      I am happy to report that the MiniDSPHD setting in REW will allow you to export a text file that you can upload into the minidsp app which may save some eq setting time since my curve needed more tweaks to get flattish. I won't beg but one of the more interesting things I would love to hear your thoughts on is the alignmentology of multiple subs. I only have two but time alignment has always felt like a guessing game and I am sure there are better methods than the one I use.

    @Rachominator 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    There are other videos on TH-cam that get into more detail and more steps. But this video is one of the easiest to digest and implement. The others, try as they might, still manage to make it intimidating. They might be more detailed and better, but if one has a hard time following them and end up not implementing anything at all, then "perfect is the enemy of good".
    Waiting for part 3 of this series.

    Hello Andrew and Kristi, thank you so much for getting the second part out so quickly!! The video was excellent and very useful! My vote is yes to a follow-up video with multiple subs (3 or 4). This is the type of content that adds so much value to your channel, learning is a life-long journey!! Thank you so much!

  • @cafiveohsrockbandremix9254
    @cafiveohsrockbandremix9254 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great tutorial to finish off the series. For home theater applications, what I have found works really well (for me at least) is to EQ the subs as flat using PEQs on the output tab of the MiniDSP software and then run room correction. After room correction, I use a Low Shelf Filter on the Input tab PEQ. Center frequenzy at 35 hz, Q at 0.8, and boost to taste. I find the 4-6 dB of boost is about right, but I also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ which already applies a house curve. This setting gives me a really enjoyable house curve that starts gradually rising around 50 Hz. I like this curve slightly better than the one most TH-camrs use because it still gives incredible deep bass impact but also reduces chestiness in the vocals.

  • @jbones1453
    @jbones1453 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was a great video. I did this when I set my system up over a year ago and it was a HUGE improvement compared to before hand. Totally worth the time.

  • @mohamedahmed1023
    @mohamedahmed1023 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well done! I like how clear and coherent this was. I used roughly the same approach. I'm glad you highlighted that the most important step is to place your sub correctly at the beginning. EQ can only do so much to fix poor placement.

  • @m4nc1n1
    @m4nc1n1 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Oh wow you finally did a vid on this. Nice! I have been running the miniDSP HD 2x4 for over 2 years now. My Marantz AV7005 has dual sub out, but I run only sub 1 into the miniDSP and run three subs. MiniDSP by far is the biggest upgrade to my bass. Even more than adding a 3rd sub in the rear. FYI - you can export from REW then import into the miniDSp, no need to type it in.

    @lfazio9690 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very NICE Andrew. These educational series are my favorite hands down! This is some of the most critical and useful pieces of content you can offer your viewers, especially for those entering the hobby, and even those more seasoned enthusiasts that have not yet encountered MDSP and REW. Investing early in ones musical journey on the likes of the MiniDSP, mic, and REW allows for an easy option to deal with room acoustics; absolutely one of the most critical components of any systems. The impact of these adjustments deliver value far beyond what most understand. It can save a customer signifcant money if hobbyists will "tackle" this process before spending hard-earned dollars on say, better DACs, amps, speakers, and cabling - if your room is creating problems, no amount of money spent on components will resolve the problem. Again, one of the single most important pieces of content you have offered your viewers!! As always, thanks for being there and for all you do! EXCELLENT!!!

  • @trevord3937
    @trevord3937 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Great video. I have SVS subs and an Anthem receiver. Is it better to use the SVS software to EQ the subs or Anthem’s ARC software ? Or maybe a better way to ask the questions: when you have in multiple options/places available to make adjustments how do you decide which one to utilize?

    • @dtemp132
      @dtemp132 ปีที่แล้ว

      Having the calibrated mic at the listening position will make the best results. Is there any other way to get the data from the calibrated mic and apply it, except in the miniDSP?

    First - A huge "Thank You" to the gentleman who wrote and provides us with REW. Awesome! However, I've found that anytime I try to use REW to tune my system I have to do two things: 1) Clear the calendar for the whole day and 2) Pack a big lunch. Oh, be sure you have some of your favorite adult beverage handy. You'll likely need it. 😉

    A friend of mine wanted to build an DBA (Double Bass Array) with miniDSP Devices beside his Genelecs and i can say, its a nightmare to setup. He had so many problems with the miniDSP devices because even the Support have no idea, when you build up complex setups like Arrays - they cant help you. After two months of frustration sended back the stuff. Ìm very happy that ive an Neumann Sub incl Monitors where the software is easy to use but still very powerfull and you get awesome results out of it

  • @SteebMo
    @SteebMo ปีที่แล้ว

    As always, this video is SO timely. Absolutely looking forward to the 2-sub video because that's a spinning-plates type of circus act with everything that can be played with (room placement, ported, sealed, variable phase, distance adjustments, etc).
    Personally, I just like the demonstrations of using the MiniDSP products, especially understanding how something with lots of stand-alone capability like the SHD fits between other stereo separates.
    VIDEO SUGGESTION:
    A video summarizing ways to add an HDMI ARC input to a 2ch system would be amazing (since we know that only a few manufacturers have added such capability so far but it's pretty universally wanted).

