New Sony FX30 Cinema Mirrorless Camera with APS-C sensor

2022-09-28

09/28/2022 / Konstantin Birzhakov

tweet

Company Sony introduced
a new mirrorless camera of the Cinema line – Sony FX30 . New
can be called the junior model FX3,
presented about a year and a half ago, since it is equipped with almost such
same body, but not with a full-frame sensor, but with a new APS-C format sensor.
The camera has a resolution of 26 MP in photo mode 3:2, 6192×4128 and 20.1 MB when shooting
video – Super 35 mm, 16:9, 3840 × 2160 pixels. The manufacturer positions the FX30
first of all as a video camera, and only secondly as a camera for shooting
photos, according to the company’s idea, it is designed for bloggers and beginners
operators. The declared price is $1800 per case.

Sony FX30 Mirrorless Camera

Since the Sony FX30 is a camcorder, it makes sense to immediately name the shooting modes –
resolution up to 4K60p, 3840×2160 pixels in All-I / Long GOP h.264/265 codec 10
bit 4:2:2. 4K resolution is resampled to 6K resolution from the whole area
Back-illuminated EXMOR R CMOS sensors for clearer images
4K. There are also cropped modes 1.6x – 4K120p, in Full HD resolution camera
shoots up to 240p.

Sony FX30

The Sony FX30 camera offers several software solutions designed
especially for content creators, for example, these are 16 user presets
LUTs that can be displayed on both the camera’s LCD monitor and HDMI output.

There are also 3 different AE shooting modes designed for
shooting video, not photos.

  • ISO best value – this mode speaks for itself,
    the camera tries to control the sensitivity as flexibly as possible
  • Cine EI – the mode is inherited from older models FX6 or FX9,
    it works with a fixed base ISO
  • Cine EI Quick – automatic mode with base ISO,
    it is designed for experimentation with Cine EI.

Sony calls dynamic range 14+ stops when using profiles
S-Log 3 and ISO sensitivity ranging from 100 to 32000.

Sony FX30

Autofocus in the FX30 uses 90% of the sensor area and 496 focus points,
real-time eye AF for people, animals and
birds, as well as tracking the object in real time. Also works useful
Focus Assist function, which ensures smooth switching between
autofocus and manual focus. For shooting video, the mode will be important.
reduce focus breathing.

Of course, matrix image stabilization (IBIS) works. According to
company, in the “active” mode there will be a slight cropping of the picture, while in
In standard mode, there will be no cropping.

Camera with battery and memory card weighs 646g, body only 562g,
case has exactly the same mounting holes as in the FX3, so it will be possible to
use the same accessories such as rigs (cages) with both
cameras, which is very convenient.

Many do not like the menu system in Sony cameras, precisely at the request of such people
the menu has been rewritten, the company claims that the menu has become simpler and clearer. For example,
when shooting a video, auxiliary information will be located around the picture,
not on top. I can say that the autofocus frame is important on top of the picture, and down
you can safely remove the audiometer and exposure parameters, and without fail
need a bold red border while recording.

Sony FX30 – two universal card slots

Sony FX30 key specifications

Compared to the FX3, the camera has no mechanical shutter, no continuous
photography, no uncompressed RAW, the camera is not compatible with an external flash, what else
times confirms that the FX30 is designed primarily for shooting video, where
these functions are useless.

Refurbished iPad 2023 – What to look for

Do you want to buy an iPad but feel a bit overwhelmed by the selection? No problem, we put together a list of the best refurbished iPads for you, which will not only impress you with their performance but also with their low price. 

In general, you should think about what you want to do with the iPad before purchasing: is it more for personal use or do you also want to do a lot of your work with it? 

Which size is sufficient for you: 9.7″, 10.5″, 11″ or 12.9″? If you’re not sure, and you can’t go to a shop right now, use this simple trick: cut out the different sizes from a cardboard box and hold them in your hand one by one. Which one feels good? Which one fits in your bag?

How much memory do you need on an iPad? Most new models offer different memory sizes: 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB. Note: not all models offer all storage sizes. If you’re more into surfing and streaming series, you won’t need more than 64GB. But if you use larger applications or edit films, you shouldn’t buy an iPad with less than 256 GB. Otherwise, you’ll quickly reach the limits of your iPad’s storage. 

Now that you know what to look out for, let’s dive into our top 4 refurbished iPads of 2023!

#1: The iPad 6 (2018)

The 2018 iPad 9.7″ is the 6th generation of the classic iPad range. Up until this model, users could only use the Apple Pencil on the Pro version, but it is now finally possible on the standard iPad model. The Apple Pencil gives you more versatility for different tasks like graphic design, taking handwritten notes and easily jumping back and forth between apps. The Retina display has a resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, giving you a clear, bright and vibrant display.

How much is a refurbished iPad 6? At the time of writing this, you can buy the 6th generation iPad from 2018 starting around $120 and save more than 50% compared to the original price. Prices vary depending on the condition and storage capacity (32 and 128 GB). Note: The Apple Pen is not included and must be purchased separately.

Conclusion: With the iPad 6 you get a practical and handy iPad that is still supported by iOS software updates for about another year. For private use and as an entry-level model or for online teaching, the iPad 6 with its 9.7″ screen is absolutely a great buy.

#2: The iPad 7

Now let’s move on to the 2019 iPad 7, which marks the 7th generation. Starting in 2019, Apple began making the iPad slightly larger. So instead of 9.7″, the iPad 7 has a screen size of 10.2″. The touch button is still there, so you’ll have the original iPad vibe. The battery lasts just under 13 hours when playing back video with an average brightness.

Some users find the thick edges a bit old-fashioned, but the aesthetic is just fine in our opinion. If you are a fan of the iPhone 8 or iPhone SE 2020, you will also be happy with the iPad 7. If you want a bezel-less design, you have to go in the direction of the iPad Air or iPad Pro. The current cost of an iPad 7 refurbished with 32 GB of memory starts around $184 – depending on the condition and color availability. 

Conclusion: If you don’t own an iPad yet and 9.7″ is a little too small for you, then the 7th generation iPad is the perfect model for you. The low price and A10 chip, which is also in the iPhone 7, still allows you to run your applications smoothly in 2023 at a reasonable cost.

#3: The iPad Air 3

Between the iPad Air 3 and its predecessor lie a proud 5 years, in which a lot has happened in the iPad world. Many iPad fans complained that the gap between the Pro and the normal iPad had become too wide. Apple finally closed it in 2019 with the introduction of the iPad Air 3. Its display size grew from 9.7 to 10.5″ and yet did not lose its elegant and slim design. Inside is the A12 processor from the iPhone XS, which is plenty fast for most users.

The iPad Air supports the more powerful Bluetooth 5.0, whereas the standard iPad only supports version 4.2. Another advantage that the Air has over the normal iPad is that the display has an anti-reflective coating and thus reflects less in bright light. In addition, the iPad Air 3 scores with True Tone technology: this means that the screen display adjusts automatically to ambient light.

Conclusion: The iPad Air 3 is simply a great iPad – light, slim and full of power. For all those who want something more than just surfing, this is a great option to experience some of Apple’s newer age technology without breaking the bank.

#4 The iPad Pro 3

The iPad Pro 12.9″ is now in its 5th generation, and is updated almost annually by Apple. Our recommendation, looking at the price-performance ratio, is the iPad Pro 3, which was launched at the end of 2018.

What are the differences between the iPad Pro 3 and iPad Pro 4? There have been some improvements, like the increase to 6 GB of RAM or the use of the A12Z Bionic processor, but honestly, the 3rd generation A12X Bionic processor will run all your apps just as fast and you won’t notice a difference in everyday use. Both models have 1 TB storage options and both are equipped with the Retina Display. The 2nd generation Apple Pen is also compatible with both generations. The refurbished 3rd generation iPad Pro with 64 GB is currently priced starting at $465 on Back Market – in other words, you can save around 30% compared to a new device. 

Conclusion: Are you looking for a refurbished iPad Pro that can handle all your needs and is the size of a laptop? Then you’ll be very well served by the 2018 12.9” iPad Pro 3 with purchase options under $500.

Choosing the right iPad for you

Which refurbished iPad should you buy? Hopefully we’ve helped you make your decision a little easier, and we’re glad that you are considering buying a second-hand tablet. Most Apple iPads are probably going to serve you well unless you need it for more extensive work or projects that require heavy processing speeds. But rest assured, you’ll be able to save a good bit of money by buying refurbished without sacrificing the performance you expect from a new tablet.

If you’re still not sure, the best thing to do is to go through the questions from the first paragraph again and write down exactly what you want from a tablet to help narrow down your options. Have fun with your new-ish tablet 🙂

Refurbished iPads: Where and why to buy

Home / iPad / Feature

Feature

Looking to buy an iPad from Apple? Make sure you consider the Refurbished Store too. Here’s why.

By Somrata Sarkar

Senior Staff Writer, Macworld MAY 20, 2022 9:35 am PDT

Apple’s current tablet line-up includes the iPad mini, iPad (9th and 19th gen), iPad Air and 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros, all of which have multiple generations of predecessors. With so many options, the refurbished iPad market has expanded, too.

But which is the best way to buy an iPad: new, pre-owned, or refurbished? And what’s the difference? In this article, let’s walk through your options and point to some of the best refurbished iPad deals around.

What does ‘refurbished’ mean?

Refurbished or reconditioned Apple products are pre-owned/second-hand devices. But they have been rigorously tested and repaired to work just like new.

In contrast, buying an iPad that is pre-owned but not refurbished–from eBay or GumTree, for example–means you’re buying the device “as is,” with no post-purchase protection, which makes it slightly riskier if you don’t know the seller. If the previous owner has forgotten to dissociate their Apple ID from the device, you may potentially be locked out from the device. Apple’s customer service won’t be able to help you unlock it without the original Apple ID details because of their strict security policies.

To avoid such troubles, buying refurbished is a nice halfway house between new and second-hand.

If the device is factory refurbished or certified refurbished, as in the case if you buy an Apple-certified refurbished iPad, you can be confident the quality and reliability will match a new device–yet you will make a decent saving. Prices are up to 15 percent cheaper at the Refurbished Store (and UK Refurbished Store) compared to the standard Apple store.

Apple refurbished products undergo a rigorous cleaning, testing, and repairs process. Parts that don’t work or are damaged are replaced so that the final product works just like new.

Some of the pre-owned iPads at the Apple Refurbished Store may have been used only once. Perhaps it’s a unit that was loaned to a journalist, or it was returned promptly by a customer who decided they wanted a different model, or maybe there was a minor fault with it, but Apple has now rectified this as part of the refurbishment process.

What’s the difference between a refurbished iPad vs a brand-new iPad?

If you buy a refurbished iPad from Apple, you’ll get the same one-year warranty as if you bought a brand-new iPad, all of the manuals and accessories that come with a new iPad, a brand new battery and outer shell and a new white box for it, too.

The new box is not the same as the box you would get if you purchased a new iPad, and we assume this is to prevent people from buying a refurbished iPad and attempting to sell it as new. However, we think you’ll struggle to spot anything different about the contents of that box.

Apple promises that all refurbished iPads it sells are in full working condition, and they have each been fully tested to ensure this. Any parts that were defective when the iPad was returned by its previous owner will have been replaced, and the entire iPad will have been cleaned and inspected to make sure it’s in top-notch condition.

If you’d prefer to have a longer warranty than the one-year version that’s included, you can buy AppleCare+ for your refurbished iPad. AppleCare+ extends your warranty to two years and allows additional technical support, 24/7 access to Apple experts, and hardware coverage for up to two accidental damage incidents. Each damage claim will cost an additional $49/£39, though.

What iPad models can I buy from Apple’s Refurbished store?

The products in Apple’s Refurbished Store can change quite frequently, so you’ll want to check back regularly if the particular product you’re after isn’t available. Stock may vary depending on whether you’re buying from the US or the UK, too.

At the time of writing, we can see the following offers on the US Refurbished Store. Note that these are all previous-generation models.

