Deqx pre8

Thanks for responding. I suggested to DEQX that they start a forum for users to communicate experiences and suggestions, but we’ll see.

i made some profiles and got it up and functioning. It’s very transparent. I plugged REW into it and got some strange measurements though, vey confusing. 
I’ve been using a manual DSP, Xilica, so I’m used to setting driver timing, crossover slopes, and PEQ’s, so I’m missing the ability to control more parameter.  
mic placement seems important.  
I know it’s still in beta, but I’m hoping for increased ability for user tweaking.  
I’m running a usb cable from my laptop into usb input to run REW through DEQX and I’m getting the REW sweep sounds, so I think my measurements are accurate, but like I say, the results are not what I’m used to.

Typically I like a 8db or so slope from 100-15khz, not sure how to achieve that yet. 
the overall sound is very good, but I’m trying tailor the sound more to my liking, and the unit seems so focused on automation I’m having trouble. I’m optimistic about it though, wondering what the final software release will change.

Has anybody found a way to EQ individual drivers?  As opposed to EQing the summed frequency response. Thanks

Hi, looking for any “best practices” with using the Deqx.  We’ve gotten several software updates, still waiting for the final “retail” release. 
I’m trying to understand the mic positioning.  Has anybody tried to create quasi anechoic conditions through placement and room treatment surrounding speaker/mic? Was this noticeably beneficial? 
Also, has anybody found success with adjustments of “trim” , “smoothing(?)”, or attenuation/boost?  
just looking to get some anecdotal opinions from users who’ve found some better ways of using the unit.  DEQX so far is giving very little help in how to best use the unit, outside of the most basic operating requirements.

thanks, Ted

I agree with measuring drivers up close is a good practice. Last, (3rd), measurement I’ve been doing at listening position. 2nd measurement I’ve been doing about 1 meter, assuming this is only for time alignment, not sure if this is best.  
trim feature, I tend to get a reflected “bump” at 7 ms.  Would we assume .007 is 7ms? 

I’m also wondering about the PEQ frequency response.  I’m under the belief DEQX creates a flat response through its automatic EQ. Not sure what I’m looking at. Also it doesn’t match the FR I see from REW.

Unit sounds great, would love a little more manual control of crossovers, but overall it’s great.
