Hi all,
I am currently using Genelec active monitors 8340 LCR & 8330 in 5.2 set up with 2 SVS 12" sb-12nsd subs run by Yamaha AVR. I am using GLM software in Genelecs for room correction.
A few days ago, I started setting up MiniDSP DDRC24 with Dirac Live for subwoofer correction. Since I am still learning on the measurements world, could you please help me with following questions:
1. Attached is the DIRAC correction picture. How do you interpret the target curve given by DIRAC?. Do you see any improvements that can be made? After using DIRAC, I noticed that the bass intensity went down in comparison to not using DIRAC but on the cons the bass was more refined/uniform across frequencies. One can hear that. Looking forward to help from experts who can read/ interpret measurements.
2. Attached is another picture of DDRC24 I am still confused how to know if DIRAC is on from the buttons. It is confusing. Am I correct by saying that Dirac is in use if the button is grey - "DIRAC LIVE OFF" and Dirac is not in use if the button is pink - "Dirac Live On"?
3. As one can see in the measurement, it is measured till 300HZ and then it rolls off. Currently I am setting the speakers as Small with cross over set as 90HZ. But for music, I plan to use Raspberry PI3 with Topping D10s to connect to Genelecs via SPIDF-AES cable and then use a Toslink to connect to subs. In this case the Toslink will carry full range signal. In Genelec GLM, I will set a bass crossover of 90HZ or a high pass filter at 90HZ so that it does not received below 90. On the other hand, should I set a low pass filter of 120HZ in Dirac? Is it necessary or is it ok to send a full range and the subwoofer will automatically start rolling off after 300 HZ.
Here is a pic of my room with Subwoofer set up.
Thanks a lot for the help!