  • Up to $90 off the iPad (8th gen)
  • Up to $100 off the iPad mini (5th gen)
  • Up to $120 off the iPad Air (4th gen)
  • Up to $190 off the iPad Pro 11in (2020)
  • Up to $300 off the iPad Pro 12.9in (2020)

While the following bargains can be found on the UK Refurbished Store:

  • Up to £90 off the iPad (8th gen)
  • Up to £100 off the iPad mini (5th gen)
  • Up to £120 off the iPad Air (4th gen)
  • Up to £200 off the iPad Pro 11in (2020)
  • Up to £290 off the iPad Pro 12.9in (2020)

Should I buy a refurbished iPad?

It’s absolutely worth considering buying a refurbished iPad. Even if you don’t buy it directly from Apple, there are plenty of other retailers offering refurbished iPads that are worth checking out. If you’re happy with an older generation of iPad, you may find you can get a bigger capacity model or a Wi-Fi + Cellular model for less money.

There are just a few things to keep in mind before your purchase, especially if you do opt for a third-party reseller.

First off, look at the refurbished grade. Often you’ll see this noted as Grade A, Grade B, or Grade C. As you’ve guessed, this correlates with the condition of the device. It’s not an exact science, as each retailer will have its own standards for each grade, but it generally indicates what to expect (especially if you’re buying online).

Grade A refurbished devices should look just like new or have very, very faint signs of use. Meanwhile, Grade B devices may have minor scratches or wear, while Grade C devices will show obvious signs of wear.

Second, ensure the refurbished iPad comes with a warranty. This shouldn’t be too difficult as most resellers will offer coverage for at least one year. A warranty allows you to get repairs and other technical help should the device have any issues.

Pros and cons of buying a refurbished iPad

Pros

  • Significantly cheaper than buying new
  • Includes after purchase warranty services (vs simply buying second-hand)
  • Some retailers, including Decluttr in the US and Music Magpie and Handtec in the UK, offer money-back returns within 14 days; Back Market offers a 30-day return policy

Cons

  • Being an older iPad generation will mean that it will be less capable than current models, but the thing most likely to make a difference to you is if it has inadequate storage. We suggest you steer clear of any iPad with less than 64GB storage as this simply won’t be enough, unfortunately many refurbished iPads have a paltry 32GB or even 16GB storage.
  • Refurbish quality can vary from retailer to retailer
  • Might be difficult to get additional tech support after the warranty expires
  • Resale value of a refurbished device won’t be very high if you want to sell the iPad later

Best places to buy refurbished iPads

While the Apple Refurbished Store is an excellent place to buy a reconditioned iPad, you may find stock is limited; and in some cases, other retailers offer newer models second-hand or refurbished at better prices too. Here are a few retailers worth checking out (in alphabetical order):

  • Amazon: Amazon has a rigorous refurbishing process (see Tech Advisor’s explainer) which ensures that devices look and work just like new. Most importantly, all devices from Amazon Renewed are backed with a one-year guarantee, which means you can get a refund or replacement within a year of receiving the iPad.
  • Back Market: There are some big discounts here. The site says its mission is “to build trust and desire for renewed devices.”
  • Best Buy: It’s important to check the grade of pre-owned iPads on Best Buy; some are certified by the site’s Geek Squad subsidiary and others aren’t. You can lower the price by trading in your old device.
  • Decluttr: This is the US version of MusicMagpie, an excellent destination for refurbished tech. Not only does it often have competitive prices, you can also reduce prices further by trading in your old tech, books, CDs, and other media.
  • Mac Of All Trades: Despite the name, this site has iPads, too. And you can sell used Apple products to make a little money.

UK readers should try the following retailers:

  • Amazon: As on the US site, Amazon’s refurbished devices look and work like new and are backed with a one-year guarantee.
  • MusicMagpie: A great place to pick up refurbished tech, with competitive prices and the option to trade in your old stuff.
  • The iOutlet: The iOutlet is similar to MusicMagpie: you can trade-in your old gadgets such as gaming consoles, phones, tablets, or watches to earn cash towards other purchases. You may not find the absolute latest iPad models, but the iOutlet has an extensive range of Apple products and prices that are pretty much on par with MusicMagpie.
  • Envirofone: Envirofone also buys your old phones and tech, including damaged devices. If you choose to get paid in Envirofone credits called “Envirocash“, you can get an extra 12 percent back to spend towards a refurbished device.
  • Hoxton Macs: Despite the name, Hoxton Macs also sells refurbished iPads at good prices.

We’d also suggest checking out the following refurbished retailers:

  • 4Gadgets
  • Affordable Mac
  • Big Phone Store
  • eBay
  • Gumtree
  • Handtec
  • Laptops Direct
  • Preloved
  • Smartfone Store

    How to distinguish a refurbished iPhone from the original in 2023

    Technology

    And what is it all about

    Maria Gercke

    figured out the issue

    It’s better to buy a refurbished iPhone than a used one.

    Refurbished, or refurbished, are iPhones that you bought, returned to the store, and then put up for sale again at a discount.

    They are inspected, repaired, cleaned and tested for function before they are returned to the market. The recovery program most often includes smartphones with non-critical malfunctions, display cases, and fully functional iPhones that customers returned to the store for one reason or another.

    Refurbished and used iPhones are two different things. In the first case, it is assumed that the device does not differ in performance from a new one, and its components have been tested and repaired before being resold. In the second case, we are talking about an iPhone that is being resold in the same condition it was in by the previous owner: most likely, no one has repaired, tested or cleaned it.

    What kind of refurbished iPhones are

    Refurbished iPhones can be divided into three categories.

    iPhones officially refurbished by the manufacturer. These are devices refurbished by Apple itself, in English they are called Manufacturer Refurbished or Certified Refurbished.

    Apple accepts for restoration iPhones that were returned to stores shortly after purchase, for example, the buyer changed his mind, who found some non-critical defects – warranty cases – or who passed the trade-in program. Heavily worn phones with serious breakdowns are not included in the recovery program, but are sent immediately for recycling.

    The recovery process takes place at the Apple factory and consists of several stages. First, the company’s employees diagnose the iPhone and identify problems in its operation. After that, all defective components are replaced with new ones. The restored device is thoroughly cleaned, its case and battery are changed without fail, and then it is sent for detailed testing – the same that all Apple equipment undergoes.

    We bought refurbished smartphones in China

    If the testing is successful, Apple specialists assign a fresh serial number to the smartphone, pack it in a new box with the entire set of accessories, and ship it for sale at a discount of up to 15%. It is important to note that they are not trying to pass off such an iPhone as a new one: the appearance of the box differs from the usual one and it has a special marking – Apple Certified Pre-Owned. The rest of the iPhone is positioned “as new”.

    iPhones refurbished by sellers. These are devices refurbished from masters who have nothing to do with Apple – in English Seller Refurbished. For example, Amazon has an Amazon Renewed division that sells equipment that was restored by their own contractors.

    So what? 10/07/21

    Apple announced prices and start date for Apple Watch Series 7

    If Apple always restores iPhones to “like new” condition, then in the case of unofficial restoration, each seller decides for himself what quality bar to set. The same Amazon Renewed immediately warns that their equipment may have minor scratches and dents, boxes and accessories may not be original, and the battery capacity will not be full, but not lower than 80%.

    Amazon Renewed home page. Source: amazon.com

    Sellers can classify refurbished iPhones into different categories, such as appearance. In the “ideal” category, there will be fully functional iPhones with a body without visible defects. The “good” category includes devices with minor external damage: small scratches or scuffs. The “satisfactory” category includes iPhones with noticeable external defects, but which will also function normally. The lower the category, the greater the discount.

    The procedure for restoring iPhones may differ significantly from that adopted by Apple. For example, craftsmen may not change defective parts, but simply repair them. If some components are still changed, then it is not a fact that they will turn out to be original. Health testing criteria are also different for everyone, and often they are much less stringent than Apple’s.

    Seller Refurbished appliances are a very common occurrence in the American market. There are marketplaces in the USA that restore equipment and then resell it at a big discount. In order not to lose customers, they try to keep the bar of quality and always provide a guarantee for their devices.

    Handicraft restored iPhones. These may include counterfeit devices that are sold as new. There are unscrupulous companies on the market that buy broken or drowned phones, disassemble them into components and reassemble them into more or less working devices.

    These iPhones are packaged in boxes very similar to the original ones, and sometimes they are even given fake serial numbers and identifiers. Most often they are sold through online stores.

    How to buy an iPhone from hands

    Where to buy an officially restored iPhone

    Apple support told me that officially restored iPhones are not delivered to Russia. According to an employee of the company, if someone sells refurbished iPhones and claims that they are official, then you can be sure that this is not true.

    I wrote to the online hardware store BigGeek, which also sells refurbished iPhones, and clarified this issue. The support service told me that their iPhones were restored by Apple, but these are unofficial deliveries. That is, the store itself purchases officially restored devices abroad and brings them to Russia for resale.

    Thus, the only way to buy a refurbished iPhone from Apple in Russia is to look for unofficial supplies from abroad. But keep in mind that these will be devices released for the foreign market, that is, without Rostest certification. In technical terms, they will not differ in any way from certified ones, but if you decide to contact an Apple service center with it, problems may arise.

    What is the difference between legal and illegal smartphones

    The fact is that Russian centers do not accept some models under warranty without a Rostest certificate, in particular, this applies to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Therefore, before buying, it is better to clarify this issue in advance.

    Another option is to order an officially restored iPhone from abroad. For example, this can be done directly in the American Apple Store using one of the overseas shopping services that order goods to their warehouses in the US or Europe and then send them to Russia. But it is not a fact that it will be much more profitable than buying a new iPhone in Russia.

    How to distinguish a refurbished iPhone from the original

    Apple makes no secret of the fact that it resells some of its equipment, so it will not be difficult to distinguish an officially refurbished phone from a new one. Just look at the box: it will not have an image of the iPhone, instead it will just print the name of the model with the signature Apple Certified Pre-Owned.

    The second detail that will indicate that you have a restored smartphone is the model number. It starts with the letter F, while the new model numbers start with the letter M.

    Another question is if they try to sell you an unofficially restored iPhone under the guise of a new one. Here are a few steps to help identify the substitution.

    1. Check all the information about the model on the box and in the smartphone settings – they must match. These are the model name and number, serial number, IMEI, memory capacity, and so on. If you want to check this data directly in the store, just click on the “i” icon on the activation screen.
    2. Pay attention to the model number: if you buy a new phone, then it must begin with the letter M. The last letters RU / A in the number will indicate that the iPhone was delivered to Russia directly from Apple and has been certified by Rostest.
    3. Check contents. The box should contain all instructions, stickers, a SIM card eject pin, original headphones and a cable.
    4. Check the appearance of the device: it should not have any abrasions, dents or scratches. Pay attention to the screws next to the charging connector: if there are marks from a screwdriver on them, then the phone was taken apart.
    5. Check the performance: screen responsiveness, button presses, camera quality, speaker performance, Wi-Fi connection, and so on.
    6. Check your smartphone on the Apple website. Enter the IMEI number indicated on the box in the field and see what it will give you in response. If the site says “iPhone needs to be activated”, then you have a new device. If it says there that the service period has already expired or ends earlier than in a year, then you have a phone that has already been in use.
    7. Try connecting your iPhone to a computer or laptop with iTunes installed. If the program does not recognize it, then you have a fake.

    Is it true that a refurbished iPhone often breaks

    If we are talking about an officially refurbished iPhone, then the probability that it will break is no higher than that of a regular iPhone. For all refurbished products, Apple issues the same warranty as for new ones. When restoring an iPhone, all components that worked incorrectly are not repaired, but replaced with new ones, so the risk of repeated breakdowns is eliminated.

    In the case of an unofficially restored iPhone, the situation is more complicated. The performance of such a device will entirely depend on the conscientiousness of the store where you buy it.

    If the craftsmen are not highly qualified and if they used non-original components, then the risk that the iPhone will break increases many times over. Therefore, when buying unofficially refurbished devices, it is important to choose large sellers with a good reputation.

    iPhone 13 review – Apple’s best smartphone in 2023

    Is there a warranty for a refurbished iPhone? Unofficially refurbished devices are, of course, not covered by this warranty.

