FYI, most of the Pioneer DVD's do not down sample. I have a DV717 and it outputs 24/96 on DAD's. Michel

Hi, If you are interested by these kind of systems have a look at the XTA DP224 Loudspeaker Management System (www.xta.co.uk). It does more or less everything: cross-over 2/4, PEQ, delay, limiters and even offers digital inputs and ouputs. It is also remote controllable from a PC with an XTA...

I was mainly thinking of the LR channels, using such a system to build LR from two monitor and 2 subs. At the moment, I am using the BFD to equalize my 2 subs (both receiving the LFE channel from a pre/pro) but I would also like to do some (limited) equalization on LR and I don't think the BFD...

Search on the PRO market, for example the Crown K2. Michel

Good day, I am currious, the PRO market is full of these digital speaker management systems such as XTA DP224 and 226 (see www.xta.co.uk), the BSS OMNIDRIVE and MINIDRIVE (see www.bss.co.uk) or DBX 480 Driverack (Link Removed). They do everything: cross-over, equalizer, delay, limiter and so...

I found the problem in the settings of the measurement system, my Windows mixer settings were totally wrong... I corrected them and I validated my new measurements with an SPL meter (I measured the response at the listing position between 20 and 200 Hz with a 1 Hz step using a sine wave signal)...

Hi, I am trying to equalize my subwoofers with a Behringer DSP1100. As a measurement tool I am using Smaartlive (4.5) with the Furman AIS-10E microphone preamp and the Behringer measurement microphone. I managed to have a flat response except at one frequency, at around 50 hz I have a 6 dB...

Richard is absolutely right. Trying to EQ (boosting in this case) a frequency because there is a dip at the listening position at this frequency due to a room mode is absolutely useless: all the energy you will put in this frequency will anyway be "eaten" by this dip. Imagine the result of...

You are right it includes a 1/3 Octave RTA. I replaced it with a PC software (but I kept the Behringer calibrated microphone), the SIA SmaartLive software is much more precise (down to 1/24 octave) and complete (it is not the only software able to do RTA). It seems to be a consensus in the...

My personnal experience: I tried the Ultra-curve pro for room correction but could never be fully satisfied with it. I found that it was not transparent enough (mainly on medium and high). Also the main problems in my room (and I guess in most rooms) are in the bass area. I then decided to...

Deane, Thanks anyway :-) Michel

To protect your woofer! Are you using the internal amp of your Velodyne sub? If yes it surely has an internal subsonic filter! Perhaps my question was not clear: would you use the BFD with an external amp powering directly the woofer of a sub without any subsonic filter in the signal path...

Hi, I was worried about the lack of subsonic filter on the Behringer DSP1100P when using it for subwoofer EQ. I asked (email) Behringer why it is so and here is the answer I got from them: "The DSP1100P cuts off under 20 Hz. This is due to the A-D converter. So, there is no need for a separate...

Jones_Rush, IMO, using a desktop PC or a laptop should not make any difference if you use a typical sound card in you PC. Michel

Hi Jones_Rush, Yes, I see the phantom power supply. As you say, it is equivalent to the Furman minus the preamp and precisely it looks like the preamp is mandatory. The laptop mixer will not be able to give enough amplification (it appears the we are far away from what is actually needed, I've...
