(vFinal_rev5) AudioPhile Premium HD Acoustics for All A2 & UIQ3 Phones

Posted by Hiron
Finally, beta testing phase is finished. Completely rewritten AudioPhile Premium HD Acoustics is released for all A2 (DB3150, DB3210 and DB3350) and UIQ3 Phones.

It was based on original wbxml from SE Aino R1BA049. It only has an effects for hearing a music with portable wired handsfree, bluetooth and line out through fastport and 3.5mm jack in Media Player / Walkman Menu.

Notes before read further:
- Examples of phones that has Clear Audio Experience: Satio, Aino, W995, W715, W705, W902 and W980
- Examples of first generation A2 Phones (DB3150): K850, G502, V640, W910, W890, Z770, K630 and K660
- Examples of second generation A2 Phones (DB3210): C901, C902, C903, C702, W902, W995, W705, W715, Naite and T700
- Examples of third generation A2 Phones (DB3350): Aino, Yari, Elm and Hazel
- Examples of UIQ3 phones: P1, P990, P900, M600 W950 and W960
- MegaBass and Bass equalizer is not exist in a phones that has Clear Audio Experience

This acoustics is compatible for ALL A2 DB3350, DB3210, DB3150 and UIQ3 phones which is using wbxml or aat accoustics. Other phones that utilize ZAPF and APF is not supported.

Main Features:
- Every volume step had been modified to show consistent performance. The bass is still maintained without distortion at max volume.
- Increased Dynamic Range, depends on acoustic selection, your headphones and audio files quality. Hear the sound as it is, like hearing with your desktop computer.
- 3D Reverberation Surround Effects with minimal impact on lower frequencies. For more effects, you can try to turn on Stereo Widening.
- Input signal has been enhanced as high as possible to maintain overall music instruments audibility (it doesn't mean volume).
- Enhanced filtering for all frequencies range to maintains overall music instruments attacks.
- Enjoy enhanced Clear Bass in a phone without Clear Audio Experience.

Q: I don't know the platform of my phone. What should I choose between DB3150, DB3210 and DB3350?
A: Just PM me your phone model or try all three of them and you will know which is the best for your phone

Q: Which one should I choose? Normal or Amplified?
A: For myself, I choose normal. "2. Amplified" have more WOW effect, punchy bass and crystallized treble while "1. Normal" had more soundstaging and natural sound.
If you use "2. Ampilfied" wbxml and feel that the sound is not balanced, use equalizer | 14 | 4 | 6 | 2 | 0 | (non-Clear Audio) or full ClearBass + | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | (Clear Audio)
The main idea is to raise a midrange to get more balanced sound.
If you use "1. Normal" wbxml then use MegaBass eq or full ClearBass + | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Q: I have UIQ3 phones. How to use this acoustic?
A: Don't upload csv and customize_upgrade.xml. Just choose your wbxml and rename *.wbxml to *.aat. Upload it to your phones.
It's not necessary to upload phf_3_play.aat and phf_jack_play.aat

Q: What is "optional - choose only one\1. vkp patching to remove (+8) and (-8) manual eq limitation" folder?
A: By applying these patch, you will theoritically more extreme manual equalizer. +-8 bar limitation becomes +-14 bar

Q: How to apply that?
A: Read || here || for more information

Q: I didn't see my phones mentioned in this folder. Where is mine?
A: In this folder, these are some of the patch that I can find by googling. You can port the patch to your phone.

Q: How to port the patch?
A: Read || here || for more information

Changelog:

Final_rev5 (23-09-2009)
- Changes in wbxml. Increased volume on DB3210 and DB3350
- Simple DRC fix in csv

For older Changelog, please move on to README*.txt in the zip file

To summarize the main features above: The main goal of this acoustic is to provides like.no.other unforgettable listening experience while still keeping the volume as low as possible to prevent ears damage and fatigue.
If you compare this acoustic with original W995, you will perceive the music as if it was played louder, although in fact the volume (sound pressure level) is still the same!

All features above can be easily noticed when hearing high quality audio files with Hi-Fi Audiophile Headphones. Mp3 audio files and standard quality headphones will not unleash full potential of this acoustics.

Attention:
- DO NOT PLUG THE HEADPHONES FASTPORT WHILE PLAYING A MUSIC THROUGH LOUDSPEAKER. Stop the music first, then plug the fastport, or you may get shocked because of that.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Notes about customize_upgrade.xml in "optional - choose only one\2. customize_upgrade_xml to tpa-preset-custom, not for Clear Audio or UIQ" folder which is uploaded tpa/preset/custom

Normally if you use manual equalizer, it will not allow you to modify it above +/-8bar (8dB).
By using customize_upgrade.xml that is provided, your manual equalizer will set to| +14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 |. MegaBass value is | +14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 |, and now you can customize it furthermore.

