F&D (Fenda) -(audio)Economical Home Theatre system
Sep 16, 2009 05:03 PM 16485 Views

*Note: This is a 5.1 surround audio system and doesnt provide any video output or HDMI upscaling.


I liked





  1. Big subwoofer (Active 8 inch woofer placed in a big cubical enclosure) - It generated good bass response. Its of bass reflex (ported type) with frequency response starting from 20 Hz (Claimed)




  2. Remote to switch between auxillary in and 5.1 prologic sound for DVD outputs.




  3. Good audio quality compared to similarly priced and speced hometheatres.






*Would have been better





  1. If digital input (optical) or coaxial was provided




  2. If auto calibration was available (automatically calibrates or adjusts the volume of individual speakers as per the placement of speakers and rook acoustics)




  3. If Separate receiver was provided.






But again the above said will add significantly to the cost.


Not So Sure


Service backup


Had gone to Ezone and saw this neat 5.1 home theatre package.


Some auido philes say that a woofer needs to be atleast 8 inch to 15 inch size max in diameter to generate good bass effect. Most of the home theatres we see in the price range of around 6500 Rs. come with a 6 inch woofer.


This one as an 8 inch woofer and good surround speakers. There is a full logic remote and can be switched between auxilary in and DVD .


I have a basic F&D hometheatre and am satisfied with it.


I felt it was better than similar speced LG, Samsung, Phillips hometheatre systems.


Ezone is currently offering at around 6250 Rs.


*A GOOD HOMETHEATRE SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING




  1. POWERFUL SUBWOOFER (SIZE 8 INCH TO 15 INCH) ANYTHING LESS WOULD PRODUCE POOR BASS OUTPUT. There should be no jarring at all volume levels. Frequency response should be from as low as 30 Hz. Most companies claim this but in reality its difficult to produce this frequency sound.




  2. The surround speakers if very small will only produce high frequency sounds. The larger the surround speakers the better. In this case






Subwoofer output would be - 30hz to 200 Hz (Very lowfrequency Bass)


The center speaker and surround speakers - 200Hz to 20000 Hz (Mid bass to High frequency)


If the above said kind of setup is available then the hometheatre covers the entire spectrum of frequency of sounds. In this case watching movie or songs would be enjoyable. Please keep in this mind if you really want to enjoy the music out of hometheatre systems.


Even the current product reviewed doesnt cover all the frequency ranges (well most hometheatres dont cover)


If you are an audiophile (audio lover) and looking for excellent hometheatre please go for purchasing a good AV receiver with digital amplifier


Good ones are Yamaha, Onkyo, Denon, Sony etc.


Its better to get the speakers custom built.




  1. Subwoofer (JBL) the one used in Cars. Available 12 inch to 15 inch. Would cost around 3200 Rs to 4500 Rs.




  2. Center speaker & surround (JBL COAXIAL 6 INCH SPEAKERS used in cars) - around 2300 Rs. for a pair.






The homework to be done would be.




  1. Study AV receiver - It should have digital amplifier, HDMI upscaling (Most support passthrough), Auto Calibration (Automatically adjusts the sound coming through all speakers).




  2. Get the details of the speakers to be connected to the amplifier (Resistance of speakers to be connected to amplifier (would be 4 ohms or 6 ohms)) and the power rating (e.g 50 Watts RMS)




  3. Speakers which are to be purchased needs to match the amplifier specification.




  4. Get a local carpenter and built the enclosures (boxes). Cheap and best material would be MDF (Medium density fiber board) which is available in all local hardware stores. One sheet would cost around 800 Rs (Around 25 Rs. per square feet for 0.5 inch thickness).




  5. The enclosure design is one of the crucial things. The volume of the box to be designed is a very key factor.






The link provided above gives a good idea of how to build a box. A bass reflex system (or ported or vented enclosure) is ideal for producing good bass output. The basic thing is
