Vifa Copenhagen versus DiamondBoxx

[jimmyjimmy19702010]

I received a complaint from my neighbour so I reduced the volume to 75% and at that level, it could still be heard up the road and around the corner. As you got within 20 meters of the unit, the Iphone5 mic overloads. I then adjusted the bass from flat to the 3 o'clock position and you could hear the extra bass but the iPhone mic was overwhelmed.

I need to source a proper mic for these tests. Far from a proper test, I must admit.

Here is an old vid of my V2.0 build (similar size and sound - the V5.0 is much louder though).

Bass / Treble controls set to flat - very bassy song.

Fail! Recorded an outdoor distance sound test of the V5.0 on the weekend and after uploading to YouTube they've muted the sound for copyright purposes! :-(

Hahahahaha. That's awesome jimmy. diamondboxx ain't got nothing on that.

Javi will make a sound comparison between the DB versus 3 others great BT boomboxes, Teufel Boomster XL, Thodio and Vifa Copenhagen. Just a matter of days or weeks I guess. But the more I learn about those the less I expect them to be a great match for the DB. They are smaller and in the case of the Thodio the sound seems boomy a lot. The Vifa Copenhagen is said to be outdated compared to his new little sister the Vifa Oslo and the Teufel Boomster XL was tested against the Aiwa Exos 9, the AE9 stands its ground very easy against it.

Those models aren't directly comparable as they target a different market. The DB is more about loudness and power where as the others are more directed to HiFi tuning.

The European market is very different to the US market if the look and style of euro BT speakers is anything to go by.

And for the price, Aiwa E9 is STILL a Real Deal.

Aiwa E9 is the undisputed king of the under $300 boomers!!

. In terms of outside performance, the Aiwa Exos 9 was previously tested to disturb a whole village and heard 600m far.

Good to hear that someone has already done the groundwork and proven that the E9 is able to disturb an entire village!
My goal, however, is far more modest than that.
