@thespeakerdude Something we haven't mentioned is the nature of class D amps when they can be designed for a particular impedance of speaker they can be very good, this is why a class D Subs are not so much of a compromise it acts basically like an AB amp. With class D amps being designed for a smaller frequency window of driver the normal problem with class D amps is helped because impedance changes with frequency so the filter circuit can be much simpler. Thoughts?
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
17 of 23 speakers in my studio and home theater systems are internally powered. My studio system is all Genelec and sounds very accurate. I know the best new concert and studio speakers are internally powered there are great technical reasons to design a speaker and an amp synergistically, this concept is much more important to sound quality than the vibration systems we often buy. How can an audiophile justify a vibration system of any sort with this in mind.

@steakster , have you noticed that with the exception of small boutique brands, no one from any supplier obviously participates in audio forums with rare exceptions where maybe there is a supplier corner? There is a reason for that. No matter what you say, you will make 50% of the people unhappy. Most companies have either formal or informal rules against it for any of their customer facing or senior staff. That is the situation I am. As well, it would be wrong for me unless I was a paid advertiser to advertise who I work for and hence our products. |
@donavabdear, there are several ways of getting around the impedance issue that I am aware of, either include the magnetic components in the feedback loop or compensate for the impedance in software or hardware. Companies are building patent walls around this, or trying to. For the lowest cost the phase shift is there, but can be contained, as you control all variables, so that it is not an issue. At the high end, buy modules that don't suffer this issue, pay licensing fee, or build your own technology that will stand up to a patent lawsuit, or have a couple in your back pocket related so that you just cross-license. |
@donavabdear , one area of ATMOS you could probably enlighten us on is the relationship between microphones and ATMOS objects works. When you are mixing, i.e. creating, you can place a sound wherever you want. However, for what you are doing I assume there is an aspect of capturing it as it happens. I would love to hear your perspective on that. |
