THX cinema with pro cinema audio gear

That mixing table looks like it will be enormous fun to play with (both for you and for your cats)!

What do you plan to connect through it?

Will you have control over individual channel levels etc?
total control providing the cats are not sleeping on it
 
Nice.

Are they at all naughty or playful?

Any danger that they might twiddle with your adjustments when you aren't looking?!


Edit: I guess it would be easy to notice with your multi-mic real time analyser. That also looks like a very serious piece of equipment.

live , testing RTA with new mics subzero cheaper than behringer ECM8000 and almost frequency identical , almost , " mostly "

 
Well, I said the RTA and mixing board looked fun; but it looks like a lot of hard work too. Tackle it at your own pace and make sure your hobby remains a joy and doesn't start to feel a chore.
 
^^ @-Matt- thanks ,
once its all set up i can relax , can take in the video in real time , exhausting

placed few more microphones around the room only x8 behringer ECM8000 , ( two new mics " subzero " ) tested and come within same freq range to the ECM8000 only subzero are lot cheaper
only need 14 mics now and may go with , subzero half price of ECM8000
done another pink noise REW RTA test of the five screen JBL HF horns

cheap , double disc , not tested yet relaxing , the HD-dvd don't play due to disc rot lousy format that HD-dvd was
 
i been thinking about the ( bass shakers ) how it works with bass management on a processor what it can or can't do ( can't do in this case ) so i'll be installing a behringer 12 channel audio mixer that has 8 XLR inputs for each L , C , R , S , LFE.1 the outputs will be connected to one of many behringer DCX 2496 , inputs A and C the outputs , ( i guess this is bit complicated ) i should have it connected soon , it give me better flexible user control over the bass sent to the bass shakers i have to check if the behringer will fit in the remain rack space ?

LoL... I imagine in your neighborhood you are known as the electronics genius experimenter. Seriously you have that dedicated room and delve into pro surround sound gear and have a plethora of gear for that. :D

Hopefully sound tolerant neighbours or hopefully far removed! Hopefully at least not in terraced housing, sound normally travels so easily between.
