Good choice. With the hight sensitivity you'll have enough headroom. I wish you to have fun, and I'm sure you'll have!
P.S. does anybody know if crown xls 2502 has so called B6 alignment?
edge no snags unless playing it at silly db levelsI did some testing way back and i found it better to let dirac sort it out.
Highpass on subs, red graph, black front speakers
I can let them go to 19hz but i often watch movies at reference lvl and i want them to survive.
Intro edge of tomorrow, mick 1 meter from the baffle wall between the subs.
I let the sweep run for 1/10 of sec then i immediately turned down the volume
Looks fancy but there is like 4000% distortion due to hitting x-mech and it sounded Awful - but they survived
Done with an Umik in high dB setting but i dont really think i was hitting 130dB@20hz - 30hz Yes but not 20
Old Emilar horns on top are not in use, i am to lazy to take them out and fill the holes
The wall has a slight curve hence the strange bend in the pic
I was on the way to say i beg to differ.Yes he will need a correction if he wants to go down to 20 hz. Without it you'll barely approach 30Hz. 2 sub won't change it.
sadly the XLS serie don't have speaker preset. Here what you have : PureBand™ Crossover Filter System:
The PureBand Crossover System provides a variable state Linkwitz-Riley 24dB/octave filter allowing you to choose a point between 30Hz and 3kHz on standard 1/12th
octave centers. Three filter types are available: Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass
The PeakX
Limiters provide your amplifier and system with higher performance and better protection. They are specifically tuned to work with this amplifier design and
power-supply to achieve higher SPL with less audible artifacts while protecting your loudspeaker investment.
use pink noise , move the mic sideways sideways up and down small length of the width you'll see the frequency go , up and down ,, you must keep the mic 100% level while moving it up and down small width over the seating , otherwise those graphs should be totally 100% overlaid transparent , but the speakers are a mess even speakers costing millions are rubbishI was on the way to say i beg to differ.
But then again i have my subs in a baffle wall.
Without B6 i still reach down to 20h
I dont have any measurements left without the wall, but as you say 30hz is about as low as it gets
You totaly lost me here, what are you trying to say ?use pink noise , move the mic sideways sideways up and down small length of the width you'll see the frequency go , up and down ,, you must keep the mic 100% level while moving it up and down small width over the seating , otherwise those graphs should be totally 100% overlaid transparent , but the speakers are a mess even speakers costing millions are rubbish
you got to start all over again , it can take days or weeks so keep at it your getting close
those are matching LCR at same height level behind projection screen ?
b6 25hz
I meant eventually without B6 if I will face a challenge to find such settings in crown amp / until I will use some external DSP (actually I haven't plan to be honest, as this setup goes to music more than cinema ). So in case of music this (+/-) 10Hz should not be that critical. I will connect the subs over next weekend.Do you mean with and without B6 alignment? I don't feel any bass extension issue without. But once you tried with you can't go back. 10 extra Hz in the low end might seems not a big deal but it is, especially for movies. Or do you mean in wall vs outside of the wall? If so, I lack of comparaison. But I have no issue whatsoever. I only have one sub, so my sweet spot is quite narrow but it's fine for my use.
