Nordost System Solution Set-Up & Tuning Disc

 

Nordost’s System Solution is an invaluable tool for the installation, maintenance, and fine-tuning of any HiFi audio system. Arranging a new system is a painstaking and exacting task for even the most seasoned audiophiles. Now, with this newly upgraded, two-disc set, you will have a unique mix of diagnostic tracks, calibration tools, and system conditioning aids that will help unlock the full potential of your sound system.

The System Solution Set-Up & Tuning Discs include tracks that range from the simple, such as channel checks and pink and white noise, to the more complex and unusual LEDR tracks, timed frequency sweeps, and repeat drum beats. Nordost's sound engineers have incorporated specially designed tracks to facilitate full-range loudspeaker positioning and the integration of subwoofers and have even included a number of useful “system service” functions. These functions include degauss and burn-in signal tracks, both of which are essential precursors to fine-tuning your existing set-up or new components. Each of these helpful tracks is fully explained and expounded upon in a detailed instruction booklet, included with every disc set.

Nordost is proud to say that over the years their products have become integral components in preeminent recording studios around the world. This has given them the opportunity to incorporate musical selections recorded using Nordost cables as an exciting new feature on our set-up discs. These carefully curated tracks highlight specific aspects of system performance and will help you to further explore the subtleties of your newly-tuned system. This also means that Nordost users will have the ability to experience performances wired with Nordost from beginning to end!

As no one else has given a review for this I feel .....

Verified Buyer
As no one else has given a review for this I feel compelled to give as many details as possible. The first thing you should know is that this is Set Up/Tuning Disc is aimed at conventional two speaker stereo systems, not surround sound ones. The disc has 46 individual system checks and one burn-in track at the end if you need that too. There are channel checks (ie. just to make sure your sure your right, left speakers are set up) and then pink noise/white noise checks too]. I found the alternating checks useful so that I could get the speaker positioning right, judging the tones matched both left and right. There's something called LEDR tones which will also help speaker positions and toe-in. The disc also has 8 uncompressed drum tracks to check dynamic range which is good. The end of the disc is a selection of 20, what they call, Low Frequency Tones which I found less useful. The instructions in the book are very clear and easy to follow but you may need to use the disc several times to achieve the best sound. For £20 I would say it is worth a go if you are having issues over speaker placement and do not have an "audiophile" ear.
