    Anybody used Honeycomb-Core Plywood?

    Was just browsing FB marketplace the other day and spotted some for sale. The sheets were 20mm thick, dimension 990 x 1560mm, and the description; Plywood Honeycomb Core Panel is a new type of innovative 3 layers composite panel, with two plywood (wood) sheets as skins & an honeycomb core...

    Elac Debut F6.3 floor speaker

    I just watched that video, and yer, they do look pretty good. I don't know for sure, but I imagine that style of bass roll-off makes subwoofer integration easier. The reason I came to post is about the "felt/vinyl textured front" these have. I don't know if it's the exact same material, but I...

    Anybody tried to "hack" an OEM DSP circuit from an active speaker?

    Interesting. There's a lot for me to investigate there, but I will definitely check it out. After a quick search, I noticed that amirm reviewed such a board. Comparing that board to the one I labelled, it would seem that 8pin2 and 8pin3 are the 2 channels of balanced of output, and that the 6...

    Anybody tried to "hack" an OEM DSP circuit from an active speaker?

    I was just browsing some local stores and saw some RCF Ayra Pro speakers for pretty cheap, and they have "FIR 0-phase DSP" - so presumably a decent "DSP chip" inside them. And that got me wondering, if people are selling these with blown speakers/amps/etc, that maybe the DSP part of it could be...

    Kali Audio IN-8v2 (Second Wave) 3-Way Studio Monitor Review

    I guess it's possible that the built-in DSP did not have any more "capacity". But I agree with your followup comment in that the in-room response is pretty good. The crappy response over ~13kHz is not that important, and there's always going to some level of "anomaly" in the range where the coax...

    Behringer Studio XL Monitor Controller

    I tested the DAC on my Monitor2USB, and it seems to perform similar to this one, in that it clips badly at "max". However, the manual does say to operate it "between 20 and 80", and the performance seems close enough to the specs when used like that. It seems a common trend that Behringer DAC's...

    Behringer Studio XL Monitor Controller

    Could there be a problem with these drivers? Maybe it's worth trying the standard windows usb device output/driver? I've got the smaller Monitor 2, which seems to have the same design (buttons, knobs, etc). I've used it a few times and it seems okay, but I haven't set that system up properly...

    Any way to model a woofer in an open tube?

    My original post was asking about the internal side of a ported enclosure, not the external/output side where it would be a horn. Perhaps this graphic will do a better at asking my question... If the 3 boxes on the left all have the same driver, volume, and port tuning, then I would think...

    Double Bass Array (DBA)

    It's not about improving a "wide area", it's about the elimination of the resonances, which is equivalent to improved bass decay. This fixes the peaks and nulls that are a result of room modes. The need to have a symmetrical array on the ends-walls is so that the side-wall and ceiling/floor...

    Need a silent windows 10 capable source to stream tidal over usb to dx3 pro

    I have an older version connected to my TV and stereo (MeLE PCG02), and it does the job. I don't know anything about Tidal, but since someone else mentioned silent windows laptops, then I will offer up something different - silent Chromebooks! It just so happens that Linus Tech Tips did a video...

    Audient EVO 16 interface - 8 balanced outputs + volume knob + display

    SP8 doesn't seem to have any smarts, and it's almost as expensive as the Evo 16, so it only seems a good buy if you need to extend Evo 16 to "24 analogue". For not much more money you can get various MiniDSP models (eg the miniDSP Flex), which have various inputs and do DSP on the device. Or...

    Any way to model a woofer in an open tube?

    This is all just a brain fart, but I was thinking about the "horn" aspect of it a bit more, because a horns driver projects down the tube/horn, and that's what you hear. I was originally considering the external sound to be the main sound, like a box speaker. Then I was thinking what would...

    Any way to model a woofer in an open tube?

    I've heard of it. I guess I'll have to check it out. Just whipped this one up for a chuckle. Get a 3m tube of 150mm PVC, cut it in half (1.5m each), woofer on one end, an adapter or a cap on the other end with a small tube attached (it could stick out, or stick in and lose a half a liter), and...

    Any way to model a woofer in an open tube?

    Just wondering what it would do? I've got some old 6.5" woofers here and was mucking around with winISD to get a box design so that I could try them out as "cardioid" helpers with my bookshelfs. But then I just had the thought - what would the drivers do in an open tube? Kind of like the LXmini...

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    Nah. Most subs should be "flat" in the sense that their output should conform to the box tuning and filter slopes etc. The reason they don't measure that way in-room is because of the reflections making either peaks or nulls. ART is cancelling those reflections, which means it should be pulling...

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    What? I haven't been paying attention to the conversation, so I've really no idea what you're implying. ART fixes timing issues (reflections etc), which improves the frequency response. Did you read at least a page or 2 after the post I quoted? Because that's when I looked at the users mdat...

    Dirac ART is now running on beta FW for Denon Xx800H AVRs!

    When you think outside the box, it turns out there is no box! (To be fair, I don't actually know this science, I just know I read it :p)

    Visualizing How Different Loudspeaker LF Directivity Patterns Couple to Room Modes

    I haven't read all the other responses yet, but... Lol, I was trying to bait you in to doing it. It must be a common problem because I've already got a big list of things to dabble with too :p Is there anything relevant/useful in this project (code/tech wise) that could be pilfered? - ROOM...
