I have a DD-12 and McIntosh MX135 with MC352/MC7205 amps and use my system for both HT and Stereo. I have tried a number of set up configurations on the DD12 and have settled on resetting the default setting #1 to the room and use if for both HT and Stereo. I found that I preferred to set the DD12 for a tighter quicker bass for movies as well. I realize that some like the bass a little more "tubby or muddy" for movies. But I think it is more accurate to have it quicker. So what I do when swithing back and forth is either adjust the Sub output level on the MX135 through the trim feature or adjust the volume on the Velo. I have my crossover set at 60 but that seems to work best with my Revels. They can go down to 30 on thier own so they overlap pretty seamlessly. Another method I did for a while was have the settings on the Velo all the same for all 6 presets and just made adjustments to the volume for each and that way I could switch back and forth rather quickly.
Velodyne DD-15 setup question
Hello
I own a DD-15 that I use mostly for HT and once in a while in a 2 channel environment. My system consists of a univeral Esoteric UX-3 SE going into a Mcintosh C2200 preamp and into a McIntosh MC402 amp and onto some PMC IB1's for my 2 channel setup. In the same rig I have satellite and the above source going into a Myryad MDP 500 G6 processor and to the 402 amp and Odyssey HT-3 3 channel amp. The Mcintosh C2200 acts as a pass through piece in this realm. My question is.... should I be setting up the DD-15 for both the 2 channel setup and the HT setup separately? I'm thinking of the CUSTOM setup (#5) to augment my 2 channel listening if needed, and the other tailorable setups (1-4) as my HT. Should I be doing my room correction sweeps for both modalities? Should I set my processor to control the sub characteristics or leave the sub to control all below 80 Hz? Should I set all things on the processor as I want it before doing the room correction sweeps? I know it sounds a bit complex, but I'm counting on advice from my fellow audio/video docs! Thanks. Dave
