| Subwoofer Phase Control AFAIK the "phase" control is really just a delay, with a theoretical 180 degrees being the equivalent of 1/2 the travel time of the upper frequency. So for a subwoofer with a 100 Hz max 180 degrees would be 1/200 = 0.005 milliseconds (if I did th... | |
| Sub for 2 Channels Those aren’t really subs, by our normal definitions. Those really are woofers with deep bass. In other words, you have a 3-way speaker system with more conventional 3-way crossover points. Most residential subwoofers are not really meant to g... | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please Yes, you need to treat the ceiling, especially between speaker and listener. It can make old home theaters sound like they have atmos. Also, we can somewhat compensate for lack of treatments elsewhere here. If you are having resonance/room mode... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers OP: go over to the Multi-way speaker forum and you'll find lots of helpful and knowledgeable people with very strong opinions to share. :) | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers A great place to stop in and ask builders is diyaudio.com | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers @larryi - The OP asked about a folded horn, which is different than a back-loaded horn. The typical example is a Klipsch corner horn or La Scala. As their name implies, they are horns... but the folding reduces the floor space. They fire into t... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers I may not be entirely correct here, but I think of folded horns as horns and TL as competitors to the ported enclosure. That is, horns gain efficiency through the improved impedance match of the driver to the air via the horn. The TL however AFA... | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase A-300 For whatever reason, I've seen several online discussions about converting Accuphase integrateds which seems straightforward. Sadly not true for Luxmans whicha re not convertible. | |
| Bass Traps Couple of things. One, taming a very live room by controlling mid and treble reflections makes the bass stand out more prominently, so this could just be mid/treble absorption. Another thing that happens is that valleys are reduced... if you had... | |
| Wasted amp power to limited range speakers...how degrading is it to SQ? Hi OP: So without a high pass filter before the main amp, the main amp produced the same voltage no matter what the sub does, and the speakers attempt the bass frequencies as best they can. From a technical perspective, adding a high pass filter... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers oh, some one must have mentioned putting up a curtain rod too, right?? | |
| Flatscreen between speakers Indeed. Some other things to consider is thick panels behind the screen. It also helps but thicker is better here as you get a lot more low notes back there. Other things to try which can help is damping the floor behind the speakers, and under... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments BTW - if you are a ROON or JRiver user then Mitch's Convolution Filters are easy to use. Honestly too hard and too much. Simple parametric EQs in Roon will solve the OP's problems. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes The digital data rides on an analog signal that can pick up noise. High-end computing ≠ High-end audio where we care how it “sounds” Doesn't matter. The question is whether that noise makes it past the Ethernet interface. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes May not matter as much for streamers since ethernet is galvanically isolated from grounds noise. Technically only if you use unshielded cables. Though the signal pairs are balanced, transformer coupled there is usually a little cap that goes a... |
