    I have a RLC-1E remote line controller that needs a 12V power supply. It also says [email protected] I’m not sure why they would sell it without the power supply, but they did. Anyway, if I find a power supply on eBay that matches those specs and has the right connector, can I be confident it will work?

  5. Ported Subwoofer Build Projects
    Hi guys, a little over a year ago you helped me build a monster sub for my theatre so I've returned for further assistance. This time, I need help building a bandpass enclosure for an exterior application (pool / patio). I want it to be bandpass because I plan to bury the main enclosure and...

    I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I just finished upgrading an HP Elitebook 8530p with a new SSD and fresh install of Win7 to use with REW and a UMIK-1. However it seems that despite my best efforts the hardware only supports 2 channel over HDMI. There are no settings in BIOS for HDMI and...

    Hello, I am new to the DIY speaker building craze and am working on my first set of main speakers. I have selected Zaph Audio 5.5tt due to its smaller size and have been working on the list of items I will need for the crossover, which brings me to the questions I have. The crossovers call for...

    I am a new user of REW V5 with a UMIK-1. Whilst the manual shows many techniques to measure / analyze my room I am unable to locate what are acoustic specs for a well treated room. i.e. once I treat my room acoustically what numbers should I aim to achieve? Can someone help me establish some...

    I got the following information from Pioneer. What is disappointing to me, is that the 9 band equalizer is graphic, not parametric. When I did these adjustments manually, a graphic equalizer was useful, but when I could look at the frequency response on an oscilloscope, there were some sharp...

    There have been several posts here guessing what YPAO does and does not do on a Yamaha A/V, including that it does not EQ the lower frequencies. Here is what Yamaha told me via email: YPAO calibration equalizes the sound for each individual speaker. The audio is equalized in seven bands. The...

    I am looking at buying the XPA -5 barely used from an individual, and looking at the specs it says S/[email protected] and at .1percent [email protected]/1meter. Isn't 97 kind of low on the noise floor? Would I have to turn down the gain on my sub to keep any hum from being introduced? And in doing so, not get the...

    This topic came up in an Audio Processing thread. This thread will be a continuation of the topic, as a sticky thread in a more appropriate forum, to cover the following: A list of speaker companies who specify off-axis frequency response for their speakers.

    I was going through my basement today and found an old Adire Audio PR-15. I was wondering if anybody has the specs for this passive radiator. I have been using Google but just cannot find anything. I need Vas, Fs, Xmax, Qms, and Sd. Thanks!

    I decided to post another thread instead of updating the old one so people could see the new specs better. As promised we got in new soft parts to make the woofers work better for HT use. Here are the parameters from the 18" we just built up a few minutes ago: 18" D2 Re: 3.5 Ohms Fs: 17 Hz...