Q: Do I really need to upload it?
A: No. If you don't upload it, you will not get this "extreme" manual equalizer. That's simple.

You may edit customize_upgrade.xml yourself to fit your own needs. Open it with notepad and read the help inside it.
Modify it to a value that is more than +/-14dB will not work. For example, 17dB value will be ignored. +/-14dB would be set instead.

Q: I want to edit more than 14dB. I want | +25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | !
A: PM me for special version of *.csv. Dynamic range may be reduced

Q: I want to tweak manual equalizer a little bit. Can I do this?
A: Sure. But remember that the first bar has been modified to amplify 63Hz frequencies to +14dB, a value that is normally not allowed in manual equalizer which is limited to +/- 8dB.
Because of this reason, Please DO NOT make any change in the first bar of manual equalizer. Look at pictures below:

It was actually | +14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | instead of | +8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 |

If you lower it, you can't raise it above 8dB again. If you accidentaly lowered it, just reupload customize_upgrade.xml

Q: Too much bass in manual equalizer. How to solve this?
A: Okay, you may modify it. Lower the first bar until it suits your needs. Or you may edit customize_upgrade.xml yourself to fit your own needs.

Q: Can I use any preset other than manual equalizer?
A: You may use your own default preset such as Normal or MegaBass. No stricting rules for these default preset.

Dude,you're fast!Tomorrow i'll try your acoustics.Now i'm on my sisters house and here just use Macintosh

Cheers and congrats for the driver!
We need more quality lovers instead loudness hunters

Posted by code28h4p
nice acoustic....i've tried 3 of them....and i choose #1...it is not so loud.....with simple EQ.....maybe sometime i'll try #3 with simple EQ (not a customize one). Cheers

Posted by Hiron

@luhccas,
You're Luhccas-Cesky, right? I just can say: Thank you very much! Now I'm working on the new version

@code28h4p,
Yes, I usually listen around 3-4 bar volume (I never listen at max volume (8bar) xD)... So I don't make it too loud... But maybe "drc off" can satisfy you... It's 15dB louder than "flat"

@all,
I test this acoustic using HPM-85 (burger-sized drivers)...
Because of that, I find that maybe my manual EQ preset (customize_upgrade.xml) can make the audio becomes a little muffled on HPM-77 or small headphones such as HPM-60... You can lower a bass by modifying the first bar, or maybe makes your own customized acoustic, or using defaut EQ preset

Posted by mrjulius
is this work in c902?

Posted by Hiron

@mrjulius,
of course! It's DB3150 right? Just try FLAT at first... If you don't like the manual equalizer, you can try your own eq, such as MegaBass, or edit customize_upgrade.xml to get your desired manual EQ

To all,
I have a plan to make acoustic for MPS speaker and MMC cable... Assuming that most of speaker out there has a poor quality... Maybe I should limit the dynamic range and make the channel tighter to prevent distortion at max volume... Then we could easily pumped up the volume while still minimizing distortion... But since I don't have MPS speaker and MMC cable (without testing, it could be worse), I can't promise this... Maybe I could do blind testing by using 3.5mm jack from HPM-77 and my old speaker

Quoted word above is only valid for beta version.

So i just drag the file in ifs/settings/acoustics/
Also the cuztomize xml?
And i have mps 70 speaker so i can try your driver.
In your driver is eq uneditable?

Posted by x.man
@hiron
can i use your acoustic in my C905 and what should I do: flash it with one ****.zip or just uploud .csv and .PHF files

Posted by code28h4p
@mrjulius & x.men
Put *.csv too...it will make sound feels better.

Posted by Hiron

@mrjulius,
MPS speaker is different... This acoustic doesn't has any effect on it

Extract the rar first... Then in a2uploader, select the desired "upload -*.zip." Press FLASH button instead of FS Tools.

My EQ uneditable? No. Read the first post again, I just updated it. Pay an attention especially since "Notes about customize_upgrade.xml in tpa/preset/custom"

@x.man,
Extract the rar first, then flash it with one ****.zip that you desired. Try 1. FLAT first.

For all people,
I have modified the first post to makes the rule about manual equalizer becomes more understandable. Pay an attention especially since "Notes about customize_upgrade.xml in tpa/preset/custom."