  • @PaulHaussler-bs1qi
    @PaulHaussler-bs1qi ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I enjoy your reviews and Kristi’s perspectives. DSP is great technology, but a little bit can go a long way. It can get echoey. We have an integrated amp and a 2.1 setup. Music is more important for us than home theater. We also live in a small townhouse. The sub is a Velodyne ULD-12. Yes, older technology… The speakers are 1954-55 vintage JBL’s, my dad’s. The integrated amp has a dedicated subwoofer outlet with a filter about 90 hertz. The Velodyne has a crossover fixed at 85 hertz. Cascading filters might be a problem - I have not tried it. I use speaker level connections to the sub and from there to the JBL’s. This allows the crossover to do its job passing above 85 hertz to the JBL’s and below to the sub. The only control for the Velodyne is a level. I set it by ear. The sub is in a corner and it works well. With most music you never know the sub is on. Billy Idol’s “Rita Hayworth” is substantial. Movies, well, boom, you can feel it.

    Great video, thanks for it. I'm amazed how rapidly complexity grows the moment you want to move on from more automated software such as Oddisey and the likes.
    At least this software can serve to show off with friends coming home, but we all know the sub is going to be located where it matches the wife factor anyway.

    Awesome, I was looking forward to this video! I like that you started with a single sub as many of us aren’t up to duals yet. When time allows it’d be great to see a separate video on calibrating duals, especially with the Multi-Sub Optimizer that people are raving about.
    On the subject of house curves, if one is using an AVR with Audyssey or Dirac, would you recommend EQ’ing the subs to flat without an REW house curve so that the room correction software can add its own when they are re-run after the MiniDSP tuning?

    A few other steps I do during measurements is set the crossover of all speakers and lpf for lfe as high as it’ll go. This makes it easy to isolate the sub response from the speakers without having to unplug anything.

    Good introduction to Mini DSP. I use mine to control 3 subs in my room. More advanced would be to introduce BEQ for movies. Seeing Bass response with REW and adapting placement and setup with concrete data makes the process so much easier and far better end results.

  • @alexz1232
    @alexz1232 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    IMO, you should start by setting the graph range to 50-100dB. In your video, the 0-120dB range is making some 4-6dB problems look minor, but that is a certainly audible difference.
    It is also worth creating 2-3 different listening presets, to provide bass boost at low volumes, and taper it off at high volumes.

    Excellent presentation as always, but I have a question regarding implementing a miniDSP in a surround sound system with only Audyssey, and using a pair of passive DIY subs powered by a basic 2 channel amp lacking both input filter and level controls.
    I could be totally wrong with this approach, but have long held the opinion that since the receiver (currently Onkyo RZ740) can handle the XO turnover and level control, a basic amp should suffice. So this would be a good time to get expert advice /correction in that regard.
    The question is that while my particular receiver has a pair of LFE/sub line outputs, they are in parallel. Could this approach with a 2x4HD allow for the type of “true” multi sub approach for which numerous requests have no doubt already been made?

I’m currently doing an over the top living room build that hides the speakers, subs, and treatments as furniture and wall art, would be cool to see how you’d go about a similar setup. 👍🏼

    Once you have your system dialed in, what is best practice to adjust for a track with way too much bass emphasis, or a track that is recorded lower in volume? I dont want to keep having to adjust the sub volume up or down.

I remember you saying that the R700 was more versatile....what if you added the rythmix FVX 12 servo sub geared for music and home theater?

    @ssd1123 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome vid! Thanks a lot.
    I'd suggest maybe doing something about subwoofer feet/spikes, coupling VS decoupling, room rattle etc.
    I've found that decoupling via a plank of foam insulation (temporary, gotta find a decent product for the job, if you have any recs btw) made a big difference in my room. It's a 1st floor room that is suspended (wood joists) and quite bouncy and I was getting very muddled bass, and a fair amount of general rattling. It's now much more controlled and tight, and bizarrely giving me better chest "thump" for AV. Interesting stuff.
    Anyways thanks again guys have a good one!

      REW works for multiple subs. There's also very serious (free) software out there called MSO, Multi Sub Optimizer. The primary benefit of that is that it helps dial in the subs so you get good bass response in multiple seats. If you only want to optimize for one seat, REW will get the job done even with multi subs.

    Is it normal to have very-big floorstanding speakers that are set to "small" in your AVR so that the AVR will high-pass them and send the bass to a sub? Just feels wrong setting big speakers to "small" but it seems my Sony AVR requires that setting to have a sub crossover setting.

    I heard about directional base but don’t know if it results in any significant improvement. I think the starting point in using directional base is to have 4 subwoofers in the 4 corners of the room and having each one output when the sound is coming from that area it’s covering.
    I have always been led to believe subwoofers base is non directional because if placed right and calibrated you are not supposed to know where the subwoofer is by listening to where you perceive the sound to be coming from.
