[00:00:11.060]The forward aspect ratio is based on the depth and the width of the room, and that translates into the speaker that you can the coverage angle that you can place in that … [Read more...]

[00:00:25.340]And just going to make sure that I'm not putting any of the inputs, make it a little bit louder. [00:00:34.700]I think everything set correctly. [00:00:48.110]Then we can try noise reduction, which is similar to some of the windowing options that you have in rew for those of you who use rew. [00:01:17.110]Okay, so I'm using a lot of noise … [Read more...]
Subwoofer alignment by ear??

[00:00:00.250]We were going to start inside today and we're going to I had some slides and I had some prepared, but it was such a nice day today and I realized that it might be a lot nicer to start outside.

Stop Blindly Recommending Linkwitz-Riley Filters
Linkwitz-Riley filters may sum well electrically, but not acoustically. For this reason I think their best function is as targets, but not a generic crossover filter design recommendation. For example: 👎 "Using LR24 filters will give you a flat acoustic frequency response through the crossover region." 👍 "Using LR24 targets will give you a flat acoustic frequency response through the crossover region." Then, choose whatever filters are appropriate to hit the … [Read more...]
How to Set Subwoofer Delay (6 top brands agree)
You don't need expensive equipment or a PhD to set subwoofer delay time. In fact, all you need is: The physical distance from the listening position.The pre-alignment delay values. Sound too easy? Consider that top brands like L-Acoustics, d&b audiotechnik, Coda Audio, RCF, Funktion-One and dB Technologies all recommend the same subwoofer phase alignment method. Create an alignment preset for two sources that are equidistant.Modify that alignment in the field, using delay to … [Read more...]
