Has there been any report of catastrophic failures (like 0dB volume, DC, loud pops, etc.) with the DM7?

Your minidsp will resample to “his” 96kHz anyway, this cannot be avoided.

Both channels of a pair of headphones (be it over or in ear) *definitly* need to have the same polarity.

That is a weird issue for sure. Have you tried other storage devices (flash drive, RAM disk, etc.)? Just in case: to reinstall rephase you first need to wipe out its files in the temp directory. Look for a directory starting with "par-" and delete it before running rephase again.

Is the file larger than 10MB?

Yes, Pro Q3 does a very good job at decramping, but uses the strange convention of Q=1 instead of 0.707 for Butterworth filters.

Here is the set of filters I have made for one of my plugins: gain +2dB high pass 18Hz Q=0.4 high pass 270Hz Q=0.32 low pass 12kHz Q=0.5 The resulting curve (in red, over) is ±0.3dB compared to the 1/3 octave reference table (in blue, under). This should be enough to get SPL readings to your...

@JohnYang1997 Things can be made to handle worst case scenarios, like having conservative default volume settings so that a reset of user settings (due to a firmware bug or an hardware failure) does not lead to a catastrophic failure of both the drivers (earphones, loudspeakers) and the driven...

@JohnYang1997, regarding my first question, what is the factory default volume setting? Is it 0dB, or -Inf dB, or something like -60dB maybe? I ask this question because this is the volume the amp might revert to if it does loose (or fail to load) its user settings.

Hi @JohnYang1997, Thank you for taking the time to answer questions here! Two questions if I may, sorry if these were already addressed. Has there been a shift in focus towards reliability and durability over pure measured performance now that (1) good (enough) performance is now a given for...

Sylomer is the perfect material if you get the right surface for the weight of you speakers, much better than foam. It does isolate a lot above its resonant frequency, and also has a good loss factor (especially the yellow SR11 variant)...

I concur: I had the opportunity to hear an Acheron Designer system installed by @jlo in a cinema post production room a few years ago. It was really coherent and impressive, especially in the LF range, tactile yet very musical and pleasant.

Interesting unit for sure! This is tempting! I don’t recall reading any report of smsl units doing crazy things like forgetting volume control settings and such, and my good old pair of m8 have been flawless and well behaved fir many years now in my active system (no volume control tho...)...

@aliqaz, in your situation you should probably follow @Mr. Widget's advice and try renting a few PA systems. This would let you determine exactly what SPL/bandwidth you need to shoot for, and also try different directivity setups, all that backed up with (generally) accurate specifications and...

You don’t need that much gain with a condenser mic. Your mic has a sensitivity of -28dBV/Pa, compared to for example -59dBV/Pa for an sm7b. That is a whopping 30dB difference.

Why not simply import REW's automated correction into an EQ bank in rephase? There is a rephase EQ format in REW for that purpose.

On the contrary I think Arendal's implementation is very sound. Even without an additional high pass filter you still have to take the natural roll-off of the speaker (bass alignment) into account when building a crossover to a sub. It is 12db/oct (sealed) or 24dB/oct (BR) of high pass...

Hi there! Filter clipping is an interesting topic, and one with many layers to consider, most of which have already been addressed in a way or another in this thread. First off, let me stress the fact that IIR is no different than FIR in this regard: implementing the same minimum-phase...

A question for ultralite Mk5 users: can the device be operated in standalone mode through its ADAT ports? I read that Mk3 could, but needed to be configured via USB each time it was powered-on, which somewhat defeats the purpose... The manual for the Mk5 mentions standalone operation, but I...

Thanks for the kind words @DubbyMcDubs :) That amount of taps at 96kHz will not cut it unfortunately, so you would have to use the IIR/biquad section. The Flex 8 does have a single stereo FIR section in front of the crossovers (contrary to the Flex 4), so that could be used to linearize the...
