How to set up Velodyne dd15


I have a velodyne DD15. I set it up using the auto correction setup. Now i amm reading this isn't the best way to set it up, leading to poor 2ch results.
What is the best way to set it up for music? I don't have a RTA. I do have the Rives test cd and Radio Shack meter if that helps in setup. Thanks.

LL21,
So, are you saying run the auto setup and pull everything back to within +3/-3 of 0?

You cut off the base at 45hz? I only tried it at 80hz, will have to try it that low.

I usually kept the volume low, around 5 or so. Otherwise it gets overpowering. Maybe if i cut it off lower it can go up in volume?
Hi Streetdaddy,

What i am saying is that after the auto-set up you may find that the graph is still not flat...and you can then manually adjust it to be flatter.

Additionally, on the cut off...it TOTALLY depends on your speakers. Since you are running your speakers full-range and NOT using the crossover, you only have to worry about how high your velodyne is playing...and that will depend on how strong the bass performance of your main speakers is.

Your Living Voices are spec'd to go down to 35hz...now how strong the signal is in-room i cannot say, but i WOULD say 80hz is too high for your speakers. I would start at around 53hz and see how that does...put the volume up. And also may wish to boost 2-3db lower down from 20hz up to about 45hz and see what happens.

are you using the Auralex Subdude? If you are thinking about getting one...they're 60 bucks...dont bother setting up the velodyne til you've put it on top of the Subdude...my settings went from volume 9-11 (because of big vibrations thru the whole living room)...to 31!!! much cleaner, much better. huge change.