    On the other hand, unofficially restored phones can be guaranteed by the sellers themselves. For example, BackMarket, a large American refurbished equipment store, gives customers 30 days to return the goods and 12 months of free service. Amazon Renewed allows you to return or exchange your iPhone within 90 days.

    Well, other sellers may not give a guarantee and even not accept the purchased iPhones back if something turns out to be wrong with them. Therefore, before buying such a device, it is important to clarify the terms of the warranty and return.

    Should I buy a refurbished iPhone

    Officially refurbished iPhones are a good alternative for those who want to save money on buying a new smartphone. True, given that Apple does not supply them to Russia, this benefit may be offset by the cost of shipping the device from abroad. If you buy a refurbished iPhone from unofficial supplies, then there is a chance of running into scammers.

    Before you buy a refurbished iPhone in one of the Russian stores, you should contact the support service and clarify who exactly was involved in the restoration. Make sure the model you choose will be covered by the Apple warranty and that the store allows you to return the product if you don’t like it.

    If you want to purchase a model that is not covered by the warranty of Russian Apple service centers, then the store itself must provide it.

Keep your CPU cool with Liquid Metal

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 10°C* compared to standard thermal paste. We’ve updated our patented process for AMD CPUs, adding a special step to protect surface-mounted components on the processor package.

Upgraded Arc Flow Fans™ move more air with less noise

Our 84 blade Arc Flow fans vary in thickness from base to tip to maximize airflow, and the blades are capped by a special aerodynamic wave pattern that minimizes turbulence and noise. With 0dB Technology, the fans switch off completely when CPU and GPU temperatures drop below 50°C in the Silent operating mode for truly inaudible cooling under light workloads

INTERNAL BLAST COOLING

Internal Blast Cooling uses precisely calculated cutouts in the fan chamber to direct airflow toward internal components. When compared to more traditional designs, this allows for more efficient cooling, reducing CPU and GPU temperatures by up to 6°C. Lower temperatures mean higher sustained boost clocks during intense gaming sessions.

0.15mm ultra thin fins for the win

Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks in the flanks. Each one is lined with ultra-thin fins as slim as 0.15mm, allowing higher density and lower air resistance than typical fins. There are 244 heatsink fins totaling 97,632.9mm² of surface area, specially shaped for the chassis to guide airflow in multiple directions and minimize interference from the ErgoLift design.

Up to 6 comprehensive heatpipes got you covered

6 heatpipes pull heat away from not only the CPU, GPU and VRAM, but also the VRM circuitry supplying them with power. Reducing the temperature of these components helps improve long-term stability and reliability.

Scenario Profiles give you the right cooling at the right time

Scenario Profiles automatically change operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for different games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest clocks and fan speed to sustain maximum power, while Performance mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment. You can customize Scenario Profiles to seamlessly switch modes based on your preferences, or use a keyboard shortcut to change modes manually.

Display

Rich detail at gaming speed

Game, create, and do more on our latest high-resolution, high-refresh display. Up to a QHD 240Hz panel delivers the best of both worlds, striking a satisfying balance between fast-paced action and rich, detailed visuals. A quick 3ms grey-to-grey response time minimizes motion blur for precise target tracking. Adaptive-Sync keeps gameplay ultra smooth, eliminating visual tearing and minimizing stuttering for deeper immersion. Dolby Vision support ensures the display has stunning contrast and is ready for the latest HDR games and content.

Virtual worlds are more immersive with QHD displays. Over 3.5 million pixels enable deep realism, smooth color gradients, and rounder curves. Entertainment experiences are more engaging with lifelike colors and detail, from gaming to videos.

Wide color gamut

While the sRGB color space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color gamut and rich color, and let you see films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be experienced.

Pantone validated

Achieve true color confidence with PANTONE® Validated displays. Each IPS-level panel is factory calibrated to guarantee that every color you see meets rigorous and globally recognized Pantone® Color Validation requirements. Superior color accuracy allows artists, designers, and content creators to do serious professional work and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.

Adaptive-Sync

Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they frequently get out of sync. This causes visible hitching and artifacts that pull you out of the action. With Adaptive-Sync, the refresh rate of the display* synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural.

Speakers

Immersive surround sound

Six speakers powered by Dolby Atmos technology put you in the center of the action. Twin tweeters face front to fire sound directly at you for louder volume, while pairs of force-canceling woofers under the palm rests balance acoustics and minimize unwanted resonance. Turn up the volume at parties and events and enjoy louder, more dynamic audio.

Dual

Force-Canceling Woofers

Force-canceling woofers

Woofers produce low frequencies that define bass and help create a richer, more dynamic soundscape for your audio. Sounds at such low frequencies typically produce stronger, more noticeable vibrations. In order to minimize resonance in the smaller chassis, the Zephyrus G15 deploys woofers in pairs that are slightly offset to cancel each others’ vibrations.

Rich spatial sound

Whether you’re using headphones or speakers, Dolby Atmos technology enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced and layered virtual surround sound effects that can be further optimized with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.

SMART HEADSET AMP

Tune into louder, more immersive audio with a built-in headset amp. This smart audio amplifier automatically detects the impedance of connected headsets and adjusts settings to drive superior sound. Its high signal-to-noise ratio improves clarity so gamers can better distinguish enemy movements from ambient and environmental sounds. With audio up to 1.5x clearer, even soft footsteps are easier to track from afar.

Microphone

Clear voice communications

Updated audio inputs make all your streams and voice chats clear. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation clarifies upstream and downstream audio, filtering out unwanted noise to make voice communication clearer. The 3D mic array captures a broad soundscape that can be optimized for specific scenarios like recording live music or hosting conference calls.

Up to 1TB of storage leaves loads of room for creative apps and tons of games, with space to spare for your professional portfolio. The second M.2 SSD slot lets you easily add more storage to boost total capacity or run a separate scratch disk to accelerate content creation.

BOOST PERFORMANCE WITH AI

NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience.

MORE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES

Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators – and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores.

OPTIMIZED POWER AND PERFORMANCE

NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors.

ROG MUX SWITCH

Modern gaming laptops use powerful, dedicated graphics chips for high performance—but route those frames through the CPU’s integrated graphics before reaching the display for maximum battery life. This prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance, however, which is why we’re bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 ROG laptops. For competitive games, you can enable a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by up to 9% in some titles.

Intelligent Cooling improves your experience

ROG’s Intelligent Cooling philosophy mixes the right features and system settings to ensure the best experience for each chassis and components, no matter what you’re doing. For the Zephyrus G15, liquid metal thermal compound keeps your CPU cool. A self-cleaning thermal module clears dust to improve long-term stability, while dual Arc Flow fans spin redesigned blades to generate impressive airflow with minimal noise. ROG Armoury Crate software switches seamlessly between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for the task.

Keep your CPU cool with Liquid Metal

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 10°C* compared to standard thermal paste. We’ve updated our patented process for AMD CPUs, adding a special step to protect surface-mounted components on the processor package.

Upgraded Arc Flow Fans™ move more air with less noise

Our 84 blade Arc Flow fans vary in thickness from base to tip to maximize airflow, and the blades are capped by a special aerodynamic wave pattern that minimizes turbulence and noise. With 0dB Technology, the fans switch off completely when CPU and GPU temperatures drop below 50°C in the Silent operating mode for truly inaudible cooling under light workloads

INTERNAL BLAST COOLING

Internal Blast Cooling uses precisely calculated cutouts in the fan chamber to direct airflow toward internal components. When compared to more traditional designs, this allows for more efficient cooling, reducing CPU and GPU temperatures by up to 6°C. Lower temperatures mean higher sustained boost clocks during intense gaming sessions.

0.15mm ultra thin fins for the win

Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks in the flanks. Each one is lined with ultra-thin fins as slim as 0.15mm, allowing higher density and lower air resistance than typical fins. There are 244 heatsink fins totaling 97,632.9mm² of surface area, specially shaped for the chassis to guide airflow in multiple directions and minimize interference from the ErgoLift design.

Up to 6 comprehensive heatpipes got you covered

6 heatpipes pull heat away from not only the CPU, GPU and VRAM, but also the VRM circuitry supplying them with power. Reducing the temperature of these components helps improve long-term stability and reliability.

Scenario Profiles give you the right cooling at the right time

Scenario Profiles automatically change operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for different games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest clocks and fan speed to sustain maximum power, while Performance mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment. You can customize Scenario Profiles to seamlessly switch modes based on your preferences, or use a keyboard shortcut to change modes manually.

Display

Rich detail at gaming speed

Game, create, and do more on our latest high-resolution, high-refresh display. Up to a QHD 240Hz panel delivers the best of both worlds, striking a satisfying balance between fast-paced action and rich, detailed visuals. A quick 3ms grey-to-grey response time minimizes motion blur for precise target tracking. Adaptive-Sync keeps gameplay ultra smooth, eliminating visual tearing and minimizing stuttering for deeper immersion. Dolby Vision support ensures the display has stunning contrast and is ready for the latest HDR games and content.

High resolution

Virtual worlds are more immersive with QHD displays. Over 3.5 million pixels enable deep realism, smooth color gradients, and rounder curves. Entertainment experiences are more engaging with lifelike colors and detail, from gaming to videos.

Wide color gamut

While the sRGB color space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color gamut and rich color, and let you see films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be experienced.

Pantone validated

Achieve true color confidence with PANTONE® Validated displays. Each IPS-level panel is factory calibrated to guarantee that every color you see meets rigorous and globally recognized Pantone® Color Validation requirements. Superior color accuracy allows artists, designers, and content creators to do serious professional work and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.

Adaptive-Sync

Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they frequently get out of sync. This causes visible hitching and artifacts that pull you out of the action. With Adaptive-Sync, the refresh rate of the display* synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural.

Speakers

Immersive surround sound

Six speakers powered by Dolby Atmos technology put you in the center of the action. Twin tweeters face front to fire sound directly at you for louder volume, while pairs of force-canceling woofers under the palm rests balance acoustics and minimize unwanted resonance. Turn up the volume at parties and events and enjoy louder, more dynamic audio.

Speakers

 

Dual

Force-Canceling Woofers

Force-canceling woofers

Woofers produce low frequencies that define bass and help create a richer, more dynamic soundscape for your audio. Sounds at such low frequencies typically produce stronger, more noticeable vibrations. In order to minimize resonance in the smaller chassis, the Zephyrus G15 deploys woofers in pairs that are slightly offset to cancel each others’ vibrations.

Rich spatial sound

Whether you’re using headphones or speakers, Dolby Atmos technology enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced and layered virtual surround sound effects that can be further optimized with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.

SMART HEADSET AMP

Tune into louder, more immersive audio with a built-in headset amp. This smart audio amplifier automatically detects the impedance of connected headsets and adjusts settings to drive superior sound. Its high signal-to-noise ratio improves clarity so gamers can better distinguish enemy movements from ambient and environmental sounds. With audio up to 1.5x clearer, even soft footsteps are easier to track from afar.

Microphone

Clear voice communications

Updated audio inputs make all your streams and voice chats clear. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation clarifies upstream and downstream audio, filtering out unwanted noise to make voice communication clearer. The 3D mic array captures a broad soundscape that can be optimized for specific scenarios like recording live music or hosting conference calls.

    Another gorgeous looking first party PS5 game, with some fun and imaginative platforming, but even with four players at once it lacks that certain spark that would’ve made it a true launch essential.

    Though Sackboy: A Big Adventure’s aesthetic is a bit basic, its solid platforming presents a good challenge.

    Game Revolution

    Jason Faulkner

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a competent platformer with tight controls. However, the generic craft theme and lack of memorable characters prevent it from being outstanding. The 3D platforming genre is filled to the brim with classics, and to stand out, a game has to do more than just be playable. There are plenty of costumes to collect and bits and baubles to pick up throughout levels, but Sackboy lacks that hook that’ll keep gamers coming back.

    Sackboy A Big Adventure – PS5 and PS4 Games

    Game overview

    Take Sackboy on an epic 3D platforming adventure with your friends.

