Earfun UBoom X - teaser 3 (Patreon)

When returning home I had tons of measurements in my pocket and after some further tweaks to optimise the sound for the UBoom X, I would like to show the result here.

I opted to go with 3 different tunings by me, which you will be able to choose from the app among Earfun's own presets.

indoor - this should basically mimic a natural response with bass at the neutral side and only some dynamic adjustments for lower levels. This mode should sound pretty controlled up to maximum volume with very minimal bass reduction and little compression effects.

outdoor - similar to the UBoom L this mode boosts bass and treble and also volume slightly for a more aggressive sound which is always needed outdoors to simulate a similar response you usually get indoors due to room reflections etc. Compression is a bit higher than with indoor which allows for a higher overall volume similiar to the Tribit Stormbox Blast, but with a sound that remains better in balance and with more kick.

insane - this mode takes it to insane levels literally: it boosts bass and treble even more (above Partyobx level) and also enhances the surround effect, at the same time it compresses more at high levels which results in an output which is higher than the Tribit Stormbox Blast, but with more kick to the bass and the sound being still better in balance overall. This mode pushes the limits of the speaker already and there may be some slight distortion hearable with extreme recordings and cranked to the max. I really set the maximum volume to have some further headroom for softer recordings as well.

I still have 1 day to optimise everything and will try to use this time to achieve a result as good as I can manage.

Sorry about the clipping towards the end of the video where I play speakers at higher levels, it was simply too loud and bassy indoors. I will have to do some more outdoor videos once the speaker is running the final firmware.
