Hi
@OCA,
I have a quick question regarding my subwoofer distance after calibrating.
Problem Description:After calibration, my subwoofer is displayed with a distance of 9.99m in the Distances menu. If I open this menu after uploading the calibration data to my AVR (Denon AVR-X2800H), the AVR immediately flags this value as invalid. Consequently, I'm now avoiding opening that menu after uploading the calibration.
My Question/Suspicion:Does this maximum value of 9.99m indicate that my subwoofer's internal signal processing (delay) is very long, and even with the hack tool, Audyssey has reached the maximum possible delay time it can set?
Edit: I forced the lowest crossover search to 60 Hz and now the distance is 9,29m and it sounds just perfect. So it actually IS an incredibly slow processing of the soundbar.
Background on My Setup:I'm using a "repurposed" soundbar (more accurately, a rather large soundbase) as a subwoofer because it goes down to 30 Hz at -3dB. The sound is fine, and all settings from version 5 of Acoustica were uploaded cleanly to my AVR-X2800H.
Additional Consideration:I'm currently unsure whether I should continue using the soundbar as a subwoofer or remove it. My main speakers (KEF R3), located in the same room (bedroom), measure down to a pretty clean 40 Hz due to wall reinforcement. Would it perhaps be more ideal to forgo the soundbar as a subwoofer, or does it still offer advantages despite the 9.99m distance reading?
Thanks in advance for your assessment and help!
