Deadwood Theater Comes Alive - Page 3

Never tried it. I have 4 separate feeds, one for each woofer from the BassQ, so I'd have needed to use 4 transmitters. Now if I were running 4 subs from the same signal, the wireless would make a nice virtual Y adapter--one transmitter could feed them all.

Thanks much--you see right through me!


Absolutely. Even in straight stereo playback, the SSP is doing bass management and EQ.

30" from the armrest edge to the wall before treatments.

Thanks! "All the children are above average" which is simply to say everyones' theaters sound good according to their owners--and I'm in that camp!

If the positioning is the tradoff to use normal speakers, I heartily agree with you.

Thanks for the bump. There's been no hardware changes since the Hsu Quad Pack was installed.

The PEQ tuning went through a dramatic change earlier this year when I had the chance to audition the Datasat AP20 with Dirac Live EQ. I liked the results so I mimicked the curves in the SSP-800’s PEQ. Mimic may be too strong a word, considering the very “low rez” curve from the PEQ. But the results were great. What I need to do next is run the same 8 Dirac mic positions using REW to see if I could have possibly come to a similar PEQ conclusion without the Dirac box. I had never tried sampling 8 locations before. Actually 9 for the AP20.

Can read more about it in this post.

An example of the PEQ curve fitting is shown here. Green curve is Dirac electrical response, and violet curve is the SSP PEQ curve I made. These are the corrective EQs, not the acoustic result.



Aside from that, we (and often our neighbors) just enjoy it.

All the speakers are listed in post 2. Google can best answer the rest.

No, I have never had any Anthem processor. It was in on my short list when I was finishing the theater, but I wanted more flexibility in the EQ, and less in the video, so went with the SSP-800.

Someday I hope to hear a D2v in a nice system to get a sense of what ARC does.

Do these work?

As you can see, the rear wall has windows (as does the front). I had 2" acoustic panels made to fit.

AcousticsFirst. Beveled, hardened edges.

T'would not be my choice to use their larger ones in a room where they couldn't breath. Several feel of clearance to walls. If the smaller ones, check they will play low enough, like a solid 80 Hz. Do you prefer them over more conventional surrounds?

Thanks!
I see them fine. I even copied the image url and pasted it into a new browser and it appeared.
