Schoeps omnidirectional microphones, Sonosax mic interface, 4K Iphone, it should be show what is happening in the room!

Videos will be posted on Totaldac Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMsrJl1A6snsuSjfbAH6rZA

I will also try to post some uncompressed/unmodified 96KHz/24 master files of real musicians playing in this room.

I will record 3 speakers in two different rooms: Totaldac d150-anniversary, Magico M6s and a large bass horn system.

Be ready!

What is this impedance matching box? Sounds like a typical Zobel network

It is a box connected in parallel to the speaker.

Interesting, Dynaudio was also known to tune their crossovers for flat impedance using parallel networks. Do you also have phase plots?
