I don't have a preamp and I'm quite happy with the level of control I have at hand. Eq and balance, DSP as desired (or not).....a 2496, or not...🤷♂️ Distrib amps can be as simple or as complex as one could ask for of late, wallet thickness being ones' guide or limit. I've 6 amps in a 50ish lb. lump. 2chan each, buss or stand-alone input, bal & vol each, delay each, and any can be mono'd for sub or just the bang of it. Each amp can drive up to 4 drivers, if you don't ask the impossible from it. No, it's not likely you'll discern the sweat on the palms of the 1st violinist in the midst of that solo...but I don't kid myself into thinking I can hear such.... But, it pleases me in the OTW I'm up to, and it didn't require a 2nd mortgage that I couldn't do anyway.... (No, I've not tried 24 drivers. I've enough cables already just for the nonsense I'm doing anyway...and suspending that many cables off the floor would look like a WW2 tank trap to maneuver around....I'm not insane, just....'odd'....*L* ;)...) |
@sc2 *L* I will thank you for noting that observation.... ;) And my setup is a tad 'above & beyond' what most would strive for, but is driven by intent & budget restrictions for the most part. It scratches my particular itch.... ...ought to allow for the flexibility you'd desire, but will require separate amps for each output obviously. You could 'dial in' what works for the separate elements in your quest, which is similar to what I'm about with my meanderings.... It does come down to what you hope to accomplish, by ear or directed by measurement and analysis. Either way, good luck with the project. *S* Nobody has said one can't think outside of the box, esp. when dealing with flat panel arrays.... ;) You're into dipole territory, which is decidedly different than the conventional; the space you're working within will 'have a say' in results as well... "Life: Your results Will vary...." Have fun, J |
Yes, covers the 'splitting' and 'levels' functions, but still lacks amplification and xover functions. Bi-amp, tri-amp, quad-amp....audio rabbit holes....:( Anytime one wanders off the beaten path into the weeds, expect rocks....cliffs, even. Expose'... I've spent a few years amassing Precisely what you'd want for your efforts. There is no simple approach in the final analysis....what one pays for when buying the item from the B&M/online/reseller is that 'someone' has done all this trudging through those weeds towards what you've bought....with the hope that 'it' will do what is desired....or not. (At the risk of sounding like He Whose Name Starts With 'k' & Ends With 't'....) IM(not so)HO....Pursuit of Perfection is quixotic from Word One. Imperfect devices in imperfect spaces listened to by imperfect beings with outrageous opinions about their 'perfect renditions' of 'pleasant noises'. (There...having dumped a bucket of ice water into everyone's' lap, at least I feel better.,,,;)...) I'm not inferring that one shouldn't 'try' the attempt; but the means to a result will vary what one hopes to do, and how successful the result may be.... ...and how it registers to that gook between the ears. *L* Have at it, J Defiantly not a 'bot tonight... |
....since you're just diy'ing for the moment, @sc2 Good luck, however your approach... 👍 |
