| Distributed Bass Array configuration ieales, I get similar results from my 4-sub DBA as millercarbon, seemingly effortless bass that is seamlessly integrated with my main speakers regardless of volume level, that is as solid, powerful and dynamic as the source content dictates. ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Hello audioquest4life, Congrats and welcome to the DBA Swarm Club, be prepared to be amazed! I wasn't even aware AK offered a larger Magnum version of their Swarm system. James Romeyn, of Audio Kinesis, was also the person who co... | |
| Which subwoofer? lewinskih01:" @noble101Indeed,Earl Geddes has said that subs has been enough for him, but 4 is better. It's important to note when Geddes talks about "better" bass he's referring to seat-to-seat variations across the room. So bass is more Even a... | |
| Which subwoofer? Hello kenrus,scm also offered very good advice, in my opinion for 2 reasons:1. I believe the Hsu ULS-15 MKII is also a very good sub that may even outperform the SVS SB-1000-Pro but it's $800 plus $90 shipping and handling, which totals almost $90... | |
| Which subwoofer? Hello kenrus, I think mike_in_nc gave you very good advice: the key is good integration with your main speakers, a pair of subs will perform much better than a single sub (smoother, faster bass, easier to integrate and provide better bass... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Here's a good article on the subject of multiple subs that I think is worth reading. https://mehlau.net/audio/multisub_geddes/ My general advice is to also learn as much as you can about how sound waves behave in smaller, domestic-sized... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Hello mapman, Funny, I have no trouble optimally positioning my subs in the room by ear, when utilizing the sub crawl method on each one sequentially, but I do have trouble optimally setting their phase by ear. I found it was much easier... | |
| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? Hello bdp24, I've never experimented with an OB sub, or even heard one in action. But I'm still theorizing that 2-3 OB subs, independently and strategically positioned in the room either using measurement gear, room correction hardware/softwa... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration mapman: " What measurements establish the “improved bass”? Improved in what way?Just wondering. Is it just more? More extended? Flatter response ? Different frequency curve? What exactly is different than prior?"Hello mapman, I agree... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration soundspectacular, Yes, I prefer the term omnidirectional, as opposed to non-directional, to describe the dispersion pattern of deep bass sound waves being launched into the room from a bass driver, whether from the main speakers or a sub. ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Hello lemonhaze, Thank you for using a very interesting example to confirm this likely principle. I understand your comment about a signal generated 41 Hz fundamental tone not being locatable since it lacks the necessary overtones.Thanks,Tim | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration bdp24, The 4-sub Audio Kinesis Swarm and Debra DBA systems utilize a Kilowatt class shelf-mount class AB amp/control unit with a 4th order variable lowpass filter that rolls off the bass at 3 dB per octave from 100 Hz down to 20. ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration soundspectacular:" Please correct me if any of my comments here are incorrect as I don't claim to have any expertise. I do believe you are misinterpreting the "term" - "stereo subwoofers". It is a "term" not a sonic phenomena or an implementatio... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Just for the record, I'm a big dog lover, including dingoes, or is it dingi? However, most of my best friends are actually dolphins.Later, Tim | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration The following quote was copied from a Stereo Times interview with Duke Lejeune that took place many years ago, There was no date listed on the article that I could find. So, I'm not certain of the exact date but I believe it was published ar... |
