Loved their subwoofer tech for well over a decade. Built a sub using their components years ago and eventually purchased this model. A secret subwoofer company that sells magic.
This is amazing. I never knew that this existed. Thank you for explaining how it works!
I would have never bought the fv15hp if it wasn’t for you Z! Thank you! The dual vented 15s is next on my list
10:51 hoooooly crap. :D That was amazing. Haha. Love it. Also your mic setup is intense. Really cool setup.
fuck, I played the same track on my KRK Rokit 5s, turned the volume up... and that superlow end was simply not played. A soft, quiet, "tump tump tump". very quiet, so gentle that I could barely feel it touching the cones with my fingers. that sub would have broken my fingers.
Finally. After years. Got two l12s. Blessed
Holy crap, i had a real wtf moment right now. Your mic setup made it sound like you were walking around behind my back.
Its fascinating what stereo can do to the brain.
+Richard L (rier90) 7:28 very weird and very awesome
+Richard L (rier90) If only it made it sound like I was walking around in front of you.. I may have to do some positional/angular tests to get this more accurate.
dolby astmos... wowwwwwwwww
OMFG my whole house was shaking in that Edge of Tomorrow scene you played haha
10:40 - Oh the sweet, sweet 26 Hz coming out perfectly. You can hear EVERYTHING very clearly.
Thanks for your review , I come around this rhythmic audio , after my SVS sub sledge amp failed after a year of service , looking for alternate amp, and came to know this servo technology new term, got to hear this name earlier inhydraulics now in Subwoofer displacement control.
You sounds like "TONY STARK" 😂
You are awesome.... thanks for sharing such nice reviews.
Edge of tommorow intro ftw!! The bass in that segment of the film is completely ridiculous. My pb 1000 was blowing some serious air.
I have the FV15HP and i freaking love it!!. they make incredible subwoofers.
I just got one
@@edithboozy1000 did you get the HP2? How did you like it?
@@LichaelMewis Got the fv15hp
@@LichaelMewis Its awesome. Cant wait to get a second
@@edithboozy1000 Just watch your ears. You don't want that dreaded ringing. I got it 10 years ago- and it is still ringing...
ascend acoustics sells these subs as well, at a discount if u buy their speakers
And then they made the FV18...any chance you have plans to review that or the F18?
I use the Line in on my FV15HP, lower noise floor and just overall better and cleaner bass with a 2db bump without touching the gain at all. check with measurements in REW. go over to AvsForum and look at the Rythmik Audio thread if you ever keep this sub. i also have an Minidsp 2x4 which gives me an insane amount of control of what's going on especially when used along with REW - Room EQ Wizard.
5:03 - LPF meaning low-pass, as in the lows get past. Therefore it's how fast the sub rolls in at the crossover freq. 12dB vs 24dB depends on a number of factors, probably want to use 24dB at higher crossover freqs (~80Hz). Might also depend on your speakers too; If they're big, you'll be crossing over lower and the speakers will roll-off a bit slower, therefore maybe 12dB makes sense.
Very excellent and entertaining reviews. A step above the rest for sure.
I just recently came across you while researching new subwoofers. My final 2 picks were between the rythmik fv15hp and monolith 15.
(Although the fx15 you have looks amazing as well.)
I'm torn between the two. My gut says Rythmik which I can order now and the other is out of stock until 2/25.
Your videos of each make me want them both 🤯
What did you end up buying- happy? Rythmik all the way for sure.
Just bought a Rythmik FV15HP... .holy.... piss... fun clean bass for HT use.. exactly what I wanted.
Now that you have heard many other subwoofers....how does this stand up and compare?
what doesnt make any sense anymore is how even your recording of that was making my little 6" klipsch media THX sub rattle the crap out of my computer room LOL
Really going to need you to review Rythmik's 18" Sub!
that is an awesome sub-woofer. keep up the good work.
sealed or ported for music listening? I've heard sealed can be fatiguing. I like accuracy... but i like my speakers 40hz bass...they're ported....
