sibilence....any cures out there?


I have recently accuired a pair of Nola Viper 1A speakers, while their performence is outstanding generally, the only problem is highlighted sibilence on vocals which is very annoying!!! Is this down to the speakers? Would a change of interconnects help? Any ideas from you guys would be appreciated greatly...

As with all audio performance, assuming nothing is broken, 95% of the sound you hear is your speakers and your room.

Sibilance is in the 5-8000hz range which means it's in the tweeter.

Start by playing around with speaker placement, and also try changing where you are sitting. Moving a couple of inches can change things by 5-10db.

Next is to figure out what is going on with your room. Have you taken a thorough analysis of your room's acoustics? If not, time to look into room acoustics.

Alternatively, change your speakers back.

No cable change will fix your problem, (unless you have a broken cable)
