Dirac on a 2.1 nearfield setup

[abdo123]

I like the -3db adjustment. It has the same impact to my ears as the -10 and I try as a general rule to make the smallest adjustment as possible to make an audible difference.

I will be trying the L/R specific recommendation over the next few days. Thanks again, I really appreciate the suggestions.

By the way when you change a value in a filter by using the slider in MiniDSP, you have to release the mouse button before the change is applied.

Maybe that’s why they sound the same? Just felt like mentioning it.

I should have said similar, I can hear the difference but very subtle. The -10 sounds "warmer" but I only really notice the additional harmonic disappearing.

Personally i just continue to decrease the value until i cannot distinguish the 'additional frequency' from the sea of noise anymore.

I have found all of your recommendations to be a positive improvement, thank you. -3db for each adjustment was sufficient.

Running a new Dirac calibration and focusing on frequencies below 200Hz should tie everything up nicely.

Wait a second, the graph doesn’t look right. Don’t use biquads or Advanced mode.

A picture tells a thousand words! That seems to happen when I import the EQ setting from REW?

Here is corrected:

And how does it sound? maybe now that it is fixed you would appreciate lower or higher gain.

-5 or -6 sounds very similar. Struggling to hear it in music but can do with the Pink noise.

I'm contemplating purchasing a Dirac license. I have two full range (extend below 30Hz) towers and no sub. I know the dips won't go away since they are a function of the room itself, but how much would Dirac it help on a pure 2.0 system?

Very hard to give any quantitative or qualitative indication. The best I could suggest is “probably some”. it Is great fun to play with

Well I have been listening for quite a few hours over the last week and I do prefer the correction you recommended. I listen to all sorts of music but find there is additional clarity/sharper focus in female vocals & some guitar. It is subtle to me but relevant. Thanks again, much appreciated.
