@kota1 This microphone has all of its capsules very close together that's good for phasing but bad for proper interpretation of direction. It's great that you can record each capsule on its own track but bad that it is designed for Adat / light pi...

@closenplay looking forward to checking out horn systems and omni speaker systems at AXPONA, thanks for the note. I have made equipment mistakes in my audiophile system because of my lac of experience. I've spent millions on professional equipment... 
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
@kota1 You've made a good point but Atmos seems to be what the stadios are falling over themselves putting in. I say the first display of Atmos many years ago touting object based mixing, I didn't take it seriously but if you think about it that's...

@kingharold How did you get into active horn speakers? I would love to hear some not PA horn speakers. I think Im going to go to the audiophile event in Illinois in the spring, hopefully there will be some there.

@thespeakerdude what is your view on the damage the internal vibration inflicts on the amp fidelity in active speaker designs? Have you ever tested this.

@kingharold On the contrary you are the audiophile who is not confused, you are the opposite of the normal audiophile who doesn't understand that a speaker and an amp/crossover should be made for each other.    
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
@kota1 I have been trying to set up my atmos system for a movie in a few months and have been getting frustrated because it is still a moving target. No standard really but at the same time maybe that will release a lot of creativity. So far I've ...

@thespeakerdude Great, thank you for that. What is a problem is longer wave guides or horns or anything that is trying to direct the wave. Call 1k a 1 foot long wave (close enough) 2k is 6 inches 4k is 3, at this point horns and curved boxes with ...

Also  Dante is simply a network protocol that is used to send sound through a network cable it great for switching, There is no sound degradation and can connect to anything through Dante Control and Dante Via. Dante is the future.

@kota1 @thespeakerdude  When anything is put in front of a speaker the wave is deflected somehow, when you put something like window louvers or a horn to guide high frequencies the wave is deflected. Many have mentioned "wave guides" and acoustic ...

@rick2000 I just received my PS Audio BHK preamp again from service and now I'm giving up on tube equipment, I love the sound but constantly rotating and buying tubes I give up. I have a Lyngdorf processor and it sounds great, what can you tell me...

@kota1 Maybe you can help me here about a question from the amazing sound system in the YouTube video. Wave guide high frequency, in my day was popular until they realized that near field deflection is another word for phase problems, how can such...

@kota1 oh man that is a fun room. I would give a lot to hear it. Interesting to hear music played at a low volume in a room like that I have a feeling it would poor,  firehouse filling a tea cup kinda story. Impossible to mix for a room like that....

Dolby Atmos and active speakers are the future. The AES should set up a foundation to start from as far as speaker setup and acoustic response to keep mixing consistent. 12 speakers are hundreds of times more complicated than stereo. The AES shoul...

@thespeakerdude You did educate me previously, and it is brilliant saying "as an audiophile thing it doesn't have to make sense". I know microphones and when there is poor off axis coloration the on axis doesn't sound as good because you are liste...
