That simply is NOT true. EQ is completely valid below the room transition frequency and I'd suggest you read the 2 articles I linked up in my last post. I'm surprised a few regulars here have NOT read these articles yet.

Loudspeakers are min phase devices which means that EQ can work to reduce resonances. At low frequencies, rooms also behave min phase. If you have reduced seat to seat variances in bass using multisub, then you can EQ the peaks and it will fix the time domain response as well and benefit ALL...

Yep it's an ATI amp for sure. I bet ATI's other OEM partners are real pleased about being undersold like this ;) Looks like a great amp for sure but I'd be a bit concerned about service and support. Too bad no balanced inputs :(

It was completely retarded how they treated Superman in this episode. You telling me that can't at least showing him putting up some sort of effort in the background? He can move a moon but he goes in a permanent coma when a sound machine is turned on. Pleaaase :confused:

Agreed. There is a lot of cheese mixed in with a few genuine emotional moments. Cat Grant is the best part of the show and of course the various eye candy from time to time ;) I do find it a good show to wind down to after watching an episode of Gotham or Daredevil. Daredevil gives me...

Embarrassing.

What happens when a seasoned video projector giant from China like Optoma purchases a California-based hi-fi company like NuForce? The projector company gets its own hi-fi line dubbed — Optoma-NuForce. You’d think Optoma would completely realign NuForce to fit a projector-centered, home theater...

Haha the Fluance press release referred to it as a needle and I just carried over the bad terminology. I corrected all occurrences in the editorial. thx.

After months of planning and executing a UHD/4k upgrade to my home theater, it was time to implement the final piece of the puzzle: a firmware update to my Yamaha RX-A2050 AV receiver that enables two key elements: DTS:X and HDMI 2.0a (for HDR). This article takes you through the process of...

Maybe but I'd take a room that you can have a normal conversation in any day over an anechoic environment just to shoot better sounding videos ;)

I have the RODE VideoMic actually but I made the mistake of putting it towards the ceiling so it wouldn't show in our view so it just got lots of reflected sound. I will move it close to us in the next series of videos and bump the gain up on it. If that doesn't satisfy, I will get lapels.

Looks very nice but I hope that woofer can handle the bass without bottoming out. I would have liked to see dual bass drivers to help the load a bit but the price would probably go up too.

Yea I know we've received about 50 requests to improve our audio in the last 2 weeks. The last round of videos we shot were done with our external mic accidentally turned off so you were hearing the mic from the internal CAM 15ft away. We will take more care to improve this in future videos...