Not Mr.....but Ms.....

@mrjulius,
If you add firmware files (*.mbn and *.fbn), it will flash the entire phone...

But if you only add the upload -*.zip files provided, it would just only access FS and automatically uploads the files to respective subdirectories. It's like uploading a custpack. Only 10 seconds.

You don't really need to use flash button. You can use "FileSystem Tools" and upload the PHF, CSV and XML manually. It's just that using flash button is more simple way without browsing your FS directories

Quoted word above only valid for beta version.

Use W980 acoustic? You don't need to upload the original. But if you would like to, it's okay

so sir i just only drag the files and thats it and i will follow rules not to unplug headphones

Posted by Hiron
not to unplug headphones? You can do that of course...
It's just advissed to not plug the handsfree while you play a music through loudspeaker... That's because the volume would be set to max for a while (0.2sec) through your handsfree... If you accidentaly wears that handsfree in your ears, you would get shocked

If you stop the music while plug the handsfree, that would be okay

mmm...how bout if you make some DRC off acoustic files but not too loud one???? or how if we put *.csv from DRC OFF pack together with DRC Flat and vice versa???? i mean how its compensation goes???

Posted by Hiron

Here is the fact:
- wbxml from FLAT and DRC OFF are really the same. csv is different.
- csv from FLAT and AGGRESSIVE are really the same. wbxml is different.

I already modifying the volume step in DRC off so they has not too loud SPL. Your ears fatigue because it has more treble since no compression was done. Open customize_upgrade.xml in "3. upload - DRC off.zip" and search this line:

||eq-band-16000||-11||/eq-band-16000||

Changes -1 to a lower value (such as -12, 13, or even -14). Upload to tpa/preset/custom. If you set to -14, the treble is not altered, and would not be too fatiguing to heard.

I have tested some of your drivers with a Audio Technica ckm-70,AKG k26p,Westone UM2,Shure E2g and SE110,Sony MDR-ex90 and 85,Phonak Aud�o PFE,Sennheiser Cx300 II precision,Koss the plug,ksc9,porta-pro,HPM-70 and HPM-77.
The flat files works well with big sized drivers and using my Fiio E5.Without head-amp the balanced armature headphones rocks with; voice dedicated rhythms,opera,jazz,blues and MPB!(brazilian popular music)
Really,really,really good!With normal drivers(Not akg and porta-pro) sounds good but,due a hardware limitation thereof,don't sounds properly.
The DRC off files sounds good just with the plug,due the 16mm driver with loose calibration to avoid distortion in low frequencies i think.With other headphones the sound have a "cold" touch who don't pleases my ears... Is excelent for some rhythms but not for all.(hip-hop,drum'n bass,techno,electro etc give me a bit of mixture of frequencies...) Even using 320kbps fraunhofer codecs for mp3 and Fiio.
The best for me was flat,who just need to change .csv files for provide a really good music experience!
Thank you again for your interest in quality acoustics!
Later i'll try all again using other values on .csv files and post another analyses,cheers!

Posted by Hiron
You test it in 15 different headphones???

The real audiophile

Btw, I have downloaded Quad Maximum in your Mediafire folder... Really good!

"cold" touch in drc off? I realized that too, and I thought I know why...
Did you use my customize_upgrade.xml?
It sets the equalizer to | 0 | -14dB | -14dB | -14dB | -11dB |
Each frequencies was | 63Hz | 250Hz | 1000Hz | 4000Hz | 16000Hz | for non Clear Audio phones, and
| 400Hz | 1000Hz | 2500Hz | 6300Hz | 16000Hz | for Clear Audio phones.

All I could think is because of the simple (or say, low quality) equalizer of SE phones. For example, maybe the equalizer accurately reduced 4000Hz and 16000Hz into -14dB and -11dB.

But how about 10000Hz? How about the other gap? I thought it could be inaccurately suppressed, or even released! That makes some frequencies flow off, producing "cold" sensation of hearing.

This is the different case with FLAT, which sets the equalizer to | +14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5dB |. The frequencies flow becomes more consistent, since we really know that it only amplify 63Hz and 16000Hz, unlike DRC off which suppressed 4 important frequencies and release many other frequencies inaccurately... So we could hear that something is wrong and certain sound is missing...

The only solution for this: Use "Normal" or netral equalizer which doesn't amplify anything. But I thought we need to get more bass to makes some WOW effect. Yes we can use MegaBass which is accurately amplify it, but it will makes the signal clipping and producing distortion since there's no DRC suppression

Or maybe SE could release some software update to makes the equalizer filter becomes more accurate, or implement parametric equalizer. But it requires much more processing power, and could makes some slowdown to our phones...

