Hi, I was looking at the website and it kind of mentions that it doesnt accept mic inputs happily and a separate preamp is needed. Do you have any experience using a mic with this device and did I read that correctly of M-audio site? Thanks.

>> There is a component->VGA breakout adapter available from InFocus. The VGA port will accept a 1080i signal & scale it down. This is where it gets puzzling ... my understanding is that all dLP projectors are native progressive displays (In fact I'm certain of it). Thus, 1080i gets converted to...

The X1 accepts 1080i input from the VGA port only. Does it mean that the Faroudja DCDi de-interlacer works with that signal ? Will appreciate this clarification

VMPS indeed does have very good subwoofers. Used to own one of the original subwoofers which I gave to a friend some time ago. Give them good amplification and the output is very satisfying for the money. I dont hear them being talked about much on HT forum though. BTW I am myself a dual...

Hi, Thanks for responding to my post. Orin, I did separate the amp also completely with no rca jacks or speaker wires connected and just the amp with its power cord. Still 2 of the 6 channels overload light stays on. To reset the preamp, really I power cycled it leaving it off power...

Hi, I have been enjoying my setup for the last 4-5 years including Parasound Preamp PSP-1500 mated to a Parasound HCA 1206 (6 channel amp). Recently some kids visiting us were watching a movie by themselves and dont know what happened really happened but the next time I switched it on to...

Thanks Ron for stopping by and giving me a good input. Two votes for repositioning the subs a bit means I really ought to try that. " Even if you got things flatter you might not notice much difference " ... That kind of opinion is really what I was looking for as to whether the little...

I have both the subs placed together in front corner. They do sound very good. I guess its just a quest to see if I am missing anything significant. I was myself surprised to see that the curve was fairly reasonable except for that little peak at 40 Hz and the dip at 50 Hz and thats what I was...

Hi, I am looking for some help/opinion from some of the experienced members of the forum. Here is a Frequency response using sine waves disk and Radio shack SPL meter that I obtained and graphed using the excel file available at sonnie's site. I was just wanting to know what you guys think...

Can someone explain about the bass boost on the PE amp. Why in the first place is it setup like that, I assume the negative to it is the hump in output you will see at the 35 Hz region. Is there any positive to it ?

Thank you for the excellent explanation of what to expect.

Hi, Just curious if this would be a good idea or it would backfire in any respect. Ofcourse having 2 CS+ would be ideal but if one already has a original CS, would it hurt to have two subwoofers of different kind. I would assume that since they are tuned to same frequencies, it shouldnt have...

Thank you for clearing the idea of mass loading. So, the way you tell me, amount of mass loading would be inverse to output and proportional to low frequency extension. Did I understand that right? I dont have an idea how much the PR weighs and how much loading is there on it. I have sent an...

Hi Thomas, Thanks for replying to my post. I actually have been using the VMPS sub for quite sometime now and never really got around to playing with the mass loading of the passive radiator. I have heard that it can make a significant difference and so was looking for some pointers and...

Hi, This is a newbie question seeking help and info. I wanted to get opinions on how to tune (change mass load) a passive radiator on a VMPS subwoofer which has a 12 inch active and 15 inch passive radiator in a sealed box. Any guidance, pointers, advice to do it the right way would be...
