DEBRA / SWARM DSP?

@veerossi    LOL!

You are welcome any time veerossi. Never heard Tannoys so can't say much except Moabs are pretty darn impressive. Especially since mine have been taken apart and treated to some crazy good tweaks that must sadly for the time being remain secret. (Or at least off-line.) Clean, clear, dynamic and detailed without any edge or hardness, and able to play good and LOUD with little power and no strain, they are the perfect speaker for me. Or to paraphrase the Tommy Lee Jones line in No Country For Old Men, "If its not it'll do till the real one gets here."   

What I would like to hear is this same setup with a SET. Bet it would be mesmerizing- even more mesmerizing I mean!   

I came here looking for help before doing that LOC mod. Something I always knew was possible but never knew how until, necessity being the mother of invention, I went looking. https://www.epanorama.net/circuits/speaker_to_line.html

Kind of wondering why you want DSP? Dayton already gives you a lot of range, and with four subs the bass ought to be pretty darn smooth already? Have you tried connecting them series/parallel to hear which you prefer?

I have a miniDSP 2x4HD on my 4 sub array with the same amplifiers (thanks so much Duke!).  As MC states, you'll be limited to one set of DSP settings per amplifier.  Perhaps not ideal, but in the end you're really correcting for 1 listening position, not 4 subwoofers. 

The miniDSP paired with REW and a calibrated microphone (e.g., the umik-1) is really a wonderful tool.  Make the measurements at the listening position and immediately import directly into miniDSP to create the appropriate filter.  *Many* more options and flexibility than the onboard EQ settings on the Dayton, and if you're set up correctly, you can make all the changes directly from your listening position.  I find that invaluable for evaluation accuracy.  So much easier than getting up, moving a tiny knob without feedback, and then sitting back down and trying to figure out how the sound changed.  

Cal, did you find the miniDSP 2x4HD to be useful for making delay adjustments or did you just use for EQ? How do your amp and subs wired?
A. 1 amp for 2 front subs, 1 amp for 2 rear subs?
B. 1 amp for LEFT (front/rear subs), 1 amp for RIGHT (front/rear subs)?
C. Or some other way?

I am wired B

If you have direct access to your pre-amps outputs, you would ideally connect your pre-amp outputs to the minidsp inputs. You would then connect two of the minidsp outputs to your main amp and the other two outputs to the Dayton amps using a “Y” cable. Assuming you need to use both left and right inputs on the Dayton amps.

Another option would be to use a DBX PA2 instead of the minidsp and connect your pre-amp outputs to the DBX inputs, then connect two of the DBX outputs to your main amp, two of the outputs to the left Dayton and the last two outputs to the right Dayton.

A third option would be to connect the pre-amp outputs with “Y” cables to the Daytons inputs and then connects the the Daytons high pass outputs back to your main amp’s inputs. 

All of these connections assume you have pre outputs and inputs of some type.