Did you have the solution for this? I'm waiting your csv

Edit: New version is prominent. But I can't promise it for now

First of all I like to know what the .csv files really do? Changes in .csv do affect the equalizer or volume? I think volume. Rite then how can I change the manual eq's like customize_upgrade method? Please clear my doubt.

[ This Message was edited by: idumbakumar on 2009-08-25 18:32 ]

Posted by Hiron
csv only affect volumes, but you can make the whole acoustic better with csv.

About customizing manual eq, just open customize_upgrade.xml:


<eq-band-63>3</eq-band-63>

<eq-band-250>2</eq-band-250>

<eq-band-1000>-1</eq-band-1000>

<eq-band-4000>2</eq-band-4000>

<eq-band-16000>3</eq-band-16000>

It's pretty clear, I thought. Just change the bolded value to your desired settings. Max recognised value is +/-15dB

Tutorial modifying csv? I learn it from Luhccas Cesky. Look at my conversation with him in || This Topic ||

Hi Hiron! Remember me from SE-NSE? lol. Anyways like I said, I'll talk to you here since you seem to be more active here....hope you don't mind

So umm, I don't really understand this. My W715 has only the Walkman menu and not the Media Player, unless I'm missing bout some stuff on my phone.

Basically, I'm no audiophile but it'd be good to have better sound quality while keeping the volume at an acceptable level. Would you still suggest that I use #1 and leave everything as is? I'm currently using the manual equalizer with the original W715 acoustics on HPM-64[.

@geokilla,
Because it's Clear Audio phone, upload only wbxml and csv files. Don't upload customize_upgrade.xml in W715

Yes I suggest FLAT. If you like it, try DRC OFF (better clarity)

You also has G705, right? You could upload all files (including customize_upgrade.xml) to G705

I actually have a G705 flashed to W715 firmware. And I'm loving it =). I don't mind downgrading back to G705, but I really like the Walkman feature haha. Makes my phone special since I cross flash

So between the HPM-64 and HPM-70, which would you recommend that I use to go with your acoustics for my W715? I'll definitely give FLAT with DRC OFF when I can. Like I said, I like keeping the volume at acceptable, soft levels. Don't wanna go deaf

[ This Message was edited by: geokilla on 2009-08-26 03:00 ]

Posted by Hiron
Err... I actually check both forum once a day. It's just that there are less reply

For now, I recommend to download new version. Don't downgrade again to G705. Keep your W715

Because it's clear audio experience phone, upload only wbxml and csv. Leave away customize_upgrade.xml, and use your desired equalizer. Believe me, it's better than beta version

Ya thanks hiron
But i'm using w995 for that customize method doesn't work rite? Then as now there's no way for doing that correct? Tomorrow i'll try ur acoustics and ket u know. And I know editing eq patches for A1 mobiles and A2V1 so I could understand.

Posted by Hiron
Yup. Just upload wbxml and csv. Your Clear Audio preset is already great. Use any eq setting that you wish, max out the Clear Bass

As for customize_upgrade.xml, I don't know how to do that for now. And by the way, I'm just assuming that customize_upgrade.xml would not work for Clear Audio phones simply because it has different filter range, therefore should has different registry key names.

But in fact, I actually never tried it myself. Maybe you can try, and who knows if your manual eq can be set above 3 bars?

hi hiron, so im using your acoustics on a w995 and the sound from the headset is not loud enough for me but i haven't uped the csv file so my question is will it give me some boost in volume and how much are we speaking 5% ..10 ?

Posted by code28h4p
wuih....i wanna installed your driver and make some test, but i couldn't do it right now...i've upgraded my PC to win*ows 7, it seems my A2uploader couldn't read my phone

Posted by Hiron
@wisher
Please upload the csv. It makes a big differences.

If you think that SOFT csv is not too loud, upload HARD csv. The name described itself

SOFT has greater quality, but HARD is much louder, say 50% more SPL or about +6 to +21 dB.