ANSWER ME!
Love Rhythmik-- I'm very happy with their L12. Hey Zeos, any chance you'll review of a common speaker paired with these, Ascend's Sierra 2 with RAAL ribbon tweeter? (Ascend is a distributor of Rhytmik)
+Doug Mercer I haven't contacted them and I don't plan on buying anything from them right now. But there is always a chance.
The F12 is even better. If the driver goes, replace it with the alum. one.
and may I ask is atmos really means sound fantastic as compared to a standard 7.1 DTS master audio ?
The Phase delay is meant to set your sub to the same phase as your speakers.
If the phase is reversed, they cancel out the bass from your other speakers/subs. If they match, they amplify.
How does this sub compare to Power Sound Audio's similar offerings in terms of output and sound quality?
Which sub did you like for sound wise: Rythmik FVX15 or the PSA Audio S1500?
What kind of sub should you be looking at if you don't want the bottles on your bar to shake and rattle? Or do you just turn down the settings on the sub?
You gotta love the badass sub!!!
How noteworthy is the servo in allowing for tight and controlled bass? How does it perform relative to upper-tier sealed subs that are reviewed as "musical"?
Pretty good.
What song is that that plays at 15:54? I guess you used the same song for BIC F12 subwoofer review, if I am not wrong?
I just realized that's a Volvo seat... damn fine seats
Bic America bookshelf fh 65b is what I have but I don't like the horn tweeter love the bass . I'm trying to decide whether to keep them or get the fluance signatures love the clarity of the fluance
I just bought the FVX12....for a 20x18 9 foot ceiling...klipsch 8000ii tower and Sony 5000es hope I didn't get to small?
Mr Z, the LOWEST Hz for fv15hp is how many Hz exactly?????
Love this guy's reviews! Sounds just like Philip Seymour Hoffman doing sub reviews! Please do some sealed. SVS sb 13 ultra would be great.
+dustingaldeano That is what is in here right now.
Just a question. Why do you have it facing the wall? I've never noticed you do that before.
Have question I have fv18 and I’m running it with pioneer LX105 7.1 receiver just love to know can I add a app with the receiver
Do you recommend your own Martin Logan's Dynamo subs for duals?
Have you taken measurements Subwoofer with room eq wizard for example? .Using translator.
Greetings from Spain.
You have that mad scientist enthusiasm that is really fun. Nice vid.
* Runs away to try that part of Edge of Tomorrow on my system *
Oh, and I can't get that sub...my rental house is too old and I will shake it to pieces.
+Grevlain What part of Edge of Tomorrow?
+Mikkel A.G. Nielsen the beginning I think
Love your reviews! This review is the reason I bought a pair of Rythmik FV15HPs for my home theater. Its flat out silly. Keep up the good work Z.
I'm thinking of buying a pair of these as well. If you don't mind, what is the size of your room?
man....I just want to say...you have the best real( for lack of a better description) review of any one I have ever seen/seen. great shit and I hope you piss off your neighbor's. lol
Thoughts on f12-300 seems like the best option for two channel set up with subwoofer out where lfe isnt needed (not that it's ever really needed). I'd like you to use the patreon to review ;) I'm thinking of pairing with jamo c91s ran by a sprout100.
Great channel man. What mic did you record this with? I watched last night with crappy ear pods and I thought someone was in my house at 3am. Shat myself. But great stereo sound- of you just walking/ talking around your apartment. Better than any other channel I’ve heard.
What software do you use to play th movie scenes with? Also, what would be a good step down in size for rhythmic?
Thanks!
MPC-HC and a 12" rythmik
Gezus feels like i'm in the room with you testing my new Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro's off my soundblaster z cant wait to get my new dac/amp gonna use this video as reference
Hahaha, edge of tomorrow totally makes that sub twerk harder than any human ever could.
