Re: DCX 2496 for dummies


Thanks for great replies!


What I'll do is basically this:

1) Delete all old settings
2) Disable all INPUTS & OUTPUTS I don't use.
3) Boost the gain on the INPUT with 8dB (The Ep2500 doesn't clip as often then)
4) Disable SS-filter on SUB1 (Which is tuned to 14.5hz)
5) Enable a BUTTWORTH Filter (24 or 48.. I assume this is a High Pass filter?) on SUB 2 (which is tuned to 23hz) - and I'll set it to 20hz instead of 23hz because of the upper end.
6) I will only adjust delay (not phase) on SUB2 (Which is at the back of the room... as opposed to SUB1, which is at the front of the room). Im not certain if I should measure the distance from the DCX/SUB1 or from my front speakers?

When step 1-6 is complete.. I think my next steps will be to measure frequency response on each subwoofer, flatten them out, then try to integrate them.

Did I miss something now ?



Btw. Sometimes I hear this "knock" every 20-30 minutes or so. It sounds like someone stands outside the room, and give a slight knock on the door. But it comes from the subwoofers. It's not a big problem though, as it's not that loud. But if someone knows what might be the cause of that, please enlighten me
