How do you power these mid bass modules?

Isn't Erich more with Denovo and diysg?

Yes, but I am pretty sure that Denovo makes some flat packs and other items for PE.

My sub is right behind my couch pointed in the corner. I want the MBM's nearfield right behind the couch.

You should really wait till you get your mains first. Dial the system in, then see what is needed. Drop the bill on a usb mic, and take measurements.

Ok I will bite the bullet and get a mic. Is all the REW stuff free? Also quick question... would these color the sound of the MBM's in question?

Its starts with clicking onto the REW homepage, then you tell us if its free

What about those speaker grills? And which mic do you recommend?

Grills are fine, mic I'd get the one from minidsp, the umik1

I downloaded REW and it seems way too complicated for me.!

Quite easy, I'll link you some reading that simplifies it when I'm home.

 

[cameron paterson]

Ok thanks ill read it and hopefully figure it out!

I don't have my mains powered by a separate amp. They're being powered by my Onkyo receiver. So how would REW work with that? All I could do is mess with my subwoofer right?

Sub and mbms, which is where you need EQ and filters the most

Well the mic is plugged into the AVR HDMI so can I use it for the fronts, center, and surrounds?

Measurements yes, eq no. You need outboard amps for the minidsp, so subs and mbms at this time. Which plugin did you get with your minidsp?

 

[cameron paterson]

I think its the 2.1 way crossover Adv. It has 4 different crossovers. I use #1 for the sub and would use another one for the MBM's powered by 1 amp.

Yes you can use that IIRC as you can sum the other outputs from the lfe.

 

[cameron paterson]

What is IIRC? I have already turned off the AVR's crossover for the sub. The sub is being crossed over at HPF 17hz and the LPF is set at 80hz. Will you help me thru private messaging with my mini dsp and how to use REW with a mic?

Bring back the Bose and beer.

Seriously it's really fun once you figure it out.

Hometheatershack has guides that walk you through it step by step.

 

[cameron paterson]

Can you send me a link for the REW guide at HTS? Thank you for your time! I searched everywhere and couldn't find it.
