Hi
I have used MSO and thought my results were good.. that was until two thing as happened:
- I re-arranged my furniture's: I added a small table in the back of the room. The subwoofer that was in the back will be moved somewhere else.. in the back.
- My miniDSP died, thanks to my using the wrong power supply.. Sending 51 VDC to it, courtesy of a similar looking power supply that was for a nearby PoE switch.
I am in favor of presenting an optimized subwoofer, call it the MSO-subwoofer to Audyssey. Let Audyssey do its things of integrating the other speakers (L,R,C, Surrounds, Ceiling Atmos) with this MSO-ed virtual sub. I don't intend to use MSO for mains and sub integration, only for subs and let Audyssey via the Windows app take care of the rest.
I will have to re-measure and ... I need to understand and make sure I do it right this time, because reading through the copious documentation, I might have done it all wrong and was simply lucky, so... I am exposing myself here as an utter ignoramus b/c:
I didn't perform the "Timing Reference" step.
I simply measured each subs at the MLP and luckily the levels were the same.
My questions now.
How do I establish the Timing Reference in my system? Is this even necessary?
What is the best way to match the gains/reference levels of the subs at the MLP positions, via REW,
before MSO?
Do I need to match the levels of each subs at the MLP? What is the recommended method: Use the subwoofer gains potentiometer? Or use the miniDSP input gains? I personally prefer to use the subwoofer potentiometer to do so but , you know more, so I am asking.
Let me know and I apologize if this has been covered already. In which case point me toward it
Peace.
