HI-NEST B-52 Digital Stereo Amplifier / How To Tune Amplifiers


Received lot of inquiries about the stock availability of  the  HI-NEST B-52 Digital Stereo Amplifier.

Yes stock is available now. You may call 012-3173811 to purchase.



HI-Nest B-52 is not an ordinary Amplifier. It was created and designed to play high quality Swiftlet sounds. As I had written in my previous articles before , I wanted an Amplifier than could produce sharp and high quality Swiftlet sounds  (frequencies ). B-52 Amplifier is tuned to Swiftlet frequency.

Lately, I've received many calls and emails from my readers regarding sound system in Swiftlet farms .  They want to know how to tune the Hi-Nest B-52 Amplifier and how to use the GS-18 and the TX-20 tweeters effectively with the B-52 Amplifier. They want to attract young birds to stay in their farms. 

Swiftlet sounds come in many different frequencies. The chirping sounds of adult birds are different from those of young birds (chicks), the chirping sound from  Swiftlets laying eggs is different from those that are mating and so on. They have different characteristics, rhythms, pitches,tone, etc. 

All these sounds have different meanings and they are used for communicate with other birds. The pitches and tones are different. If you had listened and studied Swiftlet sounds long enough you would understand the meaning of each sound. Well it is not easy but it can be done and I am a good example of it. I had learned this through my many years of listening and remixing Swiftlet sounds for my customers/readers.

With all these knowledge it really helps in Swiftlet sound editing and remixing. When I make a new Swiftlet sounds, I know which and what sounds should be included in the remix and what shouldn't be included. Here you can't do a guessing game. Any error of including unfamiliar sounds in the remix would chase away birds and deter them from entering the Swiftlet farm.




Tuning and setting the Amplifier for a specific use is very important. HI-Nest B-52 Amplifier can be used for both Internal and External. All you need to do is to have a different setting ( tuning) for each Internal and External.

All purchases of HI-Nest B-52 Amplifier come with a Tune Setting instruction leaflet. The red shades on the instruction leaflet is to prevent duplication (copy).

Don't worry about not knowing how to tune the  HI-Nest B-52 amplifier. The above leaflet shall be provide for every purchase or you could call me anytime and I am more than willing to teach you how to tune your HI-Nest B-52 Amplifier.

It is highly recommended that the HI-Nest B-52 Amplifier to be used with the GS-18 and TX-20 Tweeters. 

When we designed the Hi-Nest B-52 Amplifier . We also wanted a set of high quality tweeters to support the same frequency produced by the Hi-Nest B-52 Amplifier. Therefore the GS-18 and the TX-20 tweeters were created. These Tweeters could accommodate the power and frequency of the Amplifier thus producing clear and sharp quality sound.

Secondly, never overload the Amplifier. Once an Amplifier is overloaded, its lifespan will be shorten. It would still play, perhaps a month, 3 months , 5 months . You would never know when it would breakdown.

" How many Amplifiers are needed in a 3 Storey Swiftlet farm?". This is often asked by readers.
Well, my recommendation is 4 Amplifiers. Each floor has one Amplifier to play an Internal sound and one Amplifier for the whole farm to play an External sound. With such formation, in the event, if one of the Internal Amplifiers breakdown the remaining 2 Amplifiers will  be still playing. In such case you don't have to worry about the whole Swiftlet farm is without sound.

"How many Internal Tweeters should a 3 storey Swiftlet farm have?"  It depends on the size of a Swiftlet farm, also it depends on the design of the nesting plank. Some Nesting plank formation have more vertical planks. Some have smaller space between planks and so on. As a rule of thumb, for a size of 20x60ft averagely it should have 80-120 tweeters. Then again all subjected to the Planking design. Remember too few it won't attract birds to stay and build nests. Too many it will chase away birds as it confuses them.

Good Swiftlet farming All!
