Hi. I'm new here and I'm just musing over Dirac Art as I see an amp with it in my future but also I find the tech really interesting.
Anyway, you seem to be pretty clear on how it works so I'll run something I was thinking by you in the hopes it is of interest or you can comment? Thanks.
I recently started work on a modest man cave (small garden in Scotland so it's an outdoor room with internal size about 3.3m x 4.1m- a little small, a little square but not much I can do and partly why Im keen on room correction as I know I'll have bass issues). I purchased a full set of 2nd hand m&k IW300, S300T and IC95 speakersto go in the room, I've lusted after s150's for years but the 300 came up cheap ish as trade ins. I also have an svs pb16 ultra to go with.
After buying the above speakers I find out about dirac ART and how full range speakers may be better for the job of active correction and I'm thinking... Are mine going to do well enough (Some are only good down to 70 ot 80Hz which is ok in a typical system but if they are not great for ART what options do I have to improve the situation...
Well one option that sprung to mind is using the speaker terminals of some of the speaker chanels as smaller sub inputs (as you would on stereo systems not using LFE channel) rather than the LFE channel it's self to in effect add lower range to that speaker. (Dirac sees is as having a large dynamic range) Stupid idea? Crossover issues etc? I am Not sure myself, I am only begining my journey beyond a basic Atmos living room set up but I do know mixing sub sizes never seems like a good idea. Anyway I read your comments about Dirac ART and how it uses LFE channels which seems to use one sub as a main and others just support it. Does this mean that it could be fine to have one large sub like I have then add maybe a couple smaller subs elsewhere to help with correcting the room. Or did I get that all wrong?
Thanks!
