Digital room correction, any recommendations?

Psag - if you don't need analog inputs then you can go for the Tact 2.2 mini. The only difference between that and the 2.2XP (as far as I can tell) is that the mini does not have analog inputs. Both units have digital outputs.

Note that using the TacT unit you can set the output bit rate different from the input bit rate i.e. you can use it as an upsampler. Infact it is best to do this since the TacT upsamples everything to 24/96 or so internally to do the room correction and then upsamples or downsamples the output.

See the manual esp pages 12/13

Good to hear, thank you.

Hi Psag,

Before making a final determination, I'd read up on the different technological approach that Trinnov use.

They employ some very sophisticated modeling and mathematics to analyze the sound. Also, read up wherever you can on the Tact and Lyngdorf approaches and see what you find from other users and ex-users (of any of this gear).

I agree with Kal's comment above regarding the steps. I have the XTZ software and then tried Audyssey (as built into my Denon AVP-A1hdci) and auditioned a Multichannel version of the Trinnov Pro unit. Both units took a digital in; the Denon output an analog signal while the Trinnov passed the digital signal to my DAC (Boulder).

I know some people who have experimented with the Behringer Ultracurve. But I believe that problems with room acoustics should not be solved using those machines. A sound engibeer nce explained it to me, but I'm not a sound engineer. But it has to do with trying to fix a time problem in the frequency domain.

Classicjazz,

I should look into Trinnov. Unfortunately their marketing material is not very in depth about what their unit does!

Where did you get your demo unit from?

Thanks!
