be full of vitality and life.

不论他是在弹慢板，或者他们正小声的在合奏，音乐里一定是充满力度和张力的，音乐里一定会有活跃的脉动而不是死气沉沉的。如果你听到的声音一直感到活泼不起来，死死的，那么，这样的音响一定不要买，他们一定是哪里出了问题。

Whether he is playing the adagio or they are playing the ensemble in a low voice, the music must be full of strength and tension, and there must be active pulsation in the music rather than dead. If you hear a voice that feels inactive and dead all the time, then don't buy it. They must have something wrong.

你有权力买到声音充满活生感的、听起来舒服的音响器材。至于为什么声音会死死的?你不必为这个伤脑筋，将这些问题留给店家去研究就好了。

You have the right to buy Audio equipment that sounds lively and comfortable. As for why voices die? You don't have to worry about it. Just leave these questions to the store to study.

四、只要声音甜甜的就是对

4. As long as the voice is sweet, it's right.

声音甜甜的？象红豆汤或绿豆汤一样甜吗？象冰淇淋一样甜吗？当然不是！所谓声音甜甜的专指弦乐，就是那种听起来水水的有光泽的那种啦！

Sweet voice? Is it as sweet as red bean soup or mung bean soup? Is it as sweet as ice cream? Of course not! The so-called sweet sound refers specifically to string music, which is the kind of luster that sounds like water!

相对于甜甜的，如果你听到的声音是涩涩的、干干的，那又错了。其实人声也是一样，如果听起来干干的破破的，那绝对不要买。

Compared with sweet, if the sound you hear is astringent and dry, it's wrong. In fact, the voice is the same, if it sounds dry and broken, then never buy.

五、只要声音饱饱的就是对

Fifth, as long as the voice is full, it is right.

声音瘦瘦的表示中频段与低频段的量感不够，所以失去平衡。就好象瘦竹竿般，这是错的。真正好的声音应该是饱满的，中气十足的。无论是中频或低频都要 结实饱满，而不是虚虚瘦瘦的。

Slender voice means that the middle and low frequency bands are not enough, so they lose balance. It's like a thin bamboo pole. That's wrong. A really good voice should be full and neutral. Whether it's mid-frequency or low-frequency, we should be strong and full, not thin and thin.

如果声音瘦瘦的那也表示声音很单薄，听不到很多应该有的细节或泛音堂音。总之，无论什么乐器，他们所发出来的声音都要象一个人吃得饱饱的（当然不是脑满肠肥那种）很健康的样子才对。

If the voice is thin, it also means that the voice is very thin and can not hear many details or overtones that should be there. In short, no matter what instruments they play, the sound they make should be as healthy as a person who is full of food (not full of brain, of course).

六、只要声音松松的就是对

6. As long as the voice is loose, it's right.

紧紧的声音听久了会让人紧张，松松的声音听久了能让人放松。真正好的声音应该是松松软软中又带有活力的。请注意，我所说的松松的不是象海绵那种多孔状的松松的。而是象弹簧那样会慢慢弹上弹下那种松。如果声音硬硬的没有弹性或松得没有力量也都是不对的。

Tight voices make people nervous after listening for a long time. Loose voices make people relax after listening for a long time. A really good voice should be soft and energetic. Please note that what I'm talking about is not porous loose like a sponge. It's like a spring that slowly bounces up and down. It's also wrong to have a hard voice without elasticity or a loose voice without strength.
