Romy:Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?...

In loudspeaker and amplifier design we could use more channels to have better result (like 12 channel DSet concept) but i never seen any DAC/Pre to have more channels.It seems i am speaking about moronic idea but it is interesting to me think about t...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]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.[/quote]Well, digital X-Overs would appear to o...

The Morons™ at AA’s between selling to each other what they did not like and topping each other on their shoulders came up with a subject what horn installation would be if price would be no object. The question is semi-foolish as price is never ...

[quote user="slowmotion"]Good news if the analogue stages of the DCX2496 is so bad. So the improvement of a modified unit should be worth the ekstra work, and remove some of the x-overs negative influence on the sound. Which is always good to know be...

Thanks very much for your prompt, courteous and informative reply!My thought about the crossover design for the EdgarHorn was due to a number of things:1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which i...

Today I had a promising experience. Bill is keep experimenting with his Dannoys and I was visiting him to see what's going on there, since I am still waiting for my panels and I can experience the Dannoy foreplay only valceruasly. We did a very usefu...

[quote user="twogoodears"]Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS...

[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 ...

[quote user="Bill"] If you are going to build such a huge cabinet or put a hole in the floor to use the basement as a chamber, why not just build horns in the basement with a straight 8-10 foot section in the basement with the back chamber re...

Confirming our concern about digital crossovers, by Harman international, the parent co. of DBX, today at 11am, and I will quote, "theoretically they compress the sound" and also I will quote, "it is a concern for live recording and not live sound". ...

On Thursday ,trade day a variety of music was being played and you could just wander into the room, it was always busy, for the rest of the show he same handful of songs were played, the demonstration on ly lasted twenty minutes, such was the popular...

KS, I am not following what is your problem is. The “big bass box” is unknown height. Let say that it is it 36” then it will have MF sitting about it. The lower midrange horn with 800hz crossover pint is sitting above MF. So, everything is fine as fa...

Is there any abstract value to going for a preamp with a stronger output if you're using a passive xo at line level?I'd prefer to answer this question myself but i really don't have the budget to be swapping amps.How does a PLLXO interact with a non-...
|
The horn mouth will be 3-4 foot from the wall but you are right the MF/HF will be closer if i dont delay them so i can bring them out from the wall. If i line them up purely acousticly then they will move forward at least two more feet which puts the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I presume that timing is done by digital crossover, if not then this installation is just pile photogenic garbage. [/quote]Even if he has his channels time aligned at digital domain, the fact that they are arranged in the h...

I thought that a digital crossover had a negative impact on sound quality -- especially for use between a midbass, midrange and tweeter channels. So I made an experiment a what I learned was not expected.I used my mid horn and two high pass filters i...
|
I have been thinking about how nice it would be to have have a good sounding DSP for crossover and delay functionality. I know this subject was covered here before but what was talked about is this DSP is not that good, and this DSP is horrible, etc....

Hi Murataltuev,I have two horn based systems but the system that is similar to yours or Romy's is the one I am currently building. The drivers and horns are as follows.38hz - 160hz - Tad 1601b - Bass Array (4)160hz - 600hz - Supravox 285-2000 hornfab...
|
I think it might be very interesting to introduce the high-pass filtration for tapped horn and to see how it behaves. It is not only about thermal overload and restriction of excursion. The unloading of none-used bass generally clean-up the transpare...

I've been having love/hate relationship with Lowther (and its siblings) for several years now. As you all say, it has many problems to use as a full-ranger. Right now, my set up is a 3way multi-amp, Lowther (Reps 1) in Medallion cabi...
|
Sucks! I moved the bass channels around the room and looks like this huge bump around of 60 Hz the right channel has because the “rotunda” that I have on right (the equipment bay) acts as Helmholtz resonator. Regarding the reason, I do not see now to...

I sincerely feel that all those conversations about space
and the rest of the Audio G-spot words are irrelevant until people who engage
in conversation are exposed to a properly implemented Auro 3d or any other objects-oriented

Yep, it is a lot of work and it might look like not well organized work but there is good part in all of it – when you will be do you will be done and you would never do it again. Practice shows that those custom tailored systems are made and then us...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]After a few hours of moving the right channel (digital crossover was not used) this is what I was able to come – right channel bass section with no filtration. This is the very best among the worse and as you can see it is ...
|
Thanks, Roman... I strangely (?!?) feel me like a schoolboy at his first primary schoolday... virtually ALL my (limited) audio knowledge, vanished... and I'm dealing with brand-new problems, like a crossover with fixed slopes and cut-off frequencies ...
|
I find this project so fascinating. I find it particularly interesting because one of my first experiences of good sound involved a field coil driver. Many years ago my grandfather bought an old hammond chord organ(predates the b3 and other...

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...
