I'm curious if you are going to consider (both) Long walls during your placement evaluation?
Might as well.
If possible, taking some kind of room acoustics related measurements will be beneficial in confirming which placement actually is better than the other.
Hello,
I didn't see it mentioned but what is the format, Bit/Sample Rate of the music files being used? Are they .MP3 files, or are they Lossless files?
Its possible that the Audio system in the new vehicle is much better than the last vehicle and you can now hear all the warts and or lack of...
I'm curious if any instruments were used along the way during the setup process or if its all being done by ear? Maybe something as simple as an SPL meter or maybe an SPL meter with signal sweeps being played back so you could see/confirm changes taking place?
I've witnessed in my own room...
OK. so it does sound like you may be talking about "boxes" with built-in DSP functionality. One example being an AV Integrated Amp/Receiver but I understand that there are other higher end examples.
But the point being; one of the many problems with those devices is that you are typically left...
I can understand your disappointment with using DSP but its unclear to me what the signal chain looked like in your system while playing with DSP? This is in reference to your mentioning that there is no "Bypass" for Higher Freqs?
If you are talking about using a Turn Table as the Source then...
IMO...If you currently like how your gear sounds in your room but you have never actually took the time or had an interest in measuring the room/gear to verify if what you are hearing isn't just a bunch of room anomalies "Enhancing" the sound of the musical content beyond what the original...
This statement is one that I see often on the Web but unfortunately its not that simple. If you want to do it right you should do all the above & use DSP. Without using DSP while using Subs you are only getting a half baked cake. Relying only on those physical dials/knobs will only get you so...
Hello, yes the main tower speakers still contain the built-in Analog x-overs. I guess I haven't found the courage to physically remove/replace them yet for an exclusive all Active x-over configuration. I suspect my courage would increase greatly if by some chance Magico stops selling parts for...
Hello,
Yes you are correct. I am using a Multi-Channel DAC (Merging HAPI) feeding Pass Labs Mono's for the main towers along with 3 powered Subs....Details in Sig if interested.
@sigbergaudio ...Hopefully you don't take my posts as an attempt at soiling on your product. That is not my...
Yes, you are correct, I am doing that DSP/Digital X-Over work using external software and utilizing the music servers processing power to crunch the numbers before it arrives at the ETH Input of my DAC.
I think a hurdle for some (Me included) when it comes to using Actives in their already...
Hello and thanks for your detailed reply. I appreciate it.
I'll admit that I did suspect your answer would mention that the Analog Input signal would be converted to D again.
There are very few "Active" speakers on the market these days that maintain the Analog signal at the speaker Input.
I...
Hello,
For the price point being considered using the example of the Used REL above I would instead look to new Rythmik Subs.
The Rythmik Subs are Sealed Direct Servo style units (ie..Very Clean Sounding) and offer some nice built-in tuning features that many other Subs options on the market...
Hello,
I have looked thru your web page and documentation for the Manta but was unable to determine the answer to a question that came to mind.
If someone feeds the speaker an Analog XLR Output signal from an external DAC or Pre-Amp does that signal remain in the Analog Domain (From End to...
