| Looking for wider soundstage Try this simple experiment for reference. Cover the TV located to the right with a thick blanket or blankets, shut the door behind the right speaker and see if you hear a different. Toe in so the speakers are pointing directly at the main liste... | |
| Best room EQ? Look into the Trinnov ST2 HiFi. Their unique mic and intuitive software make the system easy to use with excellent results. It has both digital and analog inputs. The unit is very transparent. Disclosure: We supply them with our Apollo speaker sys... | |
| Who actually uses digital speakers? Hi Erik, Just to be clear "wider isn’t worth the extra floor space" in my context is "with (our Apollos and) DSP/Room correction wider isn’t worth the extra floor space". If you are building a line array without digital room correction (or passi... | |
| Who actually uses digital speakers? Hi Erik, Our baffle design accomplishes what we want and with DSP/Room correction wider isn’t worth the extra floor space. A line array without DSP/Room correction, like the Infinity, is designed differently than our Apollos and can benefit from... | |
| Who actually uses digital speakers? Hi Erik, Sorry for misspelling your name, my bad. I try not to talk about my products specifically but use them as an example of what is possible. I think many people here are not always clear on the terminology related to DSP, ASP, active syste... | |
| Who actually uses digital speakers? Eric, Active speaker systems with all discreet components certainly add a layer of complexity but also have tons of flexibility. We actually use different crossover points to dial in a system along with more conventional amplitude adjustments and... | |
| Who actually uses digital speakers? I respectfully and strongly disagree with the broad statement that DSP applied makes music sound like crap. Broad and adamant statements are a disservice to the audio community. DSP is applied everywhere there is digital, from recording to master... | |
| Who actually uses digital speakers? Don’t forget that all active systems that use DSP are not the same or equal. Our Apollo system can be configured several way and the owner can use any amps or front end they want. Our customers use low power SET amps to mid power SS and anything ... | |
| Oh Room Correction, how Far You've not Gotten "So I would need 18 channels of amplification not counting the bass to run a pair of these speakers ?" No. The Apollo system processor has four channels total, two channels per side. Each tower is on its own channel and each woofer module (or mu... | |
| Oh Room Correction, how Far You've not Gotten @djones51 Yes, Trinnov is part of our speaker system. Our Apollo 9 system comes with two 9 driver AMT towers, 2 woofers modules (each containing two 10" long throw woofers), 2KW amp for the woofers and the DSP unit. 22 high quality drivers in t... | |
| Oh Room Correction, how Far You've not Gotten Erik, Yes, the low crossover point makes it easier. Building AMT drivers with a range from 120Hz to 24KHz, not so easy. Our raw towers have some interesting characteristics. There are different parameters designing a speaker system knowing it wil... | |
| Are Black Ravioli products sold in the US? I'm not sure they are imported into the USA at this time. I had the opportunity to try a set under our line-stage at the last Rock Mountain Audio Fest held at the original location. I'm not a major tweak-er but I do believe everything can matter.... | |
| Oh Room Correction, how Far You've not Gotten Erik, I understand what you are saying. AutoRC doesn't do all and doesn't take into account a few things like personal preferences and an individual's hearing. We always tweak the system's auto-optimization. There are many manual settings to play... | |
| Oh Room Correction, how Far You've not Gotten Erik, It's good to hear from someone who, at least, is open minded about DSP/Room Correction. First, by definition, DSP exists everywhere there is a digital signal. Furthermore, the term "room correction" is a bit misleading. These systems do not... | |
