More Dirac questions

[William Lemmerhirt]

I just ordered an Integra DXR 3.4. It comes with Dirac Live Room Control only. As far as I understand this doesn't adjust the crossovers of each speaker. What do you suggest? Should I set all speakers large, let Dirac do its thing and then run REW tests to set the crossovers and set the speakers small? Or should I do the crossovers twicking before running Dirac?

Anything you do pre Dirac will be overwritten during the calibration. Where did the information come from that it won’t set individual XO’s?

With my 3.4, I started with AccuEQ, which set the crossovers, and then I ran Dirac....

The crossovers are up to the AVR - so you either set them manually or you use an alternate measurement/calculation system to set them.... AccuEQ seems to do a good job.

Dirac Live doesn't set the crossovers - it uses whatever is in the system and adjusts from there (without changing XO's)
Dirac Live Bass Management sets/adjusts crossovers - but is not included on the 3.4

Crossovers are therefore up to the AVR... you either set them manually or using an alternate set of tools. I used the included AccuEQ software to set the XO's.
