Romy:Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?...
|

I had a Behringer DCX2496 that used for nothing and I think it got broken. I do not want to by another one. What I looking for is some kind cheap, no more than $100 solution that would allow be to have 4 order filters and crossover point up to 250hz...

Behringer has a 3 channel digital crossover just like what you want.Don't remember the model, but it's on their site....

Thanks for that collection of negative information on the DSP effects on music, Romy. I'm not a contributor to your site but you always put me in wierd situations with your unusual findings. For example, I have always used a DBX digital crossover in ...

This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering. There is an army of people out there who would swear by a complete transpare...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"] A digital crossover with lower bit depth and sampling rate than the recordings it's processing won't deliver maximum sound quality; unfortunately my DEQX crossover is limited to 24/96 so it can't process hi-res digital ...

How lucky was I that I bough that digital crossover! I am think now how can I search for my crossover slope and find that this digital toy would make it very so much easy. My major concern is to make sure that some frequency anomalies that I have fo...

[quote user="slowmotion"]Romy, there are more ways to the top of the mountain... <BR>And we already know that your way isn't my way... <BR><BR>You bring up many very valid points, but still I will continue to use my digital crossove...

Yesterday I spent most of the day to play with my IB, trying
to make it to sound the way how I like. I
pretty much wanted to re-implement on analog level that surprisingly good result
I got with digital crossover. So, I have built my along crosso...

Very interesting read. I like comfy!Now for ultimate comfiness: would you recommend an actual unit for prototyping?...A digital crossover that works OK, with >=2 analog unbalanced inputs and outputs, 2*3 channels output, possible 6db slopes a...
|
|
Yes, there are a lot of paths.I can see that many DIYers are very much stick on crossovers, changing capacitors, choosing slopes in digital filters - FIR or not FiR and so on.I know very experienced people who now say that with digital crossover he d...

I just came back from Stereophile Show in NYC. A couple of observations. Haniwa's FPIC-100 DSP seems to be nothing but a typical DSP with digital crossover/equalizer/delay with auto feedback through a microphone set at the liste...

So, you use DCX 2496 for deals but not for crossovering and your crossovers are still on analog domain, right? Romy, I do everything in the digital domain so I use DCX 2496 as my crossover as well (but analog SS pro amps). I know you're no big fan of...

[quote user="cv"] I bet Yamamura is using non-causal filtering... this is all running off a music server, so could process everything offline. [/quote] Chris, there is no such a thing as “non-causal filtering”. Filtering is filtering, would it d...

ACTIVE CROSSOVERS
1) Loudspeaker drive units of different sensitivities may be used in one system without the need for lossy resistive networks ( and L-Pads ) or transformers
( DEQX lets me use 98 ...

OK, I have found the problem I had with my digital and
analog crossovers, now everything is consistent. It turn out that my contractor
why built for me the IB manifold confused the polarity of right and left channels.
I was not able to use the pha...

Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS 2.2 XP AAA room-corrector...

I have been running now a digital crossover at 20Hz, 3th order with some kind of shitty power amp. The digital crossover has a remote control. I would not say that I like the quality of my ULF but I am telling you that True ULF implementation is abso...

>>Gera, are you catapulted from another planet? Are you sure that you want to drive a mid horn with Rowland amp?
Romy, some people that know me will say "yes", I am not sure... Of course no, not the Rowland to drive my horns, this is the amp ...

That is funny and I kind of forgot how it is. Got home and plugged the SMS digital crossover into the chain of my new midbass horn. I sat to lie different crossover sloped. The bass from the midbass horn was like somebody hit me in face with a wet sp...

[quote user="KS"]Thats the kind of stuff I was hoping for. I appreciate the help with this, there seems to be a scarcity of horn related discussion on the web and its proving hard to learn the ropes.One other unrelated question that could save me a l...

The more I think about it the more I realized that this 120dB per octave crossover is very interesting move. For sure it is bold move. There are unquestionable benefits of such a “barbaric” crossover as the throwing way bits at the signal get attenu...

If you are going to build such a huge cabinet or put a hole in the floor to use the basement as a chamber, why not just build horns in the basement with a straight 8-10 foot section in the basement with the back chamber resting on the floor, cut...

Interesting topic. Anyone going the digital x-over route should keep in mind that if you just put a digital x-over into an existing system you are going to be disapointed, and I don't care what brand crossover you are using. You have to get the level...

[quote user="Bud"]You need to find an individual who can design series crossovers. Both JBL and Altec used these, because they sounded best. You will need to look for an individual near where you live because they will have to test the drivers as...

I think I figured it out. Capacitor polarity. I reversed the polarity (leads are black and red) and sound changed. Now it sounds closer to what I am looking for, with better transients. Not as good as the digital crossover in the transient department...

After a few hours of moving the right channel (digital crossover was not used) this is what I was able to come – right channel bass section with no filtration. This is the very best among the worse and as you can see it is very unusable. What I am th...
