Overview of miniDSP Flex HTx using Device Console

Interesting to see the evolution of the Device Console. I had a couple 4x10s that did everything the Flex does minus the HDMI and Dirac and the software was very similar but totally different GUI. Fun little boxes but very limited what you can do with bass correction unfortunately.

 
I wish they would get Dirac ART working on it!
 
We've just finished an overview of the miniDSP Flex HTx with Device Console. It includes a couple of interesting examples: one for a four-way active system and another for a 5.2 home theater system. Check it out
What is the maximum delay when NOT using DIRAC?
Is it still 50ms?
Is there any way to increase the delay to sync it with the video?

On the Flex HTx it's 30 ms, this is settable for each channel on the output page

We did an experiment with the miniDSP Flex to see how complex of a filter we could generate below 200Hz. We came up with this example which has; 48 dB/oct high and low pass filters, plus three narrow notch filters, all within the bottom few octaves. What's important is that you can create the complex filters you need to accomplish your audio goals. These are actual measurements analog in to analog out using REW.

Well enough for IIR filters but no joy for FIR.

Yeah, that's a benefit for this platform.
FIR capability chews up so darn many resources that could be available for other things.
