Thank you, almarg, and drewan77, you guy are great!
I sure appreciate your comments and will probably need some help. I am now reading the manual and I am through chapter 6.
So far I’m not too lost...

The DEQX really does sound like a game-changer. The reviews so far indicate it provides a very large improvement in sound quality and it makes good engineering and bio-acoustic sense as well. Room interactions have always been one of the most major impacts on sound quality, and top speaker designers have been working on group delay and related problems for at least 30 years. |
Help!... I received the Premate today and I'm stuck on installing the microphone. There is no dropdown box to select the microphone. My mic is EMM-6 6780. The mic works because I can tap it and the Control panel responds and you can hear it through the speakers. But the control panel shows no mic installed. Why did the download CD not provide the list of microphones to choose from as per the instructions? Help! ozzy |
Hi Ozzy, I can't answer your question about the download CD you referred to. I was provided with the calibration file for my microphone by the dealer from whom I purchased my HDP-5 together with the mic kit (see below), Nyal Mellor of AcousticFrontiers.com. The microphone calibration file would have a .mic file extension, and if it is not on the CD I would expect that the person you bought the Premate from should be able to email it to you. Or perhaps DEQX could supply it, if you were to ask them via their support link. Once you have that file on your computer, the mic would be "installed" into the calibration software by selecting "Install Microphone" under the "File" menu, and then navigating to the calibration file for the particular mic. That said, it appears that the EMM-6 is the cheapie (approx. $50) microphone that is included with the DEQX units as standard. I chose the much more expensive ($745) Earthworks "Reference Calibration Kit" alternative. Based on my experience with mics in those two price ranges for unrelated applications I suspect that you would get significantly better results if you were to purchase the Earthworks kit. A good source from whom to purchase it would be Nyal Mellor: http://store.acousticfrontiers.com/Digital-Signal-Processors/deqx-earthworks-m23-cal-kit.html Good luck. Regards, -- Al |
P.S: I just took a look at the CD that came with my HDP-5. Viewing the files on it via the File Explorer in Windows I see that there is a folder called "Microphones," and under that "Dayton," and under that "Dayton" again, and under that "6780EMM6-INV.mic" among many other listings. If you can find that file on your CD, copy it to a location on your hard drive and proceed as I indicated above. Regards, -- Al |