    Iconic PlayStation® hero Sackboy bursts back into breathtaking action with a huge, fun and frantic 3D multiplayer platforming adventure – and a whole new edgy sackitude!

    And here’s what’s going down: 

    The dastardly Vex (a near-mythical being born of chaos and fear, no less) kidnaps Sackboy’s friends and forces them to build his Topsy Turver. 

    This most deadly diabolical device will transform Craftworld from a fantastical land of pure imagination and innocent dreams… into a torrid, barren eyesore of nightmares. Ooh the fiend!

    But legend tells of a prophecy from deep within the ancient order of the Knitted Knights, Craftworld’s legendary protectors. For only the brave, fearless, chivalrous and, yes, gallant can save the day in an almost too dramatic for words race against time stuffed with danger and peril. So much peril.

    Set off alone or with your bravest friends on a whirlwind of capers across the snowiest mountains, the leafiest jungles, the wettest underwater realms and the, uh, spaciest of space colonies.

    Take down Vex. Save the sack-folk. Save the day. It’s time to fulfill your destiny, Sackboy. From woolly wonderkid and hessian hero… rise our Knitted Knight.

    Game Review

    Take Sackboy on an epic 3D adventure with friends.‎

    The legendary PlayStation® hero is back: embark on an exciting and crazy adventure through the massive 3D multiplayer platformer world!

    What awaits the players and heroes?‎

    The insidious Vex (an almost mythological character, a child of chaos and fear) kidnaps Sackboy’s friends and forces them to build the Chaosinator.

    This diabolical mechanism threatens to turn the beautiful World of Creation—a world of pure imagination and dreams—into a terrifying and terrifying wasteland of nightmares. What a villain!

    But there is a prophecy about an ancient order of knitted knights — the legendary defenders of the World of Creation. Only brave, fearless, noble and stylish heroes are able to defend the world and enter into a risky race against time against dangers and horrors. And these horrors will be many.

    Embark on an adventure alone or with friends as you experience dizzying challenges in snow-capped peaks, dense jungles, treacherous underwater worlds and vast space colonies.

    Defeat Vex. Save the knitted people. Save the world. It’s time to fulfill your destiny, Sackboy. Become a knitted knight – the savior of the knitted people.

    What is a Unidirectional Microphone? [+ 3 Polar Patterns]

    T Mango

    Jan 19th, 2023


    When you’re using a microphone, the polar pattern that you choose affects how it picks up and records sound. While there are several types of polar patterns available in microphones today, the most popular type is the unidirectional pattern.

    This type of polar pattern is directionally sensitive and picks up sound from one region in space, i.e., in front of the microphone. It’s in contrast, for instance, to omnidirectional microphones that pick up sound from all around the microphone.

    In this post, we’ll look at unidirectional microphones, how they work, their pros and cons relative to an omnidirectional polar pattern, and how to use them.

    So, if you’re not sure about whether to choose a directionally sensitive microphone for your next live gig or recording session, then this post is for you!

    The Basics of Unidirectional Microphones

    Unidirectional microphones, also referred to as directional microphones, pick up sound from one direction, i. e., they have a polar pattern (see below) that’s designed to focus on sound coming from a particular direction while excluding sounds from other directions.

    They are in contrast to omnidirectional microphones that pick up sound from several directions at a time. As such, they are preferred in situations where a single sound source is the focus of live audio or recording sessions without picking up too much ambiance or background noise.

    Polar Patterns

    Microphone polar patterns—also referred to as microphone pickup patterns—describe the region from which a microphone picks up sound. There are several types of polar patterns used in modern microphones, with the most popular being the directional types.

    Types of Polar Patterns

    The most common types of polar patterns are:

    • Cardioid (directional) — A heart-shaped region in front of the mic.
    • Figure-eight (bi-directional) — A region in front of and behind the mic in the shape of a figure-eight, resulting in a bi-directional pickup region.
    • Omnidirectional — A spherical region around the mic.

    Keep in mind that a microphone’s polar pattern is about more than just its positioning relative to a sound source—as Paul White, accomplished audio industry veteran, puts it:

    Choose the optimum polar pattern for the job, and you’re halfway to capturing a great recording.

    Directional Polar Patterns

    While the cardioid polar pattern is the most common type of directional pattern (positioned back-to-back in the case of a bi-directional pattern), there are other variations used:

    • Super-cardioid — This is a popular directional polar pattern that picks up a small amount of sound from behind the mic in addition to a heart-shaped region in front of it, and it has a narrower region of front focus than the cardioid.
    • Hyper-cardioid — This is similar to the super-cardioid, but it has an even narrower region of front-focus, resulting in a very (i.e., “hyper”) directional microphone.
    • Sub-cardioid — Again, this is similar to the super-cardioid but with a wider region of front-focus, i. e., a directionality that’s somewhere between a cardioid and an omnidirectional pattern.

    Both the super and hyper-cardioid patterns provide a narrower region of front-focus than the cardioid, and as such, they’re useful in situations when you want less ambient noise and strong directionality, albeit with some pickup from the rear. They require careful positioning, however—if a singer or speaker were to move off-axis during a recording, your sound quality may be impacted.

    The sub-cardioid is less focused than the super and hyper variants, is better suited for a wide sound source, and provides a more natural, open sound. It is, however, more susceptible to feedback given the more open nature of this pickup pattern.

    How Directional Microphones Work

    The directionality of a microphone is determined by the design of its capsule, i.e., the part that contains the sound-sensitive mechanism, usually consisting of a diaphragm that vibrates in response to sound waves.

    Microphone Capsule Design

    There are two primary types of capsule design:

    1. Pressure capsules — Only one side of the capsule is open to air, meaning that the diaphragm will respond to sound pressure waves coming from any direction (this is because air has the property of exerting pressure equally in all directions.)
    2. Pressure-gradient capsules — Both sides of the capsule are open to air, so sound pressure waves coming in from one side will exit at the other side with a small difference (i.e., gradient) in air pressure.

    Pressure capsules are used in omni mics as they respond to sound coming from all directions.

    Pressure-gradient capsules are used in directional mics, as the size of the gradient varies according to the angle of the sound source, making these microphones sensitive to directionality.

    Pros of Unidirectional Mics

    One of the main advantages of a directional microphone is its focused pickup region. This means that it won’t pick up unwanted sounds or background noise.

    This is useful in situations where sound is coming from a narrow region relative to the mic, such as during a speech or lecture, or if there’s a band directly in front of your mic.

    Other advantages of unidirectional mics include:

    • High gain relative to feedback compared with omni microphones, since there’s more sensitivity to direct sound from a narrow region in space.
    • Low sensitivity to background noise or unwanted ambient sounds.
    • Better channel separation during recordings, given a better ratio with which the microphone picks up direct sound relative to indirect sounds as compared with omni microphones.

    Cons of Unidirectional Mics

    A major disadvantage of a directional microphone is its proximity effect, i.e., the impact on its frequency response as it moves closer to a source of sound. This results in an excessive bass response when it’s close to the source.

    A singer, for instance, would notice a higher bass response as they move closer to a directional microphone due to the proximity effect. This may be desirable in some situations, if the additional bass adds a deep, earthy tone to the singer’s voice, for example, but is undesirable when a consistent tonal balance is required.

    Other disadvantages of directional mics include:

    • Somewhat lacking in the bass region of the frequency response relative to most omni mics.
    • Doesn’t capture ambience or other sounds that portray a sense of the setting in which the microphone is being used.
    • More sensitive to wind noise when used in outdoor settings given its capsule design (i.e., open at both ends, allowing air to pass through.)

    How to Use A Directional Microphone

    The way that a directional microphone is made, i.e., to generate its directional polar pattern, results in certain characteristics that are worth being aware of when you use one. Let’s look at two of the most important of these.

    Frequency Response

    Omnidirectional mics are known for their consistent sensitivity across a wide range of frequencies, but for a directional mic, the pressure-gradient mechanism means that it has different sensitivities at low vs high frequencies. In particular, it’s almost insensitive at low frequencies.

    To combat this, manufacturers make the diaphragm of a directional mic much more responsive to low frequencies. However, while this helps to combat the tendencies of the pressure-gradient mechanism, it results in susceptibility to unwanted low-frequency sounds arising from vibrations, handling noise, wind, and popping.

    The Proximity Effect

    A property of sound waves is that their energy at low frequencies dissipates much more rapidly than at high frequencies, and this varies with proximity from the source. This is what causes the proximity effect.

    Given this effect, manufacturers design a directional mic’s frequency characteristics with certain proximity in mind. In use, if the distance to the source differs from what it’s designed for, the mic’s tonal response may sound overly “boomy” or “thin”.

    Best Practice Techniques

    With these characteristics in mind, here are a few best-practice techniques to adopt when using a directional microphone:

    • Use a good shock mount to minimize the susceptibility to low-frequency disturbances, such as vibrations.
    • Use a light and flexible cable to further minimize vibrations (since stiff, heavier cables propagate vibrations more easily.)
    • Use a windshield to reduce wind noise (if outdoors) or plosives.
    • Position microphones towards the source of sound as effectively as you can during usage.
    • Consider which directional polar pattern best fits your needs, e.g., cardioid, super, hyper, or even bi-directional.

    Still not sure which mic to choose? We prepared a comprehensive guide where we compare unidirectional vs omnidirectional microphones in details! 

    Conclusion

    In this post, we’ve looked at unidirectional microphones, i.e., those that have a directional polar pattern. Compared with a non-directional (omnidirectional) polar pattern, these microphones feature:

    • Focused directionality and better channel separation
    • A high gain for the sound source relative to feedback or ambient noise
    • More susceptibility to low frequencies

    Given their characteristics, the next time you’re choosing a mic for a situation in which directionality matters, e. g., when an omnidirectional pickup pattern would result in too much ambient noise, a directional mic may be just the one that you need.

    Unidirectional vs Omnidirectional Microphone – CrumplePop

    Marco Sebastiano Alessi

    Feb 22nd, 2023


    Regardless of the audio field you’re working in, whether it’s podcasting or ambient recordings, you need to understand how to improve the audio quality of a recording and how microphones pick up sound. There’s no way around it: a great microphone can transform amateur recordings into professional audio.

    This is why today we’ll spend some time highlighting the difference between omnidirectional and unidirectional microphones and defining which ones are the best for your specific needs.

    Microphone Pick-up Patterns

    Did you know all microphones have microphone pickup patterns? The mic’s pickup pattern defines how sensible the mic is when capturing sounds from each side. Microphones can capture sound from everywhere around them, from two sides or just one, while being less sensitive to sound coming from sources outside their range.

    While there are several pickup pattern options, today we’ll analyze the properties and polar patterns of unidirectional and omnidirectional microphones, the most common patterns for a recording microphone.

    Unidirectional Microphones

    A unidirectional microphone also called a directional microphone, has a cardioid polar pattern. The polar pattern of directional microphones is represented by a heart-shaped form because it can pick up sound widely from the front side, less from the left and right sides, and minimizes sound from the back of the microphone.

    The cardioid mic pattern of a unidirectional mic can be super-cardioid or hyper-cardioid, which gives a narrower pick-up on the front but offers a bit more sensitivity in the back and a lot less from the sides. When choosing the cardioid mic of a unidirectional mic, ensure you’re choosing the best cardioid pattern for your needs.

    You should use a unidirectional microphone to capture a direct sound coming from the front side and avoid all other background sounds. That’s why a unidirectional microphone is good for untreated rooms because you don’t have to worry about the mic picking up noises other than the primary source.

    A unidirectional microphone is also a good choice for outdoor recordings, to record a voice, a specific sound with more clarity, and low noises thanks to the proximity effect. However, be careful because unidirectional microphones are susceptible to pops and wind noise, so a windshield or pop filter is recommended to make the most of a directional microphone 

    Pros

    • Great with room noise isolation.

    • Better proximity effect.

    • Avoids sound leakage.

    • Captures bass and low frequencies better.

    Cons

    • Struggles with wind, pop sounds, and distortion.

    • Hard to record a moving target.

    • You need to be careful with mic placement.

