| ATC buying advice @mijostyn Wow, you must not be reading my posts or not understanding what I wrote. The "room correction" I was referring to above (and most people consider room correction) is software inside a receiver or other piece of home gear that is a ... | |
| ATC buying advice @mijostyn I get you are trying to be progressive, looking at the wonderful opportunites DSP can offer for "room" correction-but it just isn’t the great pancea it is cracked up to be. It can help some users, usually those with room conditions tha... | |
| ATC buying advice @seadog137 ATC is not big on the idea of break in. They heavily QC the drive units and "run them in" at the factory. SO I dont think you’ll find any break in is necessary. In support of that, I have never in 20 years had a customer tell me a rep... | |
| ATC buying advice @mijostyn You are not looking at this right. Active has zero to do with digital or "digitization". Active can be analog or digital crossovers and all class D amps. Active is simply an electronic crossover (analog or digital) operated at line leve... | |
| ATC buying advice Jeff explains it well!. FOr clarification, the "SL" (super linear) LF driver is in the 50 on up, and the mid and tweeter of the 50 on up are much larger motors for higher SPL, wider dynamic range. The amps inside the active 50s on up are also m... | |
| ATC buying advice @soix Regarding tube preamps, I don't have any recommendations for I have not listened to nearly enough of them to make a judgement. I would say ATC active's reveal a lot about what is upstream so it better be a great tube pre! You will defin... | |
| ATC buying advice @n777 - With regard to the difference between pro and consumer models, there are some in consumer that do not exist in pro anc vice versa. SCM40 has no equalivalent in pro, as its a sealed low end cabinet. SCM19 has no equivalent in pro, it is "wa... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @elliottbnewcombjr : You are using the word Bi amp in such a way as to cconfuse us more. There is only one explanation for biamp. Bi-amp requires an external [line level] crossover BEFORE the amplifiers. The example above is a bi wire set up, ... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @unsound - You have a point there about active outboard crossovers, and there are very few available. Most active loudspeakers have a purpose built electronic crossover designed specifically for their speaker within their internal or external amps... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @knotscott Well thanks for taking a stab- I was thinking more of @unsound than you, as he made the comment about passive crossovers compensating for drier irregularities. But regarding youor comment, yes-its hard to not agree with you! I agree ... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @knotscott - yours is probably the only legit answer for not investigating active more thoroughly. I get that once invested downa path, its difficult to change. @unsound - comment about passive crossovers having "implmentations to compensate" fo... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? The very basics: a [speaker] passive crossover comes AFTER the amps, operating at speaker level. The drivers are connected to the crossover not the amplifiers; active crossover /electronic crossovers come BEFORE the amps, operating typically at [... | |
| How do you add color? @mapman we talk about color all the time in the recording business as well. Anything that changes the sound from what came before is considered "coloring the sound" . Some colors are desirable, some not. It is also true @mahgister that studio m... | |
| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. I want the recording to be an excellent representation of the “song” or “music” as the artist envisioned it; I want my speaker to be very low distortion, so its not changing the source: I want the room it’s in to not change the speaker. Brad | |
| 3-Dimensional Soundstage The problems created by small rooms are many: 1) small room nearby first reflection points will cancel direct on axis information by arriving late, therefore creating large dips in response you cannot fix with EQ or any kind of DSP. 2) In a smal... |
