| The equalizer you don't know you have I just want to point out that EQ (and other signal processing) takes place in many places along the recording process as well as in playback systems.As Erik pointed out most speakers systems have some sort of EQ by necessity. All speaker drivers a... | |
| Why not put crossover networks in accessible compartments? Because it is difficult to predict what people want we (Analysis Audio USA) decided to let the customer decide whether they buy inboard or outboard crossovers. Some people place their Analysis speakers in a living room and don't want extra boxes a... | |
| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" Andy, wow you did quite a bit of research on DSP. There is a difference between budget DSP and quality DSP. Also, there is basically straight up DSP as used for crossover functions and DSP with room correction. How you design a DSP speaker system ... | |
| Magnepan needs your help Dipole woofers can work great with planar speakers. We have been using our dipole woofer modules with our Analysis Audio speakers for several years with great results. Our dipole woofer modules each have two 10” long throw drivers and are designed... | |
| Magnepan needs your help The core of the DSP unit is basically a computer so we can log on to control the processor and view the events. The processor comes with a four point microphone. Once the speaker system is installed and all the cables are connected the DSP unit is... | |
| Magnepan needs your help Interesting. We’ve been building and selling line source dipole speakers with outboard open baffle woofer modules for almost two years. The woofer modules each have two 10” dynamic drivers. The system is DSP controlled. The woofer modules can be p... | |
| Bi-amp crossover recommendations The Pass Labs XVR-1 is certainly one of the best units and is still produced and supported. We have used ours extensively in the past to help us develop our loudspeakers. Very flexible.Marchand active crossovers are also quite good and equally fle... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Again, I am NOT defending anyone here but the truth is fancy finishes are driven by consumers not the manufacturers. Builders build mini-mansions because there are people out there who want to buy then. Boutique car companies build $1M + cars beca... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I won't comment on whether or not the price for the paint upgrade is justifiable. As a speaker manufacturer I can comment to how expensive custom and automotive finishes really are. Many of these paints are three stage systems. Price out Ford 2020... | |
| Active stand mount loudspeakers Agreed. We do build our own line of power amps and a line-stage for people who want a single brand solution. We are also well into the development of a four channel power amp specifically designed to be used with our DSP controlled speakers. It sh... | |
| Active stand mount loudspeakers seadogs1,In full disclosure, we manufacture active, DSP controlled non powered stand mount speakers.The active crossover category include both analog and DSP. I believe the general trend is either fully passive stand mounts or DSP active and power... | |
| Meridian dsp Steve,Glad you found speakers that work for you. DSP is actually a broad term. Most good DSP units have many features. They can be used to simply perform just the crossover functions, to complex filtering, to advanced room correction. Before DSP m... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA If anyone here is attending the CAF Show next weekend, we will be using the Soundsmith Hyperion cartridge. Please stop by to check it out. We are in room 504. Obviously it's difficult to separate the cartridge from the rest of the system, but it's... | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room Sam Laufer's new line array speaker (The Note) is a good candidate. It is not an OB design. It does require subs. I believe he is still in Brooklyn so not far from you. There is lots of tasteful room treatment available. I would strongly recomme... | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room You have an interesting challenge ahead of you. That’s a larger room but that’s not the main challenge. The dinning area and living room area should have good sound quality if you place the speakers in the areas marked by the red circles. The sitt... |