    Omnidirectional Microphones

    Unlike unidirectional mics, an omnidirectional microphone records the source sound from all sides. It doesn’t matter how you place the microphone; it will sound equally well from the front or the rear side as long as it’s close to the sound source.

    The polar pattern of an omni mic has a circular form. It means it’s sensitive from any direction and does not attenuate sounds from any angle. If you have a room with little treatment, an omnidirectional mic will pick up all the room noise, and your final recording will require a lot of noise reduction in post-production.

    However, the advantage is that you can place the omnidirectional microphone in the center of a room, and it’ll capture everything that’s going on within that room. With ambient sounds, an omnidirectional microphone is the best option to capture ambient sounds, get the sound of a river but also the sound of insects and the grass and leaves moving by the wind.

    An omnidirectional microphone, being sensitive from all sides, makes it challenging to hide background noises from recordings. But since they suffer less from the proximity effect than unidirectional microphones, they can handle wind, vibration noise, and plosive sounds better.

    Other uses for an omnidirectional microphone include acoustic performances, choirs, stereo recording, concerts where you want to capture the audience and every detail for an immersive effect, and conferences.

    Pros

    • Omnidirectional microphones capture sounds from different directions

    • You can place omnidirectional microphones in any position, and they will pick up sounds clearly from any direction.

    • Handles noisy wind, plosives, and vibration.

    • A better choice for recordings in nature and stereo recording.

    Cons

    • The proximity effect is lower with omnidirectional mics.

    • No room isolation.

    • Picks up more unwanted noise, echo, and reverb.

    Unidirectional vs Omnidirectional Microphones: The Verdict

    All in all, a unidirectional microphone is better for capturing low frequencies thanks to the proximity effect. You will have more isolation from noises but might struggle with mic positioning and distortion. However, if you know how to avoid these issues, your voiceovers, podcast, and singing sessions will sound professional.

    Choosing an omnidirectional microphone will allow you to place it upside down in a boom arm, right side up on a mic stand, and speak or play an instrument while walking around it. However, they’re much more likely to capture background noise.

    Nowadays, it’s common to find condenser microphones with a multi-microphone setup selection to have even more control over your recording microphone: a good option if you’re working in different situations and don’t like moving around with multiple uni or omnidirectional mics.

    If you prefer having a good unidirectional microphone for all circumstances, look for shotguns and dynamic microphones. For omnidirectional microphones, lavalier and condenser mics are the most popular options.

    Good luck, and stay creative!

    Microphone directivity types



    Directionality
    is the sensitivity of the microphone to an audio signal depending on the direction or angle from which the sound is coming.

    Most often, microphone directivity is depicted as polar diagrams. This is done to visually represent the sensitivity of the microphone over a 360 degree range, where the head of the microphone is the center of the circle. The beginning of the angle is placed in front of the microphone (green straight line, mark “0 degrees”).

    The radiation pattern shows exactly how the sensitivity of a microphone to sound depends on the location of its source. The divisions on such a diagram show specific values ​​​​of the sound level (in decibels, dB).

    For example , in the diagram below the sound comes from two directions: A and B .

    The sound traveling in the direction B has traveled its entire path inside the sensitivity zone (in this case, cardioid), that is, five divisions.
    The sound traveling in the direction A has traveled only two divisions within our cardioid.

    From this we understand that the sound (at the same distance to the microphone) coming in the direction B will be 15 dB (or about 32 times) louder than the sound going in the direction A .

    There are three main types of microphone directivity:
    • omnidirectional (round)
    • single-sided (cardioid)
    • double-sided (“figure of eight”)

      omnidirectional


      An omnidirectional microphone (an omnidirectional microphone such as the Sennheiser MD42) is equally sensitive to signals from all directions.

      Often, a microphone with a circular directivity is characterized by low sensitivity to breathing sounds, and it does not have the “proximity effect” (more on that below).

      Microphones with this directivity have a wider low-frequency range than others, which is very important when working with instruments that produce a lot of “low”.

      Due to their sensitivity to room acoustics, omnidirectional microphones make sense when recording in a quiet room or in a room with very good acoustics, to reflect the acoustic atmosphere. Omnidirectional microphones are often used in cases where it is impossible to guarantee the speaker’s ability to use directional microphones, for example, holidays, weddings, lectures, public meetings, etc. An interesting fact – the above Sennheiser MD42 microphone has gained serious popularity among religious organizations (churches, mosques, synagogues, etc.).

      Unidirectional

      Unidirectional microphones (unidirectional, for example – Sennheiser MD46) have a cardioid, supercardioid or hypercardioid pickup pattern.

      Cardioid microphones (fig. 1) do not pick up sound coming from the rear of the microphone.

      The super-cardioid microphones (Fig. 2) have a narrower front pickup area (compared to a regular cardioid), stronger noise isolation and are less sensitive to room acoustics, but they pick up sound coming from the back of the microphone (albeit very weakly).

      Hypercardioid (fig. 3) microphones provide maximum noise isolation, are the least sensitive to room acoustics, but pick up slightly more sound coming from the back of the microphone (compared to cardioid and supercardioid microphones).

      rice. 1

      rice. 2 fig.3

      Most often, such microphones are used for vocals, or in cases where serious noise isolation is needed, for example, for a stage or reporting.
      It is important to note that despite the fact that the super- and hyper-cardioid microphone enhances noise isolation on the sides, the same cardiodyne (due to the construction of the diaphragm of such microphones) increases the sensitivity of the microphone from the side of the handle (see the figures above), therefore, the type of cardioid microphone in this case is selected for a specific case, for example, for a vocalist who is close to the stage, a hypercardioid microphone will not work (the back side of the microphone can capture sounds from the audience), but for a studio, such a microphone is perfect.

      Bidirectional

      The bi-directional microphone is equally sensitive to sound signals coming from the front and rear, and almost insensitive to sound coming from the sides.

      pic 4

      In the “common people” a microphone with such an orientation is called “eight” (for example, Sennheiser MK 8).

      pic 5


      Figure 8 is often used for recording duets (when the performers sit opposite each other on the sides of the microphone, see Figure 4) and when recording interviews (when people sit opposite each other in front of and behind the microphone, see Figure 5). It is also used for recording in a muffled room if it is necessary to increase the relative level of reflected signals, and for recording individual instruments (to highlight low frequencies when the performers are close to the microphone).

      Proximity effect

      Unidirectional microphones, as they approach the sound source, increase the return on low frequencies, within 0.5 meters. If the microphone is very close (30 cm and closer), the sound will turn out to be very “mumbling”. There are several ways to restore a more natural sound:

      1. Use an equalizer or mixing console. By using the equalizer, you can cut the lows, thereby returning the sound to a more natural sound.
      2. Use a microphone with low cut function (e.g. Sennheiser E 914)
      3. Move microphone away from sound source

      Microphone directivity – what is it and why? | Blue Microphones

      What comes to mind when you hear or see the phrase “radiation patterns”? Surely this is something from the migration of polar bears! But if you put aside the jokes, then radiation patterns are very often not understood, and everything that can be found on them on the network is a bit confused and often incorrectly written. To be honest, we receive a lot of questions from our community on this topic, and today we decided to put an end to this issue once and for all – we will tell you what microphone directivity is, what polar patterns are and in what cases it is better to use one or another. Let’s go!

      Basics

      In a nutshell, a microphone’s directivity is its ability to receive sound from one direction or another without distortion. Why is it so important? Well, for example, if you use a microphone designed to record voice (a podcast or some kind of game), then it will receive sound from one source – your mouth, and not from the whole room, including the refrigerator and air conditioner. On the other hand, if you record a choir in a large hall with just one microphone, you will have to record all the sound in the room on it. This is why choosing a microphone with the right directionality is so important to success.

      The most common microphone pickup patterns are omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, and bidirectional (or simply figure-of-eight). Let’s understand the features of each chart and what they are best suited for.

      Cardioid polar pattern

      Cardioid (unidirectional)

      Cardioid can be called the most common type of polarity and is the one used in most cases. The essence of the cardioid pattern is to capture the maximum sound in front of the capsule and the minimum in the back. Thanks to this, you completely get rid of extraneous sounds when recording – this is why a cardioid microphone can be called the best choice.

      When recording in the studio, cardioid microphones are ideal for picking up sounds from a variety of instruments such as drums and guitar, as well as vocals. And because their directivity is very narrow, cardioid microphones completely cut off the signal from other instruments in the room. Cardioid mics are also great for noisy environments because they don’t let outside sounds seep into your recording.

      Microphone examples: Spark SL, Bluebird SL, Baby Bottle SL, Hummingbird, Dragonfly, Blueberry.

      Supercardioid

      Supercardioid microphones have an even narrower pickup pattern than cardioid microphones, which means even less ambient sounds will be recorded. They also have a high-sensitivity point at the back and, if not properly positioned, can pick up unwanted sound, such as from monitors.

      Supercardioid microphones are best for recording a single voice or instrument in very noisy environments. Yeti, Yeti Pro and Kiwi have a super-cardioid mode.

      Microphone examples: Yeti, Yeti Pro, Kiwi, Bottle and 9 0170 Bottle Rocket with suitable capsules.

      Omnidirectional

      Omnidirectional

      Omnidirectional microphones are equally sensitive from all directions and are used when you need to capture all sounds in a room. In sound recording, omnidirectional microphones are used to record choirs, orchestras, or multiple performers singing at the same time.

      Omnidirectional microphones are also useful when recording multiple speakers in different locations in the room, such as during a video conference. But for live performances, such microphones are not very suitable, since you will not be able to close them from unnecessary sound sources such as monitors.

      Microphone examples: Yeti, Yeti Pro, Kiwi, Bottle and Bottle Rocket when using suitable capsules.

      Bi-directional or figure-of-eight pattern

      Bi-directional (figure of eight)

      The bidirectional microphone records the same amount of sound from both sides of the capsule within a 90-degree radius.

    How to Replace a Damaged Phone Screen Display

    As mobile phone displays are much tougher than they used to be, it seems like they’re indestructible. Sadly, they’re not. Dropping your phone can often break the display. Your phone can no longer be considered useful.

    Want to replace a damaged smartphone display? It’s a relatively cheap and straightforward process. Here’s how to do it.

    The Costs of Replacing Your Phone Screen

    Cracked your mobile phone display? Dropped it in the street, or crushed it playing football? Sat on it, even? You know by now that you’ve given yourself a headache. Can the phone be repaired, and if so, what are the costs?

    Many services available online and locally will repair your mobile phone, for a price. But if you have access to the parts and they’re inexpensive, why not perform the procedure yourself?

    You should also consider the non-monetary costs: time spent without a phone, data that needs archiving from the device. Hopefully your mobile platform’s cloud service can help here, or perhaps a desktop utility can check the phone’s contents.

    Fitting a new display that costs the same as a replacement phone is pointless. However, if replacing the mobile phone screen is closer to $15, it makes sense to have a go yourself.

    If you don’t want to attempt the repair, here’s how to recover data from a cracked phone.

    Where to Find a Replacement Phone Screen

    The most obvious location for a replacement display is eBay. Simply searching for the mobile phone model and the word display will turn up the required parts. Just remember to shop safely when using eBay.

    In my case, “nexus 5 display” returned a wealth of accurate (and, sadly, slightly inaccurate) results. Take the time to check that the component you choose is genuinely for your device. Often, components may appear in the results thanks to a poorly written listing.

    Amazon is also a resource for replacement screens, but you should also consider a general Google search as this will turn up specialist suppliers who might be able to provide a lower price.

    Note that you may find listings that offer just the display, versus listings with half the phone’s chassis. Which one you buy depends on how complicated you want things to get. For example, just the display means melting the adhesive using a heatgun or hairdryer.

    Alternatively, a replacement display kit that includes half the phone’s body will require components being transferred from the old body into the replacement.

    The Tools for Replacing Your Phone Screen

    Often, replacement displays ship with the tools included. Typically, you’ll receive:

    • Mini screwdrivers
    • Mini Torx drivers
    • Plastic tweezers
    • Plastic wedges
    • A guitar pick/plectrum

    You should also have:

    • Curved tweezers
    • Precision knife or craft scalpel
    • Hairdryer or heat gun

    These tools are included to remove the case and unscrew any components that obstruct replacing the display. For example, a mobile phone will have Torx screws under the battery cover that will need removing before you gently prize the case apart.

