| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? Frustrated with what I hear as colouration from traditional speakers during a 40+ year search for the ’perfect sound’ (including expensive & well reviewed B&Ws, JBLs, Shahinians, Dalis, Royds), I started building Open Baffle speakers durin... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Yes, the software, user manual etc are available to download from the DEQX site (you will need to ask by email: alangford@deqx.com for the latest login & password to do so). | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I have recently completed new Open Baffle speakers utilising both DEQX processors as mentioned in previous threads. Linking master-slave by RS232 + digital cabling was straight forward. The HDP-5 controls the main speakers, the HDP-3 two subs at &... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? nomad54: i know that Spatial (the new X-1) & Larsen make speakers specifically for DEQX users and was wondering if there are any others?Legend Acoustics Tikandi | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Using a standard M23 will not have the correct DEQX calibration file unfortunately so be very careful. It will not work without this. Yes. I use DEQX with OB speakers & am now building my second pair as a 4-way, powered by an HDP-5 with an HDP... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? This could progress into quite a lengthy exchange & may take a while, depending on our relative time zones. What I've normally done in situations like this is have the user send me their .mzd file which I can interpret properly, make initial t... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? No, bypass does not need any measurements - don't set a calibration or filters for this profile. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Yes those confidence levels should be fine. Only 3dB between L & R main speakers means your mic was fractionally off centre so look at the impulse response of both in one viewer window, zoom in and take the mid point timing as the reading. (It... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? "Thanks, If the QOL is placed before the DEQX Premate would I need to run the measurements again?"No, the DEQX processor measures the effect of the speakers/cabling/amps downstream & the QOL is going to address source material upstream. This h... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? The logic behind my response is that DEQX corrects the speakers (+ Amps) & room whereas the QOL appears to deal with phase anomalies on the source recording. Adding this component between the Premate & amps will upset the measured relation... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Does anyone think if there is a breakin time for the unit? I am using it as a Preamp so I assume like most things audio 200 hours of use time seems to be about right.Ozzy, I see from your earlier post that you purchased a 'used' Premate so I wou... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Ozzy, if it isn’t on your CD, you can also download your mic file by going to the DEQX website:From the bar across the top of the page, choose: Owners, then upgrades from the dropdown box, scroll down to Dayton mic files & Dayton all Microphon... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Good to hear that you are joining the DEQX ’club’ Ozzy. When I originally purchased an HDP-3, I used it in the same way as your forthcoming PreMate - in that case using Shahinian Obelisks (including their passive crossovers) with a Miller & Kr... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Yes Jeff, DEQX inspired me to build my own speakers.I had always been impressed with Open Baffle designs because of the lack of cabinet colouration and great transient speed so I set about building various prototypes several years ago, using my or... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? "Roscoeiii: drewan77, Sorry if I missed it, but have you tried DEQX digital out --> external DAC --> preamp (if volume control is needed)? If so, how did that compare to the setup you are currently using ( external DAC =>A/D =>D/A =>... |
