What is Break-In...and Why Does It Matter?

One of the Most Overlooked Aspects in Audio

Tri-Phazers will make some drastic improvements in your system’s performance, that much is guaranteed. But the process does take time, and that time can vary due to the “Break-In” process that must occur.

But what is “Break-In,” why does it matter, and why do we have to wait for it?

What is Break-In?

To best understand how "System Break-In" works, try and liken it to human muscles learning the mechanics of a new sport.

A new sport requires someone to learn a host of new actions, reactions, and muscle motions that may be foreign to the body. It will take some time fo the brain and muscles to coordinate together to adjust and acclimate in such manner that it becomes almost second nature.

The same principle can be applied to the flow of electricity between amplifier and speakers:

Think of your audio system as the brain, and the speakers as muscles, connected via the wires, or nerves.

Impulses are sent from the brain to muscles, telling them how to react, just as electrical energy is sent from the audio system to the speakers.

That electrical energy is then converted to mechanical motion by the speaker in the same manner as a muscle converts nerve impulses to motion.

Speakers, much like human muscles, must learn to react and adjust accordingly to specific impulses and energy. This process takes time to learn, and is known as a “Re-Break-In Period.”