    Note that spending money on these tools isn’t totally necessary. Sanding off the ends of a couple of plastic bicycle wheel levers will produce usable alternatives—otherwise, they can be sourced relatively cheaply.

    The Basics of Replacing a Phone Screen

    There are so many different mobile phone models on the market (either new or used) that providing a standardized guide is next to impossible. Additionally, some models cannot be repaired without sending them back to the manufacturer.

    Head to YouTube to check how your particular phone’s display can be replaced. You’ll find many detailed device-specific guides on the procedure.

    Most smartphones are essentially made up of several layers of components. Each layer must be carefully detached for the glass display to be replaced.

    These guides typically follow this procedure for replacing your smartphone display:

    1. Open the phone
    2. Remove the display
    3. Replace the adhesive
    4. Fit the new display
    5. Ensure correct cable connection

    Read on to learn how to fit a replacement smartphone display.

    Step 1: Open the Phone

    To begin, remove (where possible) the rear cover, battery and identify where the Torx (or standard) screws might be hidden. Look under labels and beside USB ports. You might find screws in the battery cavity if you have a device with a removable cell.

    Prize the phone apart using the levers and plectrum; additional screws will need removing, too.

    Watch out for ribbon cables, which require careful unlatching from their connectors. Use a flat plastic blade or plectrum for this.

    These are often threaded through the different layers of hardware within the phone. Ribbon cables are delicate; easily broken, take care as damage to these could change the dynamic of the repair considerably.

    Step 2: Remove the Screen

    By now you should have the front of the phone in your hand, empty, with the glass display ready to remove. Soften the adhesive with the heat gun.

    Alternatively, you can leave the phone in a warm place (such as on a radiator) for a while.

    Persuading your phone’s display to part with the body isn’t usually difficult. Pushing through the camera hole against the glass to begin with, slowly prize the glass display away from the body.

    As noted, some replacements are basically half a phone.

    In this case, you won’t need to remove the display, but you will need to remove components (and even the motherboard) from the damaged device into the new body.

    Step 3: Replace the Adhesive

    Narrow rolls of replacement adhesive can be bought online. Have some double-sided sticky tape laying around? Cut this into narrow 1 mm slivers, then apply the adhesive to the phone’s frame, rather than the glass.

    Step 4: Install the New Screen

    Once the adhesive is in place remove the protective strips on the adhesive and push the glass into place.

    Apply light pressure where the display meets the adhesive. Take care not to put pressure on the middle of the glass display. Excessive force can break even the strongest Gorilla glass.

    Step 5: Ensure Correct Cable Connections

    It’s now time to put the phone back together.

    Reconnect the relevant cables, locking them down where necessary. Place the components back in the case with care, checking that there are no cables or screws left over. Test the phone to check that it works.

    You should be able to switch the phone on without securing the final screws in order to check functionality.

    Planning to use a video guide? Review it before you start to familiarize yourself with the steps.

    Does the New Phone Screen Work?

    The moment of truth: does the new screen work? Remember, a touchscreen display has two purposes: touch interaction, and displaying the phone’s operating system.

    A successful replacement will give your phone a fresh “almost new” look, and if the touchscreen works, well done.

    However, it isn’t always plain sailing. I’ve fitted a replacement display that caused the phone to overheat. Therefore, it is important to buy components from reputable sellers, and ensure you’re buying the right parts for your phone.

    DIY Smartphone Repair, Success!

    Confident? Replacing a mobile phone screen isn’t simple, but it is something that you should certainly consider if the price is right.

    While there are no hard-and-fast rules—devices differ from manufacturer to manufacturer—the steps provided should illustrate what is entailed.

    Most importantly, don’t walk into performing such a repair without some device-specific research first. Video guides are particularly useful; once you’re ready, get hold of the right tools and surprise yourself!

    Here’s another tech problem you can solve yourself with a bit of time and effort: phone display flickering. And if you drop your phone into the water, don’t panic, follow these tips to help save it.

    How to Repair a Broken Phone Screen

    You could almost see it happening in slow motion: your smartphone is in your hand one moment, and the next thing you know, it’s barreling toward the ground in a nosedive. Sometimes the layers of glass and plastic will hold up, but all too often, this scenario will lead to a chipped, cracked, or broken phone screen.

    Thanks to the right-to-repair movement, the options for mending a broken phone screen have expanded. Between simple DIY fixes, third-party repair shops, and even manufacturer-sponsored mail-in programs, there’s an option for everyone.

    So take a deep breath before you pick up your damaged cell phone to examine it. Even if the cracks radiate out like a spiderweb, there’s a fix.

    Why Do Screens Break So Easily?

    Artur Debat//Getty Images

    Ah, the perennial question: Why is this $1,000 device so prone to damage in the first place?

    It all boils down to a difficult-to-reach compromise between consumer desires and engineering reality. In other words, we want phones with maxed out displays that also feature an elegant design. However, those slim edges and nearly bezel-less screens have to make some concessions in the durability department.

    But regardless of the design specifics, it’s really about elastic energy, according to Red Zombie, a Clearfield, Utah-based repairs and accessories shop.

    “When you drop your phone, elastic energy stored in the phone’s glass is converted into surface energy, which is why your glass cracks,” the company notes in a September 2018 blog post. “[W]hen you drop your phone, the force of impact will overcome the surface compression, resulting in small stresses that could lead to the shattering of your screen.”

    To combat this reality, manufacturers like Apple and Samsung are constantly experimenting with tougher kinds of glass to absorb the impact. Red Zombie says most companies mix zinc into aluminum to create a strong base for the body of the phone.

    What to Do Right Away

    Broken screens come in various levels of severity—from light scratches, to spiderweb-like patterns, to entirely missing chunks of glass—and you could be dealing with anything from a completely shattered display and a broken phone, to a simple cosmetic issue.

    First, you should assess the damage, which means getting your phone on a solid surface and under a good light, not just giving it a quick once-over before stuffing it back in your pocket. With a little bit of stress testing and careful prodding you should be able to work out whether the screen is about to fall off or fail completely. In a lot of cases it will stay in place, cracks and all, so you can at least keep tweeting, as long as the screen is still visible and functioning.

    Prepare for the Drop
    • Is AppleCare+ Really Worth It?

    If the phone is seriously damaged, back up your data as quickly as you can, making sure all of your photos, videos, and important files are saved somewhere else just in case it dies completely and you can’t get the phone working again. If it’s already stopped functioning, then a professional repair is probably your best bet.

    Here are the solutions, in ascending order of professionalism.

    Option #1: Apply Packing Tape

    The name of the game here is, “hold out until I’m eligible for an upgrade.” If you want to keep using the cracked phone, and don’t want to risk losing glass or slicing up your fingers, cover the screen with a layer of packing tape. Line everything up carefully and trim it with an X-Acto knife, and it may look almost like a real screen protector.

    Option #2: Use a Screen Protector

    This is the gussied-up version of the packing tape solution. Using a screen protector ensures you have no seams and a clean line around the edges of the screen. Granted, that might not be much of a concern when there’s a spiderweb of cracks underneath.

    Option #3: Replace the Screen Yourself

    It’s possible to replace a broken phone screen on your own. We’ll refer you to iFixit for their excellent, step-by-step guide with photos. A few key things to keep in mind here: Before you decide to go this route, look into the cost of a replacement screen. Today’s phone screens, which incorporate touch interaction and possibly biometric sensors, don’t come cheap.

    You should also look into the warranty situation. If you’re the kind of person who is willing to fix a phone yourself, you’re probably not too worried about maintaining your warranty—but it still can’t hurt to know if you’re going to void it.

    Finally, unless you’re already accomplished at repairing modern solid-state electronics, you probably lack the specialized tools you’ll need for the job. Luckily, iFixit sells a handy kit that includes pretty much everything you’ll need, with the possible exception of the iOpener, a tube you heat up and apply to the phone to soften its adhesives.

    Smartphone touchscreen replacement

    The displays of modern smartphones are very fragile, they crack and break literally after the first fall. This is due to the fact that the display is a complex part of the smartphone, made of glass and other fragile materials. Unfortunately, modern engineers have not yet been able to solve this problem.

    Users are offered to stick additional protective glasses, covers, etc. – but this does not provide 100% protection. Therefore, replacing glass (screen) on a smartphone is a very common procedure. In this article, we will talk about what a touchscreen is, whether it is possible to change the display on your own and what problems the touchscreen has.

    4. How do I replace the touchscreen myself?

    What is a touchscreen?

    Touchscreen means “touch” – pressing and “screen” – the screen. That is, this is the part of the screen in the smartphone that determines your clicks. A touchscreen is also called a sensor.

    It is only used to recognize keystrokes. If the touchscreen does not work in the gadget, or they work involuntarily, then the touchscreen is broken. The display is responsible for the quality of the image and the display of the picture on the screen, it should not be confused with the touchscreen.

    What is the difference between a touchscreen and a display?

    Touchscreen – touch part responsible for recognizing clicks. The display is responsible for displaying information on the screen through pixel illumination. In other words, we press the touchscreen and look at the display. These two devices work together and are located one on top of the other. Together, this structure is commonly referred to as a screen and is protected by glass.

    This is why cracked glass can damage the quality of touch recognitions or the picture quality of a smartphone. Sometimes severely broken glass damages the touchscreen and display.

    How to replace the touchscreen?

    If the touchpad does not work well or refuses to accept pressing at all, it should be replaced. Fortunately, smartphones can be disassembled by yourself. It is not necessary to change the device or its screen in order to fix the touchscreen, it is enough to separate it and change it to a new one. Service departments and equipment repair centers are fully engaged in the replacement. There you can easily fix your smartphone for an additional fee. Usually the procedure takes a couple of hours for the master and a couple of days for the client. The price varies depending on the type of device and the complexity of the work (from $5 to $350 per service).

    Now the principle of screens without an interlayer, or “sandwich” body, has become popular. In this case, the touchscreen, display and glass are glued together, completely glued together with a transparent sealant over the entire plane.

    The so-called “laminating technology” is done for several reasons.

    • Firstly, such a screen has no interlayer and looks much better.
    • Secondly, it takes up less space and makes the smartphone thinner and more convenient.

    If the smartphone has such a screen, then it is impossible to replace only one part. In this case, you will have to change everything at once. This is usually the most expensive part in the device and is installed only in premium smartphones of well-known brands. This is easy to check – the glued screen does not have a layer of air inside and looks very thin, and when pressed there is no jelly effect.

    How do I replace the touchscreen myself?

    If you want to save money, you can replace the touchscreen yourself. Please note that such actions require some knowledge and skill. It is not recommended to perform this in case of doubt and lack of specialized equipment. If something is not done according to plan, then not only the smartphone screen, but also its battery board can be disabled – in this case, the repair will cost approximately the cost of a new device.

    A new screen must be purchased before replacement. They are sold both in offline stores on the streets of the city, and in online stores. You can often save a lot by buying online. Before buying, be sure to make sure that the display you are buying will fit your smartphone. Some devices have different types of screens, especially for the Chinese like Xiaomi and Meizu. Pay attention to the smartphone version and compare it with the screen version.

    If you have a new screen in hand, have the necessary equipment and enthusiasm, then you can start. Required for work: new display, hairdryer, screwdriver . First of all, turn off the smartphone and unscrew all the bolts on the frame (or open the back cover and unscrew everything there). Be sure to remember the location of the bolts, as they are different and will not fit in their sockets.

    Next, carefully slide a thin card or paperclip under the display. In order for this to work, the screen should be heated with a hairdryer and sprayed with alcohol on it.

    When slowly removing the display from the adhesive, carefully lift it up, but do not pull it out, as it is still on the cable. After successful removal, you need to pull out the battery.

    Then remove the cable protection. It is attached with bolts and latches. It all depends on the smartphone model, it is better to look at the disassembly of your smartphone before starting and repeat the steps from there.

    After removing the display, you can take a new one and put it in the same position and in the same place.