FV25HP VS SVS PB-16? which one do you think is better? i do music as much as do movies.
mendez77054ify FV25HP
The title on their site doesn't even work anymore due to an unsupported plugin. They haven’t even bothered to fix it in years. PERFECT LOL
when will you review their new 18? I really like your reviews which sounds like a lot of people do, I like the new ultra 16 but for 2500 I'd rather have 2 for 1 in the first place and if the rythmik 15 impressed u, im ready to go buy the 18 cause I,ve been waiting to upgrade and will do so soon from dual 13.2s in a sealed enclosure to the new rythmik now instead of the psa, which they sounded a little arrogant to talk to but I don't know everything so if u would please take a look at there 18 please and thank you for some good info on your site!
how would you compare this sub to the paradigm servo 15 v1?
OK, let say I get a standard 9.2. receiver, adding 4 onto the ceiling, (NOT ATMOS AVR) , can I actually get the same result as the true atmos AVR?
No. The atmos AVR's are extracting audio either from proprietary tracks or though a demuxing process. So you could never match what actually comes out without that processing.
I'm 6 years late but rythmik fv18 or svs pb16 ultra? 🤔👀
Damn. I just made inquiry on an SVS PB1000. And now you’ve reminded me of the Rythmik F/G12 options again. For my stereo system. Damn. Darn. Ding dong is that delivery already? I’ve got to figure this out.
The most single guy living room in history. LOL
Hello😊, small question...Is klipsch spl-150 subwoofer better than Rythmik fv15hp sub..??? 🤔🙄😌
Thanks for this, I'll be building a pair of these from Rythmik's kits.
How did the build go?
@@UTAH100 Woah! Damnear scared me.. 😅 Wow, 6yrs.
Build(s) went good, yes there were 2 types-sealed & (variable) ported. And actually, I built a pair of each. Sealed pair was cheating though really.. They're made of an old 22"w all maple 18mm veneer, 5' h cylinder that I just cut in half, braced & capped on both ends of the now 2-30"h subs.
The ported pair were built borrowing another build I found a link to (this thread iirc) that I modified to suit my space/decor needs. I'll post a couple pics .. (soonz I can figger howzta..) The Saloon ain't-a- resemblin' nuthin' I rekon from 2016.. 😳😂
@@L.A.W.Studios For music only, tight, clean bass which sub do you recommend and 8, 10 or 12, sealed or unsealed? Their F12 Rythmik looks pretty sweet. Their pricier subs use class A/B power. The value F12 for $869 uses Class D. Far more efficient that I like. I don't think I would hear a difference. Maybe on a chart A/B is musically better but not by much but you are the expert. What do you think?
Try the FV15HP.. its a higher output model.. I think its 5.5 db louder than the one you tested at 20hz
Will you test out the Elac s12eq subwoofer? It has built in dsp with app control and room eq.
+iDura89 If they send me one.
Love the reviews and subs most of all.i have a M&k thx 350 dual sub in a push pull design.i would like to know what is the best sub you have tested.i would like to buy or build a awesome sub.possibly with a re 15" speaker.do you have any input.there are not a lot of diy home theater sub builds to get info for.lots of car audio stuff but not much home theater.
Awesome review! Thanks.
Can you do a review on ATH M70x??
How does this stack against the PB16 Ultra? Or Have you heard the Rythmik FV18v
Can you use a small DAC like a Scarlett with a sub like this or do you need a HT receiver?
EDIT: I should clarify, I use a Scarlett 2i2 to my Behringer A500 to my JBL Studio 530s. How would I go about incorporating a sub into this setup? Sorry in advance for the noobie question.
You would have to split the output on the scarlett. Just send TS down to RCA for this sub.
Thanks again for your help.
