Digital room correction, any recommendations?

Hi Psag,

Before making a final determination, I'd read up on the different technological approach that Trinnov use.

They employ some very sophisticated modeling and mathematics to analyze the sound. Also, read up wherever you can on the Tact and Lyngdorf approaches and see what you find from other users and ex-users (of any of this gear).

I agree with Kal's comment above regarding the steps. I have the XTZ software and then tried Audyssey (as built into my Denon AVP-A1hdci) and auditioned a Multichannel version of the Trinnov Pro unit. Both units took a digital in; the Denon output an analog signal while the Trinnov passed the digital signal to my DAC (Boulder).

I know some people who have experimented with the Behringer Ultracurve. But I believe that problems with room acoustics should not be solved using those machines. A sound engibeer nce explained it to me, but I'm not a sound engineer. But it has to do with trying to fix a time problem in the frequency domain.

Classicjazz,

I should look into Trinnov. Unfortunately their marketing material is not very in depth about what their unit does!

Where did you get your demo unit from?

Thanks!

Mordante... I have heard all the theoretical reasons why the $300 Behringer DEQ2496 won't fix room acoustic anomalies. But, mine do an excellent job. Don't you know that bumblebees can't fly.

Acousticfrontiers, it looks like the Tact 2.2XP meets both of our criteria. Question: Do I lose any of the correction capabilities by using it between my digital source and DAC, rather than as a digital preamplifier?
Psag

I believe the 2.2XP outputs 2 stereo channels and 2 subwoofer channels, but I guess if you connect it between source and DAC you would loose the 2 subwoofer channels. Maybe you can get an earlier version that didn't account for the .2 and avoid paying for a feature you won't use.
However I have not used one of these, so you might want to double check if my conclusion is correct.
