    Dirac live vs Acourate vs Audiolense

    Sounds like a v capable setup by any measure. What do you mean by "another device" in your stereo chain? Isn't just a change to your Acourate config or do you mean "more speakers" by device?

    Dirac live vs Acourate vs Audiolense

    it sounds like it would be easier, and possibly simpler, to dedicate 1 or more subs to the v low end; i.e. a mono sub to something like 30-40Hz (or whatever) and then treat the next subs as a woofer. Do you use those Pro audio tech speakers in your 2 channel system? just curious where you cross...

    Subwoofer 2.2 vs. 2.1 REW measurements

    Yes that's right. JRiver has 2 Parametric Equaliser stages so you can drag one to execute before convolution, i.e. on the input (source) channels, and one to execute after convolution, i.e. on the output channels. Audio path does show it yes, for example this shows my use of the 2 PEQ stages...

    Subwoofer 2.2 vs. 2.1 REW measurements

    remember that once you have such measurements then you can accurately sum them after the fact (i.e. use trace arithmetic in REW) which means you are normally measuring one channel (which could be multiple subs but still) at a time. The convolution problem can be dealt with by simply routing the...

    Subwoofer 2.2 vs. 2.1 REW measurements

    do you do a single seat measurement in audiolense or multiseat? I use acourate & have been playing with trying to correct the phase response of a passive speaker recently. The thing I like about acourate is the seemingly bottomless pit of things to experiment with (albeit if you know how to...

    Subwoofer 2.2 vs. 2.1 REW measurements

    can you reduce the y axis scale to be consistent with the earlier plots? 170dB is rather wide, makes it hard to see what is going on

    Subwoofer 2.2 vs. 2.1 REW measurements

    the waterfall has a 30dB range but the FR has a 60dB range so the former will naturally look more uneven

    Subwoofer 2.2 vs. 2.1 REW measurements

    that sounds like it should work yes. Note that the only limitation is that the timing is based on the impulse peaks so if you try to match a low pass against a high pass then you'll just get fail as your end product :) to give a concrete example, I run a 5.1 setup where output 1-6 = physical...

    Subwoofer 2.2 vs. 2.1 REW measurements

    FWIW one little publicised feature in REW is that there is no requirement for an output signal when using a loopback timing reference, you just need to get the signal to the specified input channel. This is where a mixer app & a loopback capability in your ASIO driver comes in v handy as it...

    Dirac live vs Acourate vs Audiolense

    You can take a measurement of your room and send it to uli along with a couple of tracks, he will then return the convolved versions for you to listen to. Details here - http://www.audiovero.de/en/acourate-test-for-free--.html Completely agree re Uli, he is a very thorough and patient teacher...

    Dirac live vs Acourate vs Audiolense

    I have used acourate in my setup for ~8 months or so now & am extremely happy with it. I have not compared to the other products for a few reasons; dirac seemed rather inflexible for my needs (I wanted to be able to use something on linux as well), I had read of some individuals moving from...
