nube Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Elysium (7.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 3 Stars (107.54dB composite)Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz)Dynamics - 5 Stars (28.75dB)Execution - 5 Stars (by poll) Overall - 4.5 StarsRecommendation - Buy (by poll) Notes: Another great release for fans of bass in movies! People who said Elysium was lacking for bass either have ported subs, terrible response that humps around 30-50Hz in their rooms, or they're deaf. Or they lack a pulse. Elysium is a monster, but it doesn't have any loud peaks above 22Hz, and the bass content levels are only average for an action film (about 5dB lower RMS than Oblivion, but with much better extension). Elysium has an absolute truckload of content below 30Hz. In fact, all the heaviest scenes are from 10-22Hz, but there's plenty from 5-10Hz, too. The movie is only average at best, but the sound mix makes it exceptional. Great use of surrounds with essentially no clipping outside of a couple of spaceship engine effects that seemed intentional. This one's got the goods. I'd say it needs a place in your library, and if its not loud enough or bassy enough, either turn it up or get better subs!
