New Dolby Atmos processor. Poor sound quality

Nearly every custom project I’ve ever dealt with was based on the reality that the folks who are paying for these systems don’t have the time or inclination to learn all about custom install. They simply and rightly expect a reliable setup that functions flawlessly, is bulletproof, easily controlled and whose performance screams value and money well spent. This is why the recent push for do-it-yourself smart home products baffled me, because it goes against the grain of the true value-add that an excellent integrator brings to the scene. Even the simplest do-it-yourself setup is too complicated for most of the customers I’ve dealt with. Whether it is Nest, Sonos or Harmony remote controls, my clients could never be bothered with anything more than basic instructions involving as few button pushes as possible.

I would like to underline that audio gears is the most expensive material thing that l own. I drive an Mazda B 4000 4X4 1999 pick up truck. Music is important in my life, for many reasons. A bit like the link below ( but not as much ) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NF2rKrBtQag |

Hi zzrider - that ACT 4 is so new that I don't think anyone here has direct experience with it. I was also asked about this processor by a friend and I could not comment on it. There aren't any "internal pics" on the net to show us how Acurus has architected the electronics. It's so difficult to say what your problem is. I would suggest: 1. Let the unit run for 100-200 hours (maybe 8 days straight) to burn in all the electronics and electrolytic capacitors. You are likely to get a significant change in sound quality - usually an improvement. Then make a decision. 2. Think about what it is that you don't like about the sound. Is it a bright/sterile character that you don't like? Or is it a lack of bass or certain frequencies? Maybe you can learn more about the parametric EQ in the unit so that you can tune certain frequencies. Give it some time and try to work with the unit. I found that sometimes I have had to sit with something for a couple weeks before I decided on whether it was good or not. |
Thanks a lot, auxinput. the sound is very bright and very harch. No matter the source, power cord, audio mode. Even in stereo mode ( two channel ) the sound is very .unpleasant. l am going to follow your advice, take some time, calm down. After all , there are worst things in life. I appreciate your effort for my case |
