Total agreement on five stars for this one.

Friction produces infrasonic sounds, so things like walking, earthquakes, and water crashing into water in the ocean creates infrasonics. Things that go through the air also produce infrasonics, so things like swinging a sword, gunfire, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc create infrasonics.

Most humans can't hear below 20hz, although there are some that can hear a bit below that, although I'm not sure if they're hearing the actual sound or whether they're just very good at detecting the sound waves hitting their body.

Even subwoofers have a very hard time reproducing infrasonic frequencies. Very few subs go under 25hz, those that do tend to be expensive.

But why do we here value infrasonics in our movies? It's because infrasonics enhance the theater experience. A good explosion scene in a movie should pressurize your room if you have the hardware that can handle it. You will want that pressure because a real explosion produces that pressure too.

Forget the technical aspects... it is ALL about the experience. I should start taking pictures of people's faces when I demo my system. I don't know what is bigger, their eyes or their smiles. All my speakers are in-wall or in-ceiling including the sub and they do not know what even hit them.

hi guys,

thanks for the great thread. I need a solution to a situation. I got a SVS PC 12 nsd and i just got myself a Subdude HD to stop the Bass reaching other rooms.

Most bass scenes end pretty quickly in a few seconds and i'm not able to go sufficiently in time to another room to see if the Subdude HD is being effective in controlling the Bass from reaching the other rooms.

Could you guys suggest a few Bass Scenes which have continuous Bass for say a minute or 2 so i have enough time to walk around to the other rooms while the Bass is playing out so i can check the effectiveness of the Subdude HD.

Thanks,

Rana

There's plenty

War Of The Worlds : Tripod begins zapping people, I think that starts at around the 25 minute mark if I remember correctly. Lasts at least 3 minutes. There's plenty of scenes in this movie that have hard bass that lasts for minutes.

Cloverfield: Cloverfield's first assault. Hard bass from the 20th minute mark to 22:44. And like WotW plenty of scenes here with tons of bass that go on for minutes.

The Incredible Hulk: Hulk battles the military outside the university. From my memory it's heavy bass for at least 5 minutes. Don't remember the timestamp though.

Bolt: First 10 minutes, tons of heavy bass.

Setting up my EQ made a huge difference in SQ. I used a Behringer DSP1124P.

It's still a 12 band PEQ. I am running one and it has made a huge difference too, verified by REW.

Just played Live Free Or Die Hard (scene where the fighter jet blows up Bruce in the truck on the unfinished freeway) for the first time with twin Seaton Submersives & lcr Catalysts, wow just wow!! Actually had the amber lights coming on on the subs almost the entire scene. Checked the list here to see where this movie sits and relieved to see it's 5 stars, even WOTW couldn't make the amber lights come on and that's crazy bass! This scene will now be my go to demo scene. Awesome s***!

Good movie too. Just wish they hadn't made it pg-13...
I'll do an average chart for this one this weekend. Actually I have two blu-ray versions of this movie, the stand-alone and the one that comes in the quadrilogy, I wonder if there's any audio differences.

There is only one version of the BD. Wish they would release one with both the PG13 and Unrated cut but over time I have warmed up to the PG13 version...

LFoDH has awesome bass.

I heard that the stand-alone version is a few minutes longer? I'll check later, i'm about to go get Battle: Los Angeles

It shouldn't be. If anything, the unrated dvd is the longer one but only by a minute or two. There really werent much of any new scenes added to either version. Mostly just changed dialogue and some frames cut or not cut.

Have fun with B:LA. I finally got around to watching it. Wow!

Wow, this movie must have been near non-stop LFE! The average is only 25dB lower than the peak, about 5dB lower than most....

They packed a lot of action for its 75 minute runtime, and the soundtrack is amazing. I'd highly recommend Batman: Under The Red Hood to anyone that liked Batman: The Animated Series, and those who liked Heath Ledger's version of Joker.

Never seen it but I've heard of it and I think it is on Netflix, even. I'll check it out.

Well, not that intense...there is hardly any bass under 40hz and it's quite weak in level for what it have, though there is one sweep to 20hz, but it's like i said in lower level...quite shame because this movie have some awesome action scenes, but the director didn't want it to rock in bass department in some reason.

Guys my brother and I just got done watching Battle:LA with the eD A7s-450 in one corner, the CHT 18.1 in the other, and the HSU VTF-15H nearfield and I have to say I have NEVER felt what that movie did to me! I have yet to experience 110+db below 20hz, but there is one scene, I'll be watching it again Sunday and check, that literally made my head rattle. It seemed like it was 30 seconds long. It was an odd feeling to say the least. I'm just reaffirming what everyone else has said: You HAVE to buy this movie! I can't imagine what some of you guys with systems that are capable of producing high infrasonics are are experiencing.

Rented the Battle:LA DVD at last today. Yep, it's a five star. Nope, I won't be buying a copy anytime soon. Maybe when they hit the $5 bin. The camera work annoyed me to the point I almost shut it off several times. I could not wait for it to be over. Someone needs to take away the cameraman's coffee.

In addition to that, something about the audio on the DVD made it unusually quiet... I had to run it 10dB hotter than normal to make up for it. And even then, I barely got reference levels out of the LFE, which was set well above reference by that point. The two tapped horns yawned their way through this one as a result.

Next five star movie, please.

Probably dumb question but is there a difference in LFE quality between dvd and blu ray? I really only watch blu ray but notice dvd is not dead yet and wondering if it might be worth popping in some dvd's on my upgraded system.

The Adjustment Bureau has very little lfe. Movie was ok. On a good note I also picked up LFoDH bluray for $10 at BB. Going to check it out tomorrow.
