What is miniDSP used for?

What is miniDSP used for?

The miniDSP’s concept is to provide easy to use Digital Signal Processors(DSP) for audio filtering applications. From system tuning to multi-way crossover, our software programmable platforms can fulfil your dream audio project in few clicks of a mouse.

Does miniDSP add delay?

In a miniDSP crossover, we use the Delay parameter in the output channels to delay the signal from the tweeter by a small amount of time. The result is that the acoustic waveform from both drivers will arrive at the listener’s ear at the same time.

Is miniDSP a DAC?

This is a brief review and measurements of miniDSP 2×4 HD Processor and USB DAC. I purchased this online and seems like the price as of this writing is USD $207 as of this writing. This is a USB DAC with Toslink optical input and analog/digital in, four channel digital signal processor (DSP).

Is Dirac better than Rew?

REW is a more hands-on tool, for those who like to learn and experiment. Dirac Live is a proprietary algorithm that miniDSP licenses from Dirac Research. While the cost of the licensing is built into the price of each Dirac Live-capable hardware unit, it is a significant part of the cost. REW is completely free.

Where is miniDSP located?

Hong Kong
Started back 2009, miniDSP is a technology company focusing on Digital Signal Processing platforms (DSP) for audio applications. We’re audio lovers based in Hong Kong, a hectic but fun city.

What does miniDSP 2×4 do?

The miniDSP 2×4 in a box is a flexible pocket size DSP processor with 2 x analog IN, 4 x analog OUT. Combined with a plug-in software for programming, one can configure the on board Audio processing filters real time from a PC or Mac environment.

What does a miniDSP 2×4 HD do?

Product Description. The miniDSP 2×4 HD is jam-packed with miniDSP’s tried and proven audio processing functionality: flexible parametric EQ, Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley crossovers, advanced biquad programming, and delay on each output channel.

How is speaker delay measured?

To calculate the speaker delay, divide the distance from the sound source by the speed of sound. This determines the time it takes the sound from the speaker to reach the person.

How is Rew time delay calculated?

Measure front left and right speakers[Top] Click on the “Measure” button (top left of the main window). Check the frequency sweep range and level. Set Timing (towards the top right of the window that pops up) to “Use acoustic timing reference.” Now run a levels check and then the measurement sweep.

Is Dirac live worth?

100% yes IF you already have the room and equipment to make it shine. It was one of the last things I did, and I’m glad it wasn’t one of the first, as the difference wouldn’t have been as dramatic.

How much does Dirac cost?

At a cost of $349, the price is significant but not prohibitive, especially considering just how much knowledge can be gleaned from the measurement process.

Where does miniDSP ship from?

miniDSP typically ships all its products from Hong Kong but we may very well be right around the corner! Get local support, low cost shipping and no import tax from our miniDSP dealers.

What is a miniDSP HD?

The miniDSP 2×4 HD digital signal processor is jam-packed with tried and proven audio processing functionality like flexible parametric EQ, Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley crossovers, advanced biquad programming, and delay on each of the 4 output channels.

What is DSP crossover?

With modern DSP (digital signal processing) technology, active crossovers can be implemented entirely with digital computation. This means that the audio processing can be changed much more easily, without any hardware changes. The amount of audio processing is limited only by the DSP power available.

When should I use delay speakers?

We’ve already discussed that one of the uses for delayed speakers is to make up for the decrease in high frequencies that occurs as sound travels over great distances. Depending on how far back your delayed speakers are from the main speakers, you may only need to reinforce highs or mids/highs.
