Is DEQX a game changer?

Just read a bit and it sure sounds interesting. Does it sound like the best way to upgrade speakers?

drewan77,

Thank you. I did place the QOL before the DEQX and I did do a complete calibration including speakers, subs and the room.

At the end of the room measurement I got these confidence levels.

L sub 27

R sub 26

Right 30

Left 33

Is this acceptable?

I must say I ’think" I have an understanding so far and I am up to chapter 12.

But, there are so many confusing graphs and flash forwards, flashbacks.

I have taken deep notes and each time I revisit the settings and notes I understand a little more.

Yes those confidence levels should be fine. Only 3dB between L & R main speakers means your mic was fractionally off centre so look at the impulse response of both in one viewer window, zoom in and take the mid point timing as the reading. (It will probably be no more than 1 or 2 fractions of a ms difference between the two main peaks & only really visible at a high zoom level).

The best way to set mains to subs is first to align the faster sub (usually nearest to your listening/measuring position) to the slower sub, then align the pair of main speakers (average reading as above), also with the slowest sub.

Finally, take another measurement afterwards to verify & you should see both subs initial peak at the same point & the main speakers main peak now also at the same time alignment. I always find it best to open two viewer windows, one for the pair of mains, one for the pair of subs. If you try and see all 4 measurements in one viewer, the scale usually makes the sub measurements look almost flat and impossible to interpret accurately.

drewan77,

Thank you for the info I try them tomorrow. I need more practice. I would like to set up the Bypass 0 profile. Do I need to do another complete measurement or can I copy the speaker measurements?

No, bypass does not need any measurements - don't set a calibration or filters for this profile.

drewan77,

I am stuck trying to complete the Bypass profile 0. It seems basic to set up different profiles and be able to select them from the remote, but I can’t seem to get it.

It seems that I can only select one profile from the remote that will play. That is, if I finished the bypass installation on profile 0 it will play on profile 0 but then my corrected profile that I have on profile 1 does not.

When I go back and again set up the profile 1, from the remote I can select the corrected profile 1 but when I push profile 0 (bypass) there is no sound.

I’m missing something, can you understand and help?

Thanks,

ozzy