Can you plzzzz make a review of the Rythmik L22. Rellay dont know if i do buy 2 of the FVX15 or L22 ??? Plz decide for me
I'd prefer 2 fvx15s. The L22 will do everything you want but there's only one reason I prefer a 2 sub set up. I own the e15hp2 and I can feel the direction the sound is coming from and it makes me want to have another on the other side. =)
your very precise,i can respect that although i cant ever tell if your mad about the product or just really serious
Why So Serious...
Ohhhh I wanted one of their subs.
I was going to put this on a different video but whatevers. Would you recommend getting 2 dayton sub 1000's or one dayton sub 1200? I mainly listen to music, thanks in advance. Also my receiver is the yamaha rs-201 if that helps.
+BakedThePotato I always like two smaller subs over one big one. So dual 10's it is.
Do you think it sounds better than any Klipsch subwoofers
Knowing what you know now is the svs pb 13 ultra PC 4000 a better sub or is it time to do another rythmic review? You've done several svs reviews since.
I wondered the same thing...but I assume since he still owns the Rythmik after reviewing the competition...it must be his favorite sub.
Hello Z, after watching this video I am now not sure what to get the SVS PB 2000 or the Rythmik LVX 12. I have read many reviews but the diference is that you have had the opportunity to listen to them. Just wich one would you go for. I mostly listen to movies. Thanks. Ready to pull trigger, literately waiting on your take. Thanks
What did you get?
can anyone here including you, dude, can you please tell me what is the difference between the fvx15 vs the fv15? I am. sure the fvX15 does have different with the fv15, which is best?
One has a 400 amp the other 600
Question. do you think it's OK to mix and match sealed and ported speakers?
+Psycho Kill I tried with the PSA subs I had and I didn't really like the result. I think it is better to match them as closely as possible and separate them accordingly.
For 200.00 more what was that and are they better then the F25
Have you ever tested/reviewed Bag End subwoofers?
Hilarious review - everything lit up and the 13:34 OOOHHHHH was priceless .
I may have to purchase one of these OOOHHHH makers .
P.S have watched this about 10 times now sorry if this messes with your review counts .
So which one is better the rythmik or the SVS?
hi dude, as this is a ported Sub, may I ask if this is great for movies? or only best for music? I am more on movies especially horror movies
Movies are great on it.
Great Video !! I Know The Neighbors Have Called 911 Several Times And Have Reported To The Leasing Office About Your Apt.# 1397 West On Several Occasions , Due To That Last Episode On Television With Gunfire. Love All Your Creativity And The Love Of Your Technical And Musical Expertise . Your Experience And Knowledge Of Sub Woofers Amazes Me !! Thanks !! ❤❤❤❤
dude, may I have your guidance, please. May I ask is the subwoofer speaker level input IMPORTANT or not. Because I was thinking of buying pair of subwoofer, but the subwoofer itself does not have the speakers level input, it's actually doesn't matter, or actually is a serious problem?
Also, the subwoofer itself don't have auto switch on/off button. Does it worse or actually not a problem too?
The on off will usually have an AUTO .. The speaker level passthroughs don't need to be there if you have a real 5.1 receiver. Just hook it up single RCA. If you want a pair. Just split the RCA from the subwoofer out.
PSA doesn't offer any measurements of their subs even if you ask them. They will say go buy from someone else. What does that tell you?
Zeos, much appreciated. I know you own this sub, but between this and the PSA V1500, which do you think is more capable? My room is about 2500 feet, so a bit bigger than yours.
The SPL on the PSA is greater. Might do better with that or the higher power rythmik.
