Wait, are we talking cars or what?

Occasionally we do talk cars...

I think pint's smooth rear end is just fine...

I was afraid of that. I originally posted that pic in the premium section, so it probably only loads for premium members. I'll re-load it in a sec.

Too funny. Oh and awesome color.

now sure how this is going to sound yet, but theoretically with 80Hz roll off hi-pass, it should sound pretty good. will test it out tomorrow.

Pintsize725 · 06-08-2012, 11:12 PM

Guess I need to try to go bed. Up early in the AM for a trip to the dealership. Hope I don't come back with a '12!

Good Night Pint... Your Car is sweet...Don't get hooked on the 2012 unless you are ready.. You already have a great car..

Why do you think I stay away from the Chevy dealer, or the Mercedes dealer ?

It would only cause me to buy something with a Z on it, Z06/ZR-1/ZL-1, or something AMG, and really I shouldn't ...

So by staying away from them, I cannot get talked into buying one..All they have to do is say, Do I want a test drive ?

The used 350Z I bought years ago, they let me sign a waiver, and I took it home over night for a test drive...They got me good. by the morning, I was signing papers..

I am a smart businessman, but killer cars are my weakness...So I gotta stay away..

Be strong Pint..Your car is killer...

love the set up Mr.kenchan

Edit - how fast does it roll off? 12db? 18db?

kenchan · 06-09-2012, 10:48 AM

thanks, mr. gale.

roll off is 12dB/octave per their spec. it sounds like those noise-cancellation headphones when you turn this on in a plane. lol

at 0dB attenuation facing the rear, the input level is too hot in the low frequencies and my audio clipped. not only did the exhaust tone clip the signal, low frequency noise from road bumps also clipped it. the physical suspension bands were doing a good job isolating bumps though.

since the mic was facing the rear there's no depth in the sound, almost sounds like putting a mic in a plastic box. my tascam recorder had great depth when placed in the cupholder. (just jammed the unit in there partially wrapped in mf towel.

)

so tomorrow im going to try front facing and attenuate by -10dB. will try both flat and high pass filter. i prefer to have no roll off as it sounds more natural. in a car 40hz roll off imho is better as you can maintain the rich tonality of the exhaust. the tascam offers this and real-time input levels, but the rode is just a mic and so only offers 80hz roll off.

unfortunately the high pitched noise is still in the audio, generated by the gopro. but even with the failed attempt today, when the audio was not clipping, it sounded much better than the gopro's built-in mic.

more tomorrow.

Mr Alcheng reminds me of a quote from the lesser-known John Steinbeck novel "The Grapes of Rep".

“Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat, Rep-Cheng will be there. Wherever they’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, Rep-Cheng will be there. If Casy knowed, why, Rep-Cheng will be in the way guys yell when they’re mad an’—Rep-Cheng will be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry n’ they know supper’s ready. An’ when our folks eat the stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they build—why, Rep-Cheng will be there.”
