hi everyone and welcome here we have the Archie a 320 summer 40s for this a great-looking wooden bamboo speaker which reminds me quite a bit of that male gets together I think I'm not sure how much they really share internally but build quality and materials look just equal just that the Archaea looks like some shrunk version was just one mover the male has two offers and also different looking Twitter's this is the newest and improved version I know this because a friend of mine who is also YouTube reviewer you can check his channel look at his side which is mini clang wounded a he got an older version and which still had a little bit of problems with frequency response he gave Archie some suggestions how to improve the sound and they improved it so the sound you are hearing here has some of his ideas included before having a listen yeah let's have a look at the packaging which is really very simple a simple box but it comes with a nice carrying bag so for transport you can put it here and it will protect the great-looking would also let's check maybe some frequency response measurements and you can see that the speaker here may be thanks so that big woofer in the center is all about bass there is a huge bass boost between two and hundred Hertz the overall frequency response is rather balanced but you just have to like bass in order to like the speaker yeah of course let's have a listen how it sounds as always I'm using high quality binaural microphones so for best results please use high quality headphones yeah at the back you can see it's charged to microUSB which is of course nice for a speaker that big auxilary some reset button volume button play but nothing that special and I will play some tracks from YouTube musician and YouTube pioneer Kevin MacLeod first so let's have a listen yeah I think you can do it already here I will increase volume slightly there is definitely quite a bit of support noise but we are not listening that loud but you can really hear this noise and a wasting or farting quite well let's try another trick yeah also here makes the speaker close to unlistenable and another suggestions he sent them was to close the port I have some some building blocks from my son which are out of foam and I made some kind of pot plaque which will stuff in here which more or less closes the port and when measuring the speaker now with the pot closed you can see that suddenly the base which is deeper the sound simply improves and we will get rid of this ugly pot noise so let's have a listen now with the port closed and you can see and hear and it simply sounds better so closing the port definitely improve the sound and see but according to actually it would be too expensive to redesign the complete speaker so the best solution is really to stuff in some some cotton wool or or yeah even I know some have closed it completely with silicon but I would definitely recommend to close it immediately because it makes the sound much better you still have this bass book but the bass which is deeper now and you get rid of some any any kind of side noise yeah I thought we will compare it against the popular TDK a34 which is quite a bit more balanced but we can have a listen how these two compare starting in with the Archaea and another track from Kevin MacLeod I think maybe you can hear that there seems to be some some stair enhancing algorithm included I will switch over to the K yeah it sounds just flatter not necessarily better but I think that actually sounds really nice despite their huge bass post also because of the scare enhancing which opens the sound quite a bit to decay again does it sound bad but not as exciting as the RTM next I will play some tracks from the great American group cap yak again starting at the arch here to decay sadly sounds cool and and boring although there seems to be some kind of dynamic process included which which stops there I will increase volume slightly to match the most the care game sounds a bit more exciting another trick from cap yak and maybe let's check how loud they both can play so I will get far away to get to avoid any distorted noise from my recording I will increase volume to maximum just make them known attk also maximum there is technique in order I'm sure but you can hear that it sounds quite proud to be kay so you loudness wise no chance for the Archaea but I think it still sounds quite okay at maximum let's try maybe the base Puma now both cost exactly the same which is around hundred dollars and so far I was quite impressed with the base Puma so let's have a listen how it compares against the Archie a320 I will start again with the Archie and another track from cap yak you can hear it's very enhancing effect lay a base Puma on more clothes but the actual sounds of it as if something the mix was missing clearly thanks to their stellar processing another base tumor sounds quite different especially compared against the opportunities to hear that the sound is really I don't know but maybe it even sounds a bit fake in my ears I will again try playing them at maximum so this is the optional maximum volume light amount of distortion already placed your mouth although the base humor starts losing quite quite some of its base it still sounds a bit more convincing with less distortion and also quite a bit louder actually again yes maybe another crack although you can really hear some nice stereo sound stage H their base humor cannot quite offer also a track from cap yet they're based or doesn't have that much base anymore but much more punch somehow sort of it muted the our share of all the stare is really impressive here cause it depends quite a bit and the position how I stand cut when standing here it makes the sound really really broad the base room is definitely quite a bit louder let's let's have a listen at slightly lower levels I think the Archaea might even sound better for low level listening especially as it gives you this open sound and trying to match them volume rise yeah I think it's a matter of taste but Archaea sounds definitely quite a bit more open also thanks to the standard processing you get a great sound stage usually missing from most singing cabinets because so there are definitely a great speaker $400.00 one of the better ones I mean you'll probably even liked it more than the bass Puma but it's not as loud and starts to distort quite a bit at maximum but you definitely have to put in something into the bass pod tool for best sound otherwise it won't sound as great but I'm really enjoying it and I even listen to it against the Dali catch and somehow with some tracks I prefer the Archie this bass boost is correct here quite interesting yeah of course I would have preferred if maybe at Lola visit it's okay when you have such a bass post but at higher levels I would have toned it down slightly or maybe try to extend lower base more yeah but anyhow a great speaker and better than many others for this price I've heard I could even imagine that it sounds better than the male porn down I'm not sure I haven't heard the matter just in a store and I was quite impressed well rather depressed how bad it sounded it was really horrible the actual sounds quite okay although you have to like this bass boost I mean if you don't like it just tone it down with some equalizer take the whole area around 100 200 Hertz down and it should be better so I hope I could give you an idea about the Archaea a 320 nice contender for the bass boomer in exactly the same price for some maybe even better thanks to this great open Sun staging the bass boomer sounds a bit recessed compared to the RG yeah again some bikers both are included within the database so listen there maybe with just exactly the same songs with the speakers placed centered you can maybe hear more details so thanks a lot for watching I hope you liked it I hope you liked the music from cap yak have a nice time and we'll see you I will see you in the next video bye bye
