    Precision time alignment using only noise tracks and your ears

    No doubt, this is an impatient man's nightmare but a system tweaker's dream! You don't want to know how many hours I spent developing this. I'll do my best to answer any questions along the way.

    Precision time alignment using only noise tracks and your ears

    Tuning 1) Align sub and passenger side midbass Mute all drivers except for these two. The sub will remain at 0 ms, and delay will be adjusted for the midbass. Begin your noise track (preferably pink noise since we're in the low frequency range) and turn up the volume loud enough to closely...

    Precision time alignment using only noise tracks and your ears

    Introduction First of all, I’m not a professional, just someone who used to be obsessive about mobile audio. So, please forgive any misuse of terms or definitions. Digital time alignment (abbreviated as TA) was the driving force behind my first active system. Based on recommendations by this...

    Question on the Eclipse 8455 Custom Mode

    You know the button you push to start the test? Push and hold that button for 2+ seconds when starting the test. Again, if you wait till the countdown reaches 6 before you let go, it should always work. The test will only quit when you hit the button again after the countdown has begun.

    Question on the Eclipse 8455 Custom Mode

    The instructions are WRONG. Start with the memory stick inserted. When ready to start the noise test, press and HOLD the volume control for 2+ seconds (its always worked if I held it till the countdown reaches 7 or 6). The system will run its test and then save the results. Pressing the...

    Time alignment using RTA? Scope?

    I have an active 2-way front stage being run off a Clarion DRZ9255. I am looking for a way to time-alignment my entire system between the comps and single sub. Can an RTA or a scope be used for this, and if so how? Are there any software RTAs I can load onto a laptop that are designed to...

    Clarion DRZ9255 users

    How could they overlook something so simple as individual level controls? Funny. In the meantime I've sidestepped the problem by configuring my "mid" output (multi-way mode) the same way as my high outputs and using the mid-left out for my left tweeter and high-right out for my right tweeter...

    If you're gonna call someone a noob, make sure you know more than them first.

    Clarion DRZ9255 users

    I just installed one of these, and am looking for a way to adjust individual speaker levels. The instructions make no mention of this. All I want to do is drop my left tweeter level relative to the right, but I can only find a way to adjust gain for both L/R simultaneously. With the amount of...

    A day with out RCA cables....bluetooth

    It's just a matter of time before a wireless solution to RCA cables appears... I work for a phone company and there are crazy things in industrial use that will (eeeeeeeventually) find their way to consumers. Think about it, it's not that hard to imagine something wirelessly transmitting the...

    Clarion DRZ 9255 users

    Hours and hours of tweaking my (returned) Eclipse 8455 has taught me that I have no need for anything higher than 18dB slopes... In fact, I liked the sound of 6dB slopes for my mids+tweets much better than 12, 18 or 24dB! Of course, with such a shallow slope I ended up with staggered...

    Recieved DLS Iridiums, PICS not 56k

    LOL I had the same thing hapen to me, the far tweeter seemed louder just because it was more on-axis than the driver side. I agree here too, these tweeters are by far the sweetest I have heard. they have no problem playing down low, so moving the mid/tweeter crossover point lower to around...

    Facts about DLS and other high-end speakers made in Taiwan

    My bad. You're right - it's Sweden, I thought of the wrong place... and I run DLS speakers. Must have been the glue lol.

    Facts about DLS and other high-end speakers made in Taiwan

    OK I've read several posts where people are really concerned that their high-end speakers are made in Taiwan. There is a reason for this. My dealer told me this regarding DLS speakers after I saw "Taiwan" on the products: There are certain chemicals used in the construction of drivers (mainly...

    100watts enough power?

    The Iridium 6.5 (and UR6 and UR6S) has a 3" voice coil... larger than the one you mentioned. DLS I hear uses Scanspeak drivers. How can you say the DLS is "simply this..." - except for this and except for that and except for this, and some other differences... The UR6 midbass seems to be...
