    1 method that works every time for subwoofer alignment
    In previous videos I have mentioned several methods for subwoofer crossover alignment that don't work. In this video I reveal the one method I have discovered that does work, every time.

      Hello Nathan, thank you for all that you do. is there a list of speakers avaiable that are currently included into the app?

      @@bassdabob Hey Bob, I did have one on the homepage, but it was a bit out of date so I just took it down. At the moment the only way is to sign up for the free trial, get into the app, and look at the list. Of course, if there are any speakers missing, I'm happy to help you add them to the app.

      Hey Nipun, I looked it up on SubAligner, but you could find it manually using a number of methods.

    How We can get some pre delay number? I dont understant it. Thank you for answer.

      Hey Tomas, the easy answer is to contact the manufacturer. If that doesn't work, watch this: th-cam.com/video/198tbz8Xj4I/w-d-xo.html

    Have you tried this method in the field, yet? What were your results?

    • @le-chris
      @le-chris 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Often, when the acoustic situation in a room is not optimal, for example if there are a lot of reflections, I have had a hard time to get a sufficiently accurate phase plot measuring from the point of the spacial crossover that I want to align.
      An approach that has worked well for me to handle these situations, is to measure each element in it's near field and perform the settings for a good crossover there, and then adjust the settings based on the distance that is measured with a laser.
      I think that's basically the same approach you are describing here. the optimization in the near field is establishing what you are calling the pre delay, and then the laser is used to compensate for the geometric delay.
      I wouldn't not go as far to say it works well every time, because the behavior in the far field might be different, especially if you are indoors in suboptimal rooms, but it works well more often than not.
      In the end, as always, it's a good idea to verify with measurements and our ears, if the recepy we have been following for optimization has actually led to a good result.

    People don't use it in the field because it's unrealistic to the variables present in each situation.

    • @nathanlively
      @nathanlively  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Craig! I respectfully disagree. I use it in the field all the time now. If I'm the person setting up the sound system then I know every component in the signal chain and therefore what the combined phase response will be at the speaker's output. You'll find that this method is recommended by many pro audio manufacturers including L-Acoustics, d&b, NEXO, Coda, RCF, Funktion-One & dB Technologies. Please take a look at this compiled list as an example: www.sounddesignlive.com/sub-alignment-l-acoustics-db-nexo-coda-rcf-funktion-one-db-technologies/
