I haven't spoken to DEQX or a DEQX dealer about the port question yet, but I did get a helpful response from Harman Luxury Audio Group (Revel). A Field Support Engineer emailed me a number of frequency response measurements of the F208 showing the effect of using the tweeter level switch, LF compensation switch, port plug and port plug+ LF compensation switch. The gentlemen said there is no detrimental effect of using the port plug besides the reduced low frequency output, and that I should play around with it to determine the best setup for my space. So it seems to me that Revel doesn't share the same opinion as JL Audio about the importance of managing the port output when integrating a subwoofer in with the mains. I'll just take it all with a grain of salt, but I appreciate the timely and helpful support from Revel. I'll surely take this up with DEQX at some point. I'm guessing their advice one way or the other will come with the caveat that the ports are not the biggest deal in the grand scheme of things.
DEQX Beginner seeking advice
Hello DEQX Users,
I have a demo PreMate on loan for 2 weeks. That is not much time, given the complexity of setup. For now, I am skipping speaker calibration and trying to get room EQ running well. It is the bass in my sealed basement room that's the problem most in need.
1. Is there an online tutorial on this? I looked at Nyal Mellor's YouTube entry, but I'm looking for something a little more detailed (but less than the manual).
2. Is it true that DEQX room EQ (unlike the TacT 2.2X I own) is applied to both channels, and can't be used to equalize each channel independently?
3. Is it also true that (unlike the TacT), a DEQX main/sub configuration does not automatically set time delays and levels relative to the mains? If so, how do most users accomplish this?
I will appreciate for any tips/help. At first impression, the DEQX DAC and xover sound considerably cleaner than the old TacT, but the complexity of setup is rather daunting.
Thanks!
Mike
P.S. I trust that starting a new thread is the right thing here, rather than hijacking the long, interesting, existing one.
