| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I think that’s what amazes some pro folks, that "active" is a very well worn path with evidence stretching 20+ years of success and satisfied customers. ATC and Genelec may have pioneered it, but it’s certainly well understood now. The simplest be... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 @donavabdear Far Field multi way actives are not new or revolutionary. The ATC all analog hand made 4 channel P4 amp with built in (analog) crossovers is used to power the "active" pro ATC SCM200s and SCM300s used in studios for 20+ years? ... | |
| Question about Active Bi-amping In the case of ATC (which I import to the US), there is no driver compensation, just filtering. One would completely remove the driver connection to the [passive] crossover and install a new connection straight to an amplifier, with an active cros... | |
| How does a speaker blow out? From my experience too low power (ie HF clipping) is generally the culprit behind tweeters failing, but over power (possibly LF clipping but certainly overheating the voice coil ) is why you blow woofers. Subsonics can often be the mysterious c... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude. Where it is going to get complicated is "deciding" where an active speaker ends, and where a room correction system begins. Amen ! Especially as DSP marches on to even better and better levels of problem solving. Brad | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear Sorry I thought I answered this. I have not heard the Lyngdorf system so I don’t what to think about it. I assume it’s a good product (to have a business actually survive on it), but worth the money? No idea. In your video he talks... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @markw1951 You are completely missing the idea. Active is not about where the amplifier is, it’s about where the crossover is. Sticking an amp in speaker box using a passive crossover is just the same (passive crossover with lots and lots of wire... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I called on Coffee Sound in Hollywood for years and it was indeed a whole different world of gear. | |
| UPS. Friend Or Foe? Shipping with either UPS or FEDX ground is the same- damage when things are loose and can be stacked or tossed. Things on pallets fare better, but only marginally so. The thing about insurance with UPS or FEDX is if you pay insurance but don’t fol... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear I find your comments interesting about movies/video. We hear tell over in music about the procedures in location sound. I am solely focused on recording studios and I do not find that to be true there. Al Schmidt, one of the better kn... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? @thespeakerdude Learn more type less... Learn more type less... Learn more type less.... This is a very wise mantra to follow on forums. | |
| ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations. @tony1954 Whatever sound the stands make, that is added to the speaker. Mass is your friend in stands so the fact they are filled an don't resonate is good. 42" away sounds good. Now how far from side walls? So you are a Brit too! Well if y... | |
| ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations. @tony1954 What are those stands? Can you make them ring by tapping them lightly with a screwdriver or wrench? 6 foot triangle works but how far from the front wall (the wall behind the speakers) So glad to see you invest in the life's work o... | |
| ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations. Equilateral triangle, as far from side walls as possible, use sound anchor stands (ADJ 2’s for variable height or the shorter 3 post fixed height model). That will get you started. Your iPhone has SPL meter apps available. Pink noise is useful for... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? @donavabdear It's nice of you to think so, but to be correct I am NOT an acoustic engineer. I am really the behind the scenes product manager and also the one who talks to customers and visits studios (a "technical sales" function). However, I... |