Z Reviews thanks for the reply! The V1500 is around the price of the FV15, but the higher power FV15HP wants to take a significantly harder bite out of my wallet...
surprising they don't make a FVX12, right? OK, so 400W FVX15 or 600W sealed E15HP for a little bit more. I kinda like the compact sealed which still has 14Hz -3dB.
you get what I mean? what is mean is, if I get a normal standards 9.1 or 9.2 AVR, 1 center, 2 front, 2 back, another 4 back surround speskers I install up my celling, would it's actually sound the same SOUND EFFECTS same like the atmos AVR supposed will sound? OR, a standard 7.1 or 9.1 AVR will never ever performance for it's SOUND EFFECTS like the atmos AVR sound, no matter how many speakers I install up my celling? I am so very confuse, should I just get a normal standards 9.2 AVR will do, or should I really get an true atmos AVR.. it's gonna cost a big bomb if I need to get a great quality denon AVR-X7200W atmos AVR with rythmik FV15HP and not forgetting I still need 9 speakers..
Yes the speakers are good.
Z have you reviewed the new fluance signature HiFi bookshelf speaker I'm trying to decide.
+Shawn Drew I have not. I am pretty sure it competes in the price bracket. What have you put it against?
You should try other positions for the sub. Beside the seat f.e. Also you should try different positions for the ports/membrane to exhale to. In a corner it's always not the best position exept you have a Klipschorn wich has to be in a corner to work properly.
Is it ok to stuff, say the F12 sub under my entertainment center- slightly right of the middle of the TV? It would wedge in very tightly or is it better to free stand it? I have very limited options due to small space.
@@UTAH100 You don't have to position the sub right in the middle. I would say any position between the main speakers will sound very similar.
@@djambush360 If it matters, it is a sealed sub- REL HT/1205. Facing the TV, to the immediate right is a wall. Center is an entertainment center- I could try to squeeze it under it (tight fit.) I have space to the left of the entertainment center which is a few feet to the left of the TV but this is more of an open area. The living room goes into the hall and kitchen.
Also, do I need a MiniDSP for a single sub and does it stay connected at all times? Some suggested you only need it for multiple subs. The 1205 does not have onboard DSP. Good news is I am not too picky and I listen low volumes. I just want to nicely round out the bottom end and hear some nice base lines.
Thanks!
Hi, I bought a 10" subwoofer recently and when I play it at medium-high levels it starts to rattle . I unscrewed the back (its a powered one) and looked for something loose inside, which i couldn't find. I screwed the back, back in it's place making sure the bolts were screwed in properly and the sub still rattles :(. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with it? I should add that i bought it used.
It might be the driver itself if it is blown. Hard to judge via youtube comment.
Hmm, the noise is pretty subtle and relatively high pitched, so I don't think it's the driver but I'm no expert :p. I guess it's indeed hard to judge when you can't hear nor see the sub :D Thanks for the comment, appreciate it. Mayby I'll just take it to a guy that knows more about audio than me.
Reminds me of my Paradigm 15" v2 servo sub. I think Mines 1500 watts, can't remember.
what is the difference between subwoofers and bass shakers? are the shakers used in cinemas?
+TheNyanCatReborn Shakers shake things which is hard for small subs to do. This doesn't have that issue. What shakers DONT do is actually create usable sound for reinforcement of speakers. They just shake.
Hello Friend!
good video. Tell me please, do you have neighbors? How do they relate to your acoustics? Do you have any problems?
dude, and all guys here, may I ask, if the Dolby Atmos really sound guarantee amazing as compare to all our standard 7.1 surround sound amplifier?
No guarentee's in this world.
Kinda odd for frequently used controls (music vs HT) to be on the rear w/o a remote. Is it annoying to have the sub turned around, ports towards the wall?
There really is hardly any difference which way it is facing. Also protects the surround / driver from sharp claws and drunk people.
Thanks for following up.
Insane.
I love this video.... I'm listening to this with the stereo in my semi... Polk DB series speakers all around with 2 Kicker Comp 12 inch subs on the top bunk... Wooooof... My clothes move around on my body.... 🤣
What do you think about F-25
Hey man, awesome review! Any chance of a similar Rythmik L22 review??
+Paul Johnsson If they send me one.
great review though I use a car sub,,love how you have the car seat in ya' living room,,I've done the same thing...th@ is nice,
Rythmik audio, shitty web site, great subs