If you still think that listening at 8 bar max in HARD csv is not loud enough, you must had an iron ears! I usually listen SOFT csv at 4 bar, and hard csv at 2 bar

Quoted word above is not valid since v1.1, only for 1.0

EDIT:
@code,
I'm on Windows 7 RTM and it works fine. Use ggdrivers from latest SEUS, it's located in C:Program FilesSony EricssonUpdate ServicesetupdriversUSBFlashDriver.zip

Extract the zip and when you connect the phone by holding C and it says that "Install Driver Failed," open Device Manager.
In there you would see something like "SEMCBOOT Download". Right Click > Update Drivers, point it to the files you extracted. It should works fine

I put the csv and it's still not loud enough for me, so i compared it to W810 with XSound CyberBass acoustics and the volume of w995 at 8 = w810 at 6, hope you can boost it a little

Posted by Hiron
:amazed: You're able to hear SPL 150% louder than me

I have some question for you:
1. Are you sure you already upload HARD, instead of SOFT?
2. What handsfree are you using right now?
3. What acoustic did you used before in W995? Does it sounds louder than HARD csv?
4. Are you able to hear W995 with HARD csv and max volume for two hours or more without any hurt in your ears?

XSoundCyberBass is an apf acoustic, right?

By default, HARD csv were already 6dB louder than W995 original...
Ok, here you go, made special for you by request: 12dB louder than W995 original. But remember, I also have reduced the EQ capability to prevent distortion from 15dB to +/-9dB max. Any value above that will be set to 9dB.

Here's the deal your acoustics have gotten really loud with the latest csv definitely the loudest А2 acoustics ive tried, my problem is that i am using hpm-65 and thats why i wanted more boost (they dont go inear) but with the inear headset really loud good job

Posted by Hiron
A2 loudest acoustic? Err.. For myself I prefer quality over loudness..

We also could make it more louder than this special csv, but we must choose between two consequencies: reduced eq capabilities or let the sound distort if we raise the eq..

And why using hpm-64? Hard csv already sounds loud in hpm-77.. It even louder in HPM-85. You use w995, right?

And btw, did u hear through fastport or 3.5mm jack?

Did it sounds properly on jack? I didn't test it because I didn't have W995.. I just do some blind acoustic editing..

fastport is louder, i think, but 3.5 is clearer and less distrotion and in few songs sounded more louder its kinda hard to tell.

Im using hpm-65 cuz i walk a lot and they are more comfortable and dont fall off easy, hpm85 damn too big.

Its still not on par with the apf acoustics on loudness maybe 20-30% less loud, quality sounds the same.

Posted by Hiron
@fastport is louder?
After investigating, 3.5mm jack uses different channel mixing, so it can behaves differently on the way it handles the sound. And 3.5mm jack also capable of handling more output power than fastport, hence contributing on the overall clarity

Do you still want the louder one?

Ok, by using this csv, equalizer is limited to +/-3dB to minimized distortion.

Here it is: 21dB louder than original W995. Use at you own risk.

If you think that it's still not too loud, then I'm surrender

one question does the csv effect the phf and jack volume or the whole phone when in walkman player cuz when i put that loudest.csv and removed the headset there was some serious distortion o and it gave it nice boost from the headset and you may not like this part

its still not as loud as the w810. I know it may sound ridiculous but its just how it is, you gave it a nice shot and thank you for that

The csv doesn't affect the whole phone.. It's only used in media player/walkman when using handsfree/bluetooth.. If you use File Manager to play the music, it doesn't has any effect.. But if you want, I can make csv for File Manager and Loudspeaker..

If you suddenly remove the headset while playing a music, it takes some time for a phone to switch the mode.. Since I had raise the input signal, it will produced short distort.. That's normal

omg.. I surrender

Raising it furthermore will result in distortion.. I don't know, maybe it's limited in main, or could be hardware limitation

And btw, I'm retiring from acoustic modding world for a while.. I don't have any further idea..

What are these values in the original?

Posted by Hiron
What do you mean by default?
Each value controls 5-band manual equalizer, but it's untested in clear audio phones. All default is 0. You can set it to plus or minus value

Sennheiser CX-500 test.. Really very good driver.. No distortion.. Best best..!!
Max value 14?

Posted by Hiron
No. K850 default is 15, but I may be wrong.. You could edit manual equalizer, or use Bass and MegaBass

You have K850? The csv may not work, therefore you don't get additional dynamic range and boosted (+6dB) volume. It depends on the csv

By using csv, I also can make the equalizer recognize more than 15dB/bar when using customize_upgrade.xml.. But only for phone that has csv

I'm glad hearing that you're satisfied

Hi hiron I used your driver 'hard'. The sound quality is Wonderful. But doesn't have that much loud. Its decent.
I feel 3.5mm jack gives more 30% volume than fast port and quality also good with no distortion at t max. Why don't you do the change for fast port also.
