Level adjusting speaker drivers


Sometimes when I listen to various things it would be nice to turn up mid and Tweeter levels, and also bass too.

The speaker gets the signal and then it's split between the drivers by the crossover's, but what about the individual levels hitting these drivers. Would it be worthwhile to have a means to increase or reduce these levels?

Anyone ever done this and what tool did you use?

Minidsp seems more design for subs.  And it seems pretty cheap of a product. And it's a nightmare to work with. 

Yes controlling gain is absolutely essential, and frequencies. would be wonderful if there were some Devices to do this that are easier to work with.

This looks very interesting. Solution for biamping?

Does it control the levels or just the frequency ranges?

 You would need 1 of these devices for each speaker. It doesn't really address increasing voltage to each Driver as a result of using 2 amplifiers per speaker for biamping flexibility.

Thanks

schiit equalizers are interesting, they have great products and this is an area that's underserved

I guess you can use one for each biamped speaker. I would be using the internal crossovers of the speaker and then maybe this Device would allow me to adjust levels to allow for voltage differences hitting each driver. And then if I want I can also adjust frequency levels if I wanted to.

In making level adjustments without changing the frequency mix, I guess you would increase each of the dials by roughly the same amount. Maybe this isn't a true gain setting adjustment, which I think I really need.

Does this make sense?

That's the problem with DSP, the interfaces are very disappointing given what they do.

I'll take a look at the flex 8.
