Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?


Schumann Resonators are little boxes you plug into the wall that produce electromagnetic radiation tuned to 7.83 Hz. This is the frequency that the earth/atmosphere system “rings” at when the Earth is struck by lightning. It is also a common frequency your brain “ticks” at.

When employed in the listening room, many people claim it makes their audio sound better. If this is true, then what is the mechanism of action?

-Is it a matter of the resonator producing a more relaxed mental state?
-Does it help block or alter electromagnetic interference?
-Does it add its own electromagnetic interference to your system that just so happens to be pleasing?

I experimented with one recently and what I noticed is that it seemed to remove some of the high frequency nasties or what some might call “digital glare” (although digital glare can also show up in analog systems). When I made this observation, the resonator was placed right next to my power strip that my CD player, preamp and some other devices are plugged into.

My “proof” of the effect is that I could turn the volume up louder than usual without it sounding “too loud.” The sound levels of the system weren’t any quieter, it’s just that the digital glare was reduced so that I could go louder before thinking “this is too loud,” which usually isn’t a sound level thing per se but the point as which some frequency (often the highs) become irritating.

So who here has experience with these devices? Do you like them? Does anyone know why they work?

References to support claims of benefits would help.

>>>>Really? Who would you believe? There are plenty of rave reviews of Acoustic Revive Schumann generators going all the way back to around 15 years ago. Would those be helpful to you? 🙄

Here’s a review of the Acoustic Revive RR-888 Schumann frequency generator in Stereo Times. Check it out. I have not read it myself. I don’t know what it might say.

Pop quiz - Fact or Fiction? Schumann frequency generators were installed on some NASA Shuttle vehicles. 

This is what Acoustic Revive said on their website regarding their first version of the Schumann generator, RR-77. See if this makes sense.

For Audio equipments
By generating the Schumann Resonance, there is an effect that it neutralizes electromagnetic waves generated from an audio equipment and external harmful radio waves. So interference of electromagnetic waves and radio waves that exist among equipments is disappeared, it becomes possible to reproduce the music clearer, the S/N ratio is improved higher and the distortion is reduced.

For Listening room
Also, by generating the Schumann Resonance, there is an effect that it neutralizes harmful standing waves. And it has the feature of improving the viscosity of the air in the listening room. Therefore, you can reproduce the excellent music, the sound is improved clearly audible, and the depth of the sound image is increased dramatically.

For Listener
It is established medically that generating the Schumann resonance activates the cellular immunity. And it is said that the Schumann resonance produces the good relaxation effects, and the attentiveness is raised greatly. So you can hear the details of the sounds that could not be heard before.

For Live Concerts
Ultra low-frequency pulse generator RR-77 is used in the major recording company!!
Because of the great effects of the RR-77, recording engineers or musicians take notice the RR-77. Recently, the RR-77 is used for the recording process of the major recording company; it has given full play to its ability for not only recording equipments but also a *live performance of a piano and other instruments*. The RR-77 is also used at every music schools and concert.

For Video 
The RR-77 brings a great ability of a projector, such as CRT Projectors, DLP Projectors, Liquid projectors. By using RR-77, the focus of the picture is improved certainly.
We recommend that you use the RR-77 as final method of adjustment of the projector.

The Schumann CD is not really for audio but maybe it would work. The CD is normally sold by health and wellness internet sites, as the Schumann frequency, like Alpha waves, are intended for meditation and similar endeavors. You need two systems obviously but you could use a portable system to play the CD. I personally have two Schumann frequency USB devices from Hong Kong operating in the room that output the 7.83 Hz electromagnetic wave.
To make things even more confusing the full 7.8 Hz signal from the Schumann CD can be put into the room by tiny computer speakers. 😛
And that’s why “audio signals” in cables travel at almost the speed of light - because, like all electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and nearly the speed of light in copper.
It’s kind of a long story but long story short is that all radio frequencies are electromagnetic waves. All frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum are waves, including ELF, Schumann, X-rays, gamma rays, etc. Visible colors are also on the electromagnetic spectrum. We see colors because the eye is sensitive to that range of electromagnetic waves. Acoustic waves are on a different spectrum. It is true that electromagnetic waves have an electric field component and a magnetic field component.
Another puzzler. If the antenna length required for ELF radio frequency of 75 Hz is 20 miles or so, how long is the antenna inside one of those Schumann frequency dumaflaches? 😫
I’m actually referring to the frequency of 7.83 Hz being much lower than speakers can produce. 😳 But now that you ask, here’s another question for you, how does the electromagnetic wave of 25,000 miles fit into the room? 😛
The CD plays an acoustic wave of 7.83 Hz. Whereas the frequency generated by the Schumann device and the natural Schumann frequency are both 7.83 Hz, but they are electromagnetic waves. The wavelength of the acoustic 7.83 Hz signal is much, much shorter than the wavelength of the electromagnetic signal which is equal to the circumference of the Earth, I.e., 25,000 miles or whatever. So, back to the question, how do you reckon they get a 7.83 Hz acoustic wave out in the room by playing a CD?
Question: How can man-made electromagnetic waves like radio, satellite TV and microwaves interfere with or “drown out” the natural Schumann frequency? They are not even remotely close to each other on the frequency spectrum, in fact they are pretty much on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Heck, for satellite transmission the UPLINK and DOWNLINK frequencies are barely separated (a couple of GHz) and they don’t interfere with each other. Furthermore, if those very high man-made RF frequencies drown out the natural Schumann frequency why wouldn’t they drown out the Schumann frequency generator? Hel-loo!
A related question is why do Schumann Frequency CDs work, you know, since the audio frequency they generate is 7.83 HZ? Answer at 11.