    Many devices have a function button and touch pads on the front. They will have to be removed from the old panel and put in a new one. This action is not difficult. We need to see what is missing on the new display and take the missing parts from the old one. After that, insert a new one into the smartphone and screw it on in the same way as the old display.

    After successfully connecting the cable, you need to check how the smartphone works. Turn it on and watch the sensor response. If everything is fine, then you can start gluing the screen with the case. You can use any superglue, but you can’t remove it back. For smartphones, silicone glue is used – and you need to use it. Such glue can be easily peeled off later by heating with a hair dryer.

    Don’t forget to tighten the screws and attach the display well to the housing. After the done actions, the touchscreen should work normally.

    How to calibrate the touchscreen

    Usually, after replacing the display, it is already calibrated and should work normally. However, there are situations when touch pressing occurs in the wrong place. There are several reasons for this problem: poor-quality replacement and damage to modules, non-optimized software and a damaged cable on the plan.

    Calibration is carried out by a software method through special applications on a smartphone. Apple IOS devices are not calibrated because they do it themselves. If there are problems with the sensor on an iPhone or iPad, it is a matter of poor-quality replacement or damaged hardware elements. Also, before making a conclusion, it is worth rebooting the device. The sensor may also not perform well due to extreme temperatures or moisture. In this case, you need to place the smartphone for a couple of hours (or better, a day) in a familiar and dry environment, such as a room. After a while, you can check the sensor.

    Android devices can be calibrated using software such as Clinometer, TouchScreenTune or Power Bubble. After downloading one of these programs from Google Play, just open them and follow the instructions. Calibration takes only a couple of minutes.

    FYI

    We have a new pick, the Speck Balance Folio, which we feel provides a good amount of protection for an expensive tablet.

    After spending at least $800 on an 11-inch iPad Pro or $1,100 on a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, you would be wise to protect your investment.

    You can find plenty of cheap cases, but if you can afford to spend a little more, it’s worth it to safeguard your extremely expensive tablet and its scratch-prone aluminum body.

    We’ve tested a number of cases for Apple’s newest iPad Pros, and we’ve found a few great options that offer a better balance of protection and price than Apple’s official cases do.

    The research

    • Our pick: Speck Balance Folio
    • The best cheap case: ESR Rebound Magnetic Case
    • Also great: Zugu Case
    • What about the Apple Smart Folio?
    • How we picked and tested
    • The competition

    Our pick: Speck Balance Folio

    Our pick

    Also available for these iPads:

    Why it’s great: Speck’s Balance Folio resembles a planner that hides your iPad Pro inside. The case provides excellent coverage, a storage slot for your Apple Pencil, and a protective interior liner. It also supports multiple viewing angles, has cutouts for all of your tablet’s ports, and protects against drops as far as 4 feet. The Balance Folio isn’t the cheapest iPad case you can buy, but its design and functionality make it the best option.

    The two-part case’s exterior is made of a polyester-like material that can help reduce scratches and dents, and it also has an antibacterial coating that promises to reduce the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

    It’s well designed for the price: The exterior cover flips open to reveal a solid plastic shell, which does the heavy lifting when it comes to actually protecting your iPad Pro. The hard interior has cutouts for the speakers, the USB-C port, the power button, and the volume buttons, as well as an Apple Pencil charging area. The plastic shell also houses the case’s stand, which lets you position the Balance Folio at eight different angles, seven for viewing and one for writing.

    The built-in camera shield is a nice touch: The shield, which is made of the same polyester-like material as the case to protect the iPad Pro’s lenses, is a flap with a magnetic closure that allows you to capture photos and videos without removing the case altogether.

    Flaws but not dealbreakers: Because the Apple Pencil has to snap magnetically to the right side, where the volume buttons are, the right edge of the iPad Pro is always exposed.

    Why it’s great: The ESR Rebound Magnetic Case is an Apple Smart Folio–like option available for half the price of that official case. It includes an Apple Pencil holder, too. If you’re on a budget, it’s a great way to cover your iPad Pro.

    The Rebound Magnetic Case is basically a generic version of Apple’s Smart Folio for the iPad Pro. The front trifold cover can put your iPad Pro in sleep/wake mode, and it can fold into two stand modes, one for viewing and one for writing. Unlike Apple’s entry-level case, this ESR case has a magnetic flap on the side that holds and charges your Apple Pencil while you’re on the go. The Rebound Magnetic Case is made entirely of TPU (a flexible, rubber-like plastic), and the pretty strong magnets keep an iPad Pro securely intact. It doesn’t feel like the most premium case, but it is lightweight and solid. It also grants you easy access to your tablet’s ports, buttons, and speakers.

    Flaws but not dealbreakers: In build and coverage, the ESR Rebound Magnetic Case is on a par with Apple’s Smart Folio. However, it doesn’t provide the complete protection offered by our previous pick, the ESR Rebound Slim Case, which is no longer available. This case is open at the iPad Pro’s top and bottom, as well as along a chunk of the right aluminum side, leaving it exposed and unprotected from spills and potential drops at those areas.

    Zugu Case for 11-inch iPad Pro

    This case offers lots of angles, great protection, and Apple Pencil support, with a distinct design.

    Also available for these iPads:

    Why it’s great: The Zugu Case (formerly known as the Alpha Case) offers more viewing angles than any other iPad Pro case we’ve seen, and it’s just as functional. This case is very protective, and it holds an Apple Pencil and allows the stylus to sync and charge. It makes the buttons especially clicky and pleasant to use, too. Though this case’s design is utilitarian, its features are unmatched.

    It works in a variety of viewing modes: The Zugu Case has a slim, standard folio-style design, with a faux-leather exterior and a rubber bumper around the outside edges. What sets this case apart from others is a series of recessed ridges on the front cover—eight on the 10.9- and 11-inch versions, and 10 on the 12.9-inch model. These ridges, in conjunction with a foldout stand on the back, serve to hold the iPad Pro at various angles, ranging from just shy of perpendicular (which is great for movie watching) to about 30 degrees off your desk (which works well for typing). In our tests, each stand angle was stronger than we expected, thanks to the feet fitting into the ridges as well as the magnets in both, which helped them snap into the right position.

    The case has a unique Apple Pencil feature: Though the Zugu Case allows an Apple Pencil to magnetically stick to the iPad Pro’s side, unlike many cases it doesn’t leave the tablet’s metal edge exposed. Instead, the case’s rubber is thin enough that it doesn’t block the wireless connection, so you can still sync and charge your stylus without risking damage to your iPad Pro’s aluminum. Instead of securing the Pencil in place with a magnetic flap, the case has an elastic pocket on the back that firmly holds the Pencil while you’re traveling. This design works well, but it’s not elegant.

    One additional small touch we like is how the cover nestles neatly into the lip around the tablet’s screen—and stays in place—thanks to magnets. A small tab above the right speaker makes it easy to lift out, but the lid otherwise stays put.

    Flaws but not dealbreakers: You may not love the way the Zugu Case looks—instead of the clean, flat surfaces you might be used to with most cases, there’s a lot going on here. From the ridges to the pockets to the foldout stand, the case’s functional features are quite obvious. If you’re more concerned about having useful features in your case than about showcasing the simplest design, you likely won’t mind. But if you prioritize aesthetics, this may not be the case for you.

    What about the Apple Smart Folio?

    Other than keyboard cases, the only case that Apple makes for the 2022 iPad Pros and the iPad Air are the Smart Folio for iPad Pro 11-inch, the Smart Folio for iPad Pro 12.9-inch, and the Smart Folio for iPad Air (5th generation). But “case” is a generous term here: The Smart Folio consists of a cover that sandwiches the tablet between two thin pieces of polyurethane, using magnets to attach to the back but leaving the top, bottom, and right edges of the tablet exposed. Considering how little protection this case offers, Apple’s pricing is exorbitant, at $80 for the smaller version and $100 for the bigger one at this writing.

    If you love the Apple Smart Folio design, we suggest that you save money (a lot, in fact) with our budget pick and choose ESR’s Rebound Magnetic Case for iPad Pro 11-inch, iPad Pro 12. 9-inch, or iPad Air (5th generation). The Rebound Magnetic Case is a nearly identical model that offers the same looks and functionality for a fraction of the price, and it even includes a magnetic flap to hold the case shut. We don’t normally recommend such obvious knockoffs, but this time we think it’s justified considering Apple’s pricing.

    How we picked and tested

    We’ve tested 27 cases for the iPad Pro using the same criteria we’ve used for other iPad case models. This time around, we ultimately found two designs that we liked, plus an inexpensive basic case.

    Here’s what we look for in a great iPad Pro case:

    • Protection: The case must cover the iPad’s corners and protect as many edges as possible from scrapes, as well as defend the shiny metallic bits that abrasive surfaces can scratch.
    • Front cover: The case should include a front cover that reliably triggers the iPad’s magnetic sleep/wake feature when you open or close it and that won’t shift around when shut. The cover must also stay closed when you’re not using the tablet.
    • Stand: The case must provide some sort of stable stand that supports both upright viewing and a lower-angle position for typing.
    • Apple Pencil support: The second-generation Apple Pencil magnetically attaches to the iPad Pro’s right edge; this is how it syncs and charges. We rule out any cases that don’t allow for this connection.
    • Size: The case must be unobtrusive—it should add little weight and not make the tablet hard to hold with one hand as you tap and swipe.
    • Button coverage: We prefer cases that cover the tablet’s side buttons. But since this feature isn’t especially common, we don’t consider it a requirement. (Because the buttons are usually recessed from the outside surface of the case, a lack of full button coverage isn’t a dealbreaker in terms of protection.)

    Once we narrow down a list of competitors, we test each one on both iPad Pro sizes, checking for fit and function.

    The competition

    The Spigen Tough Armor Pro is a tough TPU case that offers military-grade protection, a built-in kickstand, and an Apple Pencil holder, but Spigen doesn’t specify the drop protection, and the case offers zero protection for the iPad’s screen.

    The Spigen Rugged Armor Pro, another tough military-grade TPU case, offers a cover that folds into a kickstand. The rear portion isn’t as sturdy as on the Tough Armor Pro, however, and we wouldn’t trust it in any drops. While the Rugged Armor Pro’s back is made of TPU, it’s thinner and less sturdy than the TPU of the Tough Armor Pro.

    A budget synthetic-leather option, the DTTO Case offers an Apple Pencil holder and multiple viewing angles, but we didn’t feel confident enough in its sturdiness to try dropping an iPad Pro covered with it.

    The Torro Case is made of beautiful leather and supports multiple viewing angles, and it offers an Apple Pencil holder. Although it’s sturdier than the other leather case we tested, our picks offered more protection.

    OtterBox redesigned its Symmetry Series 360 Case, which has been a pick of ours in years past, for the 2021 and 2022 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models; the iPad Air (4th generation) model remains the same. In place of a flap to hold the Apple Pencil, the case now uses a slide-out mechanism that is conceptually kind of cool but introduces an unnecessarily breakable element.

    Pitaka’s MagEZ Case is made to work in concert with the Apple Magic Keyboard, providing the protection the keyboard accessory lacks. Unlike our picks, this mostly plastic case doesn’t have a lid; it snaps onto the tablet, leaving the screen and the left edge exposed but covering the other edges and the buttons. Across the back is an inlaid panel of aramid, the same fiber used to make Kevlar. Three metal contacts in the rear panel match up with the iPad Pro’s Smart Connector, which is necessary to connect to the Magic Keyboard. It’s nice to have the extra coverage, whether you’re using the keyboard or using the iPad Pro detached from it. But in light of the MagEZ Case’s price tag, we appreciate the concept more than we do the actual product.

    Speck’s Balance Folio Clear Case comes only in an 11-inch version, and the case doesn’t offer sync or charge access for the Apple Pencil.

    ESR’s Urban Premium Folio Case for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd and 4th generations) has a nice fabric exterior that makes it one of the better-looking inexpensive cases we’ve come across. And it includes full edge protection, save for an Apple Pencil cutout. Unfortunately, it lacks any sort of typing angle, and the two viewing angles aren’t very sturdy.

