Hi,

I'm trying to set up my future stereo in theory here. What I have (in theory) is an EP2500, a DCX2496, a stereo amplifier (with pre out and main in), two DIY subwoofers.

1) Can I use REW with the DCX2496? (I think I read somewhere that it has a microphone input?)

2) If I can't use REW, can I in some other way use the DCX2496 to measure room response, and export it to a computer?

3) I want to "equalize/correct" my two mains and two subwoofers. Is this possible, for example like this:



Is this possible, like in the "diagram" above? I was thinking a highpass filter on the mains, somewhere around 40Hz, or even 50Hz perhaps, then a lowpass filter for the subs, at 60Hz or so. It depends on the room of course, and measurements...

4) How would I connect everything? I would run XLR between DCX2496 and EP2500, but what about the integrated amp and the DCX2496? Are there XLR<->RCA cables, if there are, would they be a problem? (gain or otherwise?)


I'm sure I'll think of more questions later! :help:

Thanks for the swift reply!

Just to clarify, when I measure the room with DCX2496, is there a way to export the response into RTA? Or is that what you meant by "manually entering filters"?

(are they exportable at all, DCX2496 > PC?)

The REW RTA feature.. that means hooking up a microphone to my PC, right? With loop cables and whatnot... or can the DCX2496 do this somehow?

it does, but that is post Analog-Digital Conversion, so it doesn't affect the bit usage of the input signal at all. Again, this is only splitting hairs unless you really care about taking advantage of the full 24bit processing.

Good to know. Since the DCX will be processing all my speakers, I guess this shouldn't be a problem. I would just have to turn the volume knob on the amp higher, to give the DCX a higher voltage on the rca inputs? (thus keeping 24-bitness )

Where can I get that software? I looked at the Behringer site, especially around the DCX2496 pages, and I could not find it. I'll have another look, but gimme a link if you can.

Thanks!
