Hi. I just bought a balanced 2x4 dsp,and I'm having trouble figuring out routing. I am trying to eq bass in main speakers with dual subs.I now have bass from mains connected to outputs 1 and 2 and each sub to 3 &4.The plugin I'm using is the 2x4 advanced.
Please give me very detailed instructions on saving measurements and transferring them to dsp. Also getting measurements from rew to mini dsp. I am using windows 10.
The inputs I'm using are from left right sub outs. The preamp is emotiva xmc 1.Another question is after measurements are complete and i switch outputs back to main outputs nothing will change.1 last detail I am using 1 emotiva xsp1 1paradym servo 15 and 1 svs 16 ultra.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED
THANKS HOTRIZE
Hi! This is about to complicated!
The 2x4 balanced is intended for car audio.
You mentioned two different Emotiva preamps - the following applies to either model:
A 2x4 (plain) or 2x4 HD would be connected to the XMC1's subwoofer output(s) and then to the subwoofers.
The XMC1 Front L+R speaker outputs would be connected to the 2x4 and then connected to their amps. It is not often recommended to EQ passive speakers for first time users. Subwoofers have built in circuits to prevent being over driven, passive speakers do not.
Are you using a UMIK for REW, or comparable microphone? Are you experienced in taking acoustic measurements? REW and miniDSP allow easy transfer of data, there's a tab to import REW measurements in the miniDSP software.
Due to the wavelengths of bass frequencies being larger than most any domestic sized room, the room is firmly in control of what you can hear, when, and even WHERE in the room. Some have achieved acceptable results using the automated processes within REW/miniDSP but as an omni mic takes in sound from all directions, the dimensions of the room and placement of speakers/subs and listeners and even furniture directly affect what frequencies will be heard. The mic and the software are not capable of accounting for all of those factors, so 'your mileage may vary'.
Tip of the iceberg or entrance to the rabbit hole is a fair analogy to where you're at currently. There's a lot to learn and it becomes a question of your willingness to learn and to do a lot of work to get all of these components, including the room itself, working as a complete system.
