    Stereo Sub Vs Dual Mono

    Yes, it is 5 loudspeakers (10 channels) in 5 closed volumes DIY box for differents uses. If we define the speakers as A,B,C,D and E from left to right, C is used as center mid/tweeter and B and D as center bass for multichannel. We are planning future uses such as stereo dipole with B and D, or...

    Stereo Sub Vs Dual Mono

    Following Griesinger's recommandations, we tried to place subwoofers (grouped front+left, back+right) so to excite different low frequency modes but keeping L+R summation relatively flat, see picture (L is blue, R is red, L+R is black)

    Stereo Sub Vs Dual Mono

    In Igor's system, the subwoofers receive signals lower than about 75Hz

    Best Matrix Processor besides qsc core 110f? Replacement for Ashly Protea 24.24M

    I've installed many Xilica Solaro in stereo or 5.1 (Solaro QR1) up to 32 channels immersiv setups (Solaro FR1) : the DSP is quite as versatile and configurable as QSC Core110f. Only its FIR capability is a bit less : 4096 taps per channel for Solaro against 8192 taps for Core110. But QR1 is less...

    The quest for my hyper speaker - Very Large room dilemma

    I never had opportunity to compare side by side BlueHorn and Designer, so I cannot comment. But the Designer model with a competent EQ (IIR or FIR) is a superb solution, and much cheaper.... I also heard TAD in pro studios but I was more impressed by Designer's balanced timbre and dynamics...

    The quest for my hyper speaker - Very Large room dilemma

    In Aliqaz's room, a pair of Meyer Acheron Designer with one or two Meyer subwoofers would be a very nice system, linear and (very) powerfull. No JBL (ie M2) can give you same levels without distortion (Meyer mid/hi is a 4 inches driver !)

    Which one is correct? 85 dB SPL or 83 dB SPL from Bob Katz Level Practices

    Most explanations above seem to be a bit wrong. To be in conformity with SMPTE RP standards, the level at listening position for a front channel should be 85dBC when playing SMPTE-2095 pink noise with RMS value at -22dBFSD (Full Scale Digital). This SMPTE-2095 pink noise has a crest factor of...

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    POS did a simple toggle switch connected to QSC GPI input to change presets or other parameters manually. The QSC box is very different : it is an ABX switchbox with remote and display with statistics of right/wrong responses. Not a lot were built by QSC but by chance, I have one ;) I have used...

    Never Put Subwoofers In Corners... Even with DSP and Multi-Sub Setups?

    In Igor'system, here is the topic, we use 4 SVS PC2000 subwoofers more or less in middle of walls. We did many comparisons with various positions, DBA, global or unitary EQ, etc... With the QSC processor and the GUI screen, it is very easy to switch each on/of subwoofer, compare EQs or...

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    In our case, from analog input to analog output and without FIR, the delay is near 3.17ms. With our 8192 taps FIR and uncentered FIR impulse, the total delay is 45ms.

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    I had a look to your interesting methods. I'm using a signal similar to your single sines : it is 5 single sine burst with the middle of each sine separated to the next by a known number of samples. This gives following graphs. More explanations can be found in...

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    Synchonisation clock : we use the QSys internal clock. It is the same for all DSP channels and I see not reason why there would be any drift between channels. The time alignement has been measured at listener place and aligned for all channels and speakers at 0.1ms (maybe 0.2ms for subwoofers...

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    The diagram looks a bit complicated because it has been designed to listen and compare many possibilities : - without/with FIR/IIR EQ for front/subs/surrounds - compare various EQ - switch between music and movie (X-curve) together with LFE level at +10dB - compare 1/2/3/4 subs - compare real...

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    The Qsys is limited to 8192 taps and you can only do 2x8192taps. I think that more taps is not allways wise : it may give you a better precision in lower frequencies but the calculated correction will then be wrong when temperature/humidity/opened doors, etc... change. There are many ways in the...

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    The QSC Core110f was chosen because of three main features : number of outputs, totally configurable schematics and possibility to import custom FIR filters (ie 2x8192 taps). There are not so many processors that can be used : - Yamaha DME24/64 have no FIR filters and user interface is a bit...

    Sound engineer's monitoring and HiFi + HT system with active Yamaha NS-1000x, multi-subs and FIR QSys processor in a particular and treated room

    I took part to most technical choices in Igor's system. On the amplifier side, the Rotel and Hypex were allready used. I choose the Crown because of its 1U compacity for 8 channels and no cooling fans, so no noise. Its sound was no real criteria because for me, all correct amplifiers sound the...
