5/9/2023 0 Comments Audio overload 64![]() ![]() On modern Linux systems using PulseAudio, if Audio Overload does not output any sound, you may need to launch it with the padsp wrapper, as explained the ArchLinux wiki. The formats supported include: AHX, AY, COP, DSF, GBS, GSF, GYM, HES, HVL, IMF, KSS, MDX, MOD, NSF, NSFE, ORC (TRS-80), PSF, PSF2, QSF, RAW (Rdos), ROL, RSN, S3M, S98, SAP, SCI, SNDH, SPC, SPU, SSF, VGM, VGZ, VTX, WSR, YM. Like foobar2000, it has the feature of WAV conversion of all supported formats. The player does not support plugins and the only customization is the muting of channels. It was originally written for Macintosh, but later ported to Windows and Linux. I could see where it would be perfect for the person that is the consummate basshead.Audio Overload is a video game music player that supports 33 video game music formats. I find it narrows the stage and doesn’t allow the details or clarity shine through. Paired with the already bassy and warm U12 it is a bass overload to me rendering extended listening sessions difficult. Unfortunately, it is a short-lived experience for me. To my ears, it is a really fun and incredible sound. The apex-m15 module features a combination of dual ambient ports (that are larger than the single hole in the m20) and modified internals to achieve -15dB isolation. The apex-m20 module has been made to provide -20dB of noise isolation, the ultimate choice for those seeking the highest level of isolation. It is so different from the U12 I first heard when I opened the box, it has been an incredible transformation. My U12 setup of choice is the U12 w/ M15 module and the Ref. I have swapped cables and sources and modules until I found a sound signature that is difficult to match at the TOTL IEM level. I will be giving my comparison using the 64 Audio U12. The sound will ultimately come down to a matter of taste and what strikes your fancy. After all, I consider myself an audiophile or at least someone that enjoys great sounding music. I cannot in good faith say that you will have the same results so I would rather stick to the audio benefits of the modules and what you can expect to hear. It is not a cure but it simply does not aggravate or cause the tinnitus to flare up. I have become a fan of the Apex/ Adel signature and yes it does give me some relief. I will say that I have two different IEM’s that utilize this technology, the 64 Audio U12 and the Zeus XRA. I have learned to concentrate and listen past the static to hear a silent noise floor in a DAP or if hiss exists when connecting an IEM to any given source, anyway, enough about my condition. I regularly tolerate a persistent white noise in my ears that I feared would ultimately impede my audiophile hobby. It was similar to the sound of outdoors late at night where you may hear a slight ambiance as opposed to complete silence. I am not sure when my tinnitus started but I noticed it, at first, in the still of the night. My specific tinnitus manifests itself in a low-grade almost constant static that if agitated becomes a louder more annoying static. The pressure and vibrations can cause hearing loss, ear fatigue and really screw with US folks that have tinnitus. In a nutshell, it is technology designed to relieve trapped air pressure inside your ears when you are listening to IEM’s. I am not the most scientific guy, you won’t find me discussing the technology behind all of these modules but I will include a link (see below) to the information behind the technology. We will talk about the M15 and the M20 Apex modules and the effect they have on the sound of my U12. Allow me to simplify it for you and for me as well. 64 Audio utilized Adel in collaboration with Asius Technologies and as is the case with many a relationship it ended in divorce so 64 Audio developed their own module…The Apex.Īll of this talk of the S1, B1, M15 and M20 I know it sounds rather confusing, it makes me sound like a Quarterback calling signals behind center. I will say that the M15 Apex has replaced the B1 as my go to module because it opens up the sound that much more than the B1. ![]() During the review the Adel B1 module was my favorite choice because it opened up the sound a lot more than the S1, which is the one that came with the U12 I purchased. Turn off (OFF) In the recording or playback, toggle the switch to the OFF (the purple light flashes once and turns off) to save the recording and shut down. I wrote a review of the 64 Audio U12(see below) and at that time the review was done with the S1/B1 Adel modules, I didn’t have the Apex at that time. Tips: When recording, it is recommended keeping a distance of more than 10 feet from the microphone to avoid blasting sound. This review is primarily about the Apex module as it is the latest technology utilized by 64 Audio. ![]() It has taken a lot of brain burn-in, cable swapping and trial and error including Apex or Adel. I can tell you it wasn’t love at first listen. I truly love my 64 Audio U12 it is a kick ass IEM.