    The Moshi VersaCover for the 11-inch iPad Pro is conceptually similar to the OtterBox Symmetry Series 360 Case. This case has a translucent plastic back, rubber around the edges, and room for the Apple Pencil to sync and charge. The origami-like folding lid offers a portrait-viewing angle in addition to the standard landscape typing and viewing positions. But we found that the case’s corners pop away from the tablet during normal use, which is particularly annoying. Though we don’t think the case will just fall off, you should pick one that stays on better.

    FYI

    After testing cases for Apple’s latest entry-level iPad, we chose the ESR Ascend Hybrid Case as our new top pick.

    A good iPad case is surprisingly hard to come by these days. But thankfully you can find a protective, functional, and relatively good-looking protector for about the price of a burrito and chips at Chipotle (including the upcharge for guac). The ESR Ascend Hybrid Case is our new favorite affordable case for the latest 10th-generation iPad. For older iPads, ESR’s Rebound Slim Case comes in many sizes and would be an attractive option at even twice the price. If you have a 6th-generation iPad mini, we recommend the nearly identical MoKo Ultra-Slim Soft Back Cover Case.

    Our pick

    ESR’s Ascend Hybrid Case is a slim and lightweight TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) case made for the 10th-generation iPad that offers complete protection with ideal port and speaker cutouts. It includes a designated area to hold the Apple Pencil, two viewing angles, and a detachable magnetic cover.

    Advertisement

    Our pick

    ESR’s Rebound Slim Case is the best inexpensive option for protecting the iPad (7th, 8th, and 9th generation). It’s a basic folio design with a protective case that fits around the tablet and a front cover that protects the screen. Instead of the hard-plastic protective shell that most cheap cases use, it employs a flexible, more durable TPU material. As a result, it holds up better to chipping than otherwise comparable cases.

    Why you should trust us

    Staff writer Roderick Scott has been reviewing iPad cases from 2017’s 9. 7-inch iPad all the way through present models of Apple’s tablets. For the latest update to this guide, Roderick tested seven iPad cases from multiple companies. Previous versions of this guide featured contributions from Wirecutter’s Nick Guy.

    How we picked and tested

    The (5th- and 6th-generation) iPad cases we tested. Photo: Kyle Fitzgerald

    To find the best iPad cases, we looked to big-name, established accessory makers, including companies such as Griffin Technology, Incipio, and Speck. We also searched Amazon, restricting our search to the best-selling cases and those that had more than 100 reviews with a customer rating of four stars or higher.

    If you’re saving money by buying an entry-level iPad, you probably don’t want to spend $100 or more on a case. Because you have so many cheap cases to choose from, it can be daunting to figure out which ones are actually good.

    We also had particular requirements that helped us narrow down our results:

    • The case must cover the iPad’s corners and protect its edges from scrapes, as well as shield the shiny metallic bits that abrasive surfaces can scratch.
    • The case needs to include a front cover that reliably triggers the iPad’s magnetic sleep/wake feature when opened or closed and doesn’t shift around when shut. The latter is important for protection reasons, because if the screen cover moves, the screen could potentially be damaged. But it’s also important for battery life: Assuming the case triggers the iPad’s sleep/wake feature, a loose cover would wake the tablet during transit, causing battery drain. The cover must also stay closed when you’re not using the tablet.
    • The case must provide some sort of stable stand that supports both upright viewing and a lower-angle position for typing.
    • The case must be unobtrusive—it must add little weight but still be easy to hold with one hand as you tap and swipe.
    • We prefer cases that cover the tablet’s side buttons, but because this feature isn’t especially common, we don’t consider it a requirement. (Since the buttons are usually recessed from the outside surface of the case, a lack of full button coverage isn’t a dealbreaker in terms of protection.)

    For each case we tested, we first measured for thickness and weight. We tested the cover to make sure its stand positions were stable, that it stayed in place while closed (even when jostled), and that it didn’t flop open when we turned the iPad upside down. We then used each pick for at least a week—and in most cases much longer—to confirm that annoyances didn’t pop up in everyday use.

    The best cheap case for iPad (10th generation): ESR Ascend Hybrid Case

    Our pick

    Unlike many iPad folio cases, it doesn’t leave the sides exposed. This flexible plastic case is slim, lightweight, and durable, and it protects the iPad’s aluminum rails along the top, bottom, and sides. The Ascend Hybrid Case covers your entire iPad with cutouts for the power button, speaker grills, and USB-C port. The volume buttons are covered as part of the case. The power button can be accessed via a deep cutout, but you have to dig in to access the button’s built-in fingerprint reader. The sides and corners of the Ascend Hybrid Case are armed with shock-absorbing sides and air guard corners to better protect against any accidents.

    The Ascend Hybrid Case is designed to protect your iPad. It has a transparent back that somewhat resembles plexiglass at a glance, but it’s actually made of a clear polycarbonate (a tougher form of plastic) that is scratch resistant. The deep camera cutout protects the lens with a flexible plastic border, like the power button cutout. This allows you to set your iPad down without worrying about smudging or damaging the camera.

    It allows you to use your iPad in multiple modes. The front folio cover works like that of any other trifold iPad case, with magnets that put your iPad in wake/sleep mode when you open and close it. The trifold cover folds behind your iPad and transforms into two stand positions for viewing and writing angles. The cover also detaches and reattaches magnetically, which allows you to use the iPad without a cover. ESR calls this Game Mode, which is ideal for playing games like Asphalt 9 or Fruit Ninja on your iPad without having to deal with the cover.

    The best cheap case for iPad (7th, 8th, and 9th generation): ESR Rebound Slim Case

    Our pick
    Our pick

    It has a basic design, but it’s more protective than most cheap cases. The shell that protects the tablet’s body is TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane, a flexible plastic) rather than the more brittle, hard plastic that almost every other case uses.

    The ESR Rebound Slim Case is flexible, which makes installation easy and prevents chips or cracks. Photo: Sarah Kobos

    TPU is a good material for cases for a number of reasons, the most important of which is durability. We’ve seen complaints of hard-plastic iPad shells cracking and chipping, something that simply doesn’t happen with TPU. We expect the Rebound Slim Case to look unscathed after many months and even years of use, as much as we would with our favorite TPU iPhone cases. The Rebound Slim Case is also a bit more flexible than a traditional plastic case, meaning installation and removal are easier, but ESR has ensured that the fit is still tight enough that the case won’t pull away from the iPad’s edges on its own. And the design has enough give that the case can offer full button protection without sacrificing the clicky feeling when you turn the tablet on or change the volume.

    The TPU shell of the ESR Rebound Slim Case easily fits onto the tablet without coming loose. Photo: Sarah Kobos

    It gets the job done. The front cover magnetically locks and unlocks the iPad, holds its triangular stand position when folded, and supports the standard typing and viewing angles. Those magnets are also strong enough to hold the cover shut even when the iPad is upside down. All sizes of the case come in various colors, some with translucent backs and others that are opaque.

    The attention to detail is noteworthy. We appreciate how precise all the openings are—not only are the microphone and camera properly centered in their openings, but each speaker hole has an individual cutout that lines up perfectly.

    ESR doesn’t make the Rebound Slim Case for the 6th-generation iPad mini, but we recommend MoKo’s Ultra-Slim Soft Back Cover Case, which has the same design and materials.

    Why use a case?

    The iPad is essentially a slate of delicate electronics sandwiched between two fragile materials: breakable glass and scratchable, dentable aluminum. In addition to the potential of dropping it, you need to consider the risk of damage from keys, coins, or whatever else might be floating around in your bag. Spending some extra money to protect hardware that costs at least $300 makes sense, especially since an out-of-warranty screen repair costs hundreds of dollars.

    In addition, a big advantage of many iPad cases, and particularly those we looked at for this guide, is their functionality above and beyond simple protection: They can actually improve the experience of using an iPad instead of detracting from it. For example, many cases have some sort of built-in stand feature so you can prop the tablet into positions suitable for typing or movie viewing. This means that for occasional use, you don’t have to spend money or bag space on a separate stand.

    Spending some extra money to protect hardware that costs at least $300 makes sense, especially since an out-of-warranty screen repair costs hundreds of dollars.

    That said, many cases, including some of our picks, have a screen cover that folds into a triangle to act as a stand, and this sort of trifold stand isn’t very stable. If you plan on doing a lot of upright viewing (such as watching movies or propping your iPad on a desk while you use it with a Bluetooth keyboard), we recommend our pick for an inexpensive iPad stand, Anozer’s Tablet Stand, for a better experience. It’s small and light, so it’s easy to toss in your bag, and it works with all the cases we recommend.

    The competition

    iPad (10th generation)

    JETech’s Magnetic Case for iPad 10 is a solid folio case that attaches to your iPad with magnets. The ESR Ascend Hybrid Case offers more protection.

    Spigen’s Rugged Armor Pro is slightly more expensive than the other cases we tested. The case’s back, made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), is flimsier than we’d like it to be.

    iPad (7th, 8th, and 9th generation)

    MoKo’s Ultra Slim for this iPad model has a hard plastic back, which can break more easily than our recommended case’s TPU back, so it shouldn’t be your first choice. The same goes for ESR’s Ascend Trifold Case.

    Zugu’s iPad 10.2 Case is a great case but priced slightly higher than others we found in this category. You might like it if you want something that’ll also hold the Apple Pencil and provides plenty of viewing angles.

    iPad mini (5th generation)

    The only protector Apple makes for this iPad is the iPad mini Smart Cover. The polyurethane Smart Covers come in four colors and protect only the tablets’ screens, not their bodies.

    Urban Armor Gear’s Metropolis Series iPad Mini Case is a more-expensive and more-protective case. The company says the Metropolis meets military drop-test standards, although it doesn’t offer button protection. UAG’s aesthetic has never been our favorite, but if you like the features, this case could be worth the extra money.

    Cases for iPad from 999 UAH

    In order for the equipment to serve for a long time, it is important to choose the right accessories for it. Especially when it comes to a tablet, because it is actively used in various life scenarios. An original iPad case is the best choice if you want to protect your favorite device as reliably as possible. And also – to support the unique corporate identity of the brand.

    How to choose an iPad case?

    The main function of this case is protection. Therefore, it is important to make sure that it exactly matches the dimensions of the device, sits tightly, but does not squeeze it.

    In addition to dimensions, consider the weight of the product. If the gadget is often transported, we recommend that you look at the lightest models possible.

    Please review the specifications of the case carefully to make sure it is compatible with your tablet model. Pay special attention to the location of the functional holes – they should leave all connectors open.

    Form factor

    Another important factor is the shape of the iPad case. Here, user convenience and modes of use come to the fore.

    Original cases from Apple are produced in such forms that guarantee the greatest security and make work comfortable:

    • book – protects the gadget from all sides and opens like a book;
    • stand – the design includes several additional sectors that fold up and form a support. This allows you to place the device at an angle that is comfortable for watching videos, chatting or working;
    • Keyboard – The Apple iPad keyboard case is perfect for those users who type a lot and want to do it with the greatest convenience. An indispensable accessory to quickly respond to messages, conduct business or friendly correspondence, wherever you are;
    • smart-case is a special category of cases, equipped with various additional functions. For example, a magnetic charge that automatically puts the tablet into a sleeping state as soon as you attach it to the case. When the cover is opened, the device will enter the operating mode.

    The price of an iPad case primarily depends on the form factor and functionality.

    Material

    The iPad case is available in a variety of materials or combinations. The most popular are:

    • plastic – the most affordable, lightweight, flexible;
    • silicone – good cushioning, thin and light;
    • toughened polycarbonate – durable and UV resistant;

    Case design for Apple iPad

    The appearance of the accessory should be given special attention. The iPad is a gadget with a minimalistic design. It can be emphasized with the same noble-neutral case, or vice versa – bright. Pay attention to the following parameters:

    • style direction – choose the style that will best fit with your lifestyle. Spectacular models can be selected in a classic style, casual or sporty;
    • texture – you should pay special attention to it, because tactile sensations are important when using the gadget frequently. The surface of the cover can be rough or smooth, glossy, matte or a combination;
    • color – focus on those shades that evoke pleasant emotions and will be appropriate for your use cases.
