Mr. Lapmpizator is a character. From a technician's standpoint, he should get credit for tearing apart the CEC transport and sorting out the SPDIF trace. Loved the disguised motor, where the costume cost more than the crappy chinese motor (new $4, le...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Actually it turned out that LE5-2/2105 are much more complicated driver and to sound right it need way more complex crossover then juts a band-pass the I initially unused. I spend some time with it today but did not find a ...

I played with this Behringer DEQ unit for a couple hours. What the magnificent machine would it be if all functionalities work! I mean they all work but they all make sound like shit, even this unit in hard-bypass sounds like shit and there is no oth...

The last couple days I have experimented with Behringer
Virtualizer 3D FX2000 High-Performance 3D Multi-Engine Effects Processor. It is
pro machine, very non expensive that allows doing the same as Yamaha field processors
can do. I was hoping to u...

perfectly able to understand you play a different ballpark but what if a good DAC is not such a thing.
I orderd a Vicol shigaclone to be build in the Behringer Ultra Curve, with a spdif tube buffer to a Behringer Ultra match for upsamplingand a tub...

de charlus - I used a few of these Behringer boxes and the level of features is staggering. However, in my experience with the Ultra box, sound quality was significantly reduced in "bypass" mode, reduced further when employed as a DAC, and reduce...

Hi. Well the behringer belongs probably to the most famous and also to the worst quality wise. Sure the passive sound better...Id go with the learnings from the behringer and apply it in a clean xover, either active or passive or even digital - but n...

No question the Behringer has a ton of functionality, especially at under $300. The simple RTA is useful on the fly. I think and hope this tool will help with the MiniMe development.
I always wondered why the DEQ sounded so veiled but suspected ...

[quote user="scooter"] I don't know about the SMS but a few people have tried to clean up the Behringer DCX. I pulled all digital correction out of my system before investigating further but found some interesting mods to the output stage during inve...

Just for the record, Sadurni uses a Behringer DCX2496 for the low fq. I might speculate the DCX solves more problems in low fq than it causes, but don't know as I have not compared it side-to-side to other solutions. I've found the DCX is not an acc...

Behringer has a 3 channel digital crossover just like what you want.Don't remember the model, but it's on their site....

[quote user="steverino"]I think this only works with grossly deficient recordings. I believe Levinson chose a historical recording as his example for the reviewer. But it allows the FM Acoustics listener to spend endless hours fiddling with the contr...

I have heard several Tannoy speakers in the past, but have never heard the quality of sound Romy has obtained with his brain child. I don't know whether it is the speakers alone or his setup which has allowed his system to enthrall so much more than ...

This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering. There is an army of people out there who would swear by a complete transpare...

Very interesting read. I like comfy!Now for ultimate comfiness: would you recommend an actual unit for prototyping?...A digital crossover that works OK, with >=2 analog unbalanced inputs and outputs, 2*3 channels output, possible 6db slopes a...

Hello Romy,I didn't use John Hasquin's tapped horn design, I modeled my own in hornresp for my TAD woofer. I knew I would only need it up to ~55Hz so I was happy to have it flat from 23Hz-70Hz. The lowest crossover point for Behringer DCX 2496 is 20H...

A. Wahlsten,this speaker is very well suited for time aligning physically. The more "DSP corrections" that we add, the worse things get. In addition, DSP time alignment can only be useful for one seating position and distance from the speaker. It doe...

I had a Behringer DCX2496 that used for nothing and I think it got broken. I do not want to by another one. What I looking for is some kind cheap, no more than $100 solution that would allow be to have 4 order filters and crossover point up to 250hz...

Very helpful primer. This might be a good place to elaborate a bit on approaching the task of crossover selection and testing for each driver, especially with respect to points, filter selection, steepness and other parameters one should consider. Fr...

My most humble apologies to DEQX and its users, what we tested was the Behringer DCX unit, my mistake.I never used a DEQX and have no current opinion on its performance....

Absolutely flat response will usually sound as you've described it; listen to your ears. If you are hearing the opening bass line of "So What" via the sub, you must be running the sub pretty high in frequency to compensate for lack of mid-bass. From ...

Nice posts Romy and Jan, agree almost 100%. I've heard the Behringer in an originally crummy system and it butchered things completely. The input levels were low, which as you point out, won't have helped at all.On a vaguely related note: I dunno if ...

Oh yeah, I ALMOST forgot about TIME!Think of frosting a cake and putting "swirls" in the frosting...Now, try listening to the swirls while you eat that cake!I ALMOST hate to admit it, but in some ways digital X/O actually "makes more sense", especial...

I am really not an expert in digital crossovers. I rented in past a few, inducing the Behringer DCX2496 that Thorsten mentioned. I less was concern at that time about the unit as prototyping crossover but rather was trying to learn if the digital cro...
