@@Kpaceguy Makes sense thanks 🙏🏾. I’ve gone through the dsp set up before and after I did all the work one of my subs would clip and protect during heavy bass scenes. I didn’t have it anywhere near max. I unhooked my dsp and did a regular aud calibration and the subs played fine. Has your dsp ever caused any clipping? If not off the top of your head do you know what could have caused it? I would really appreciate the help.
You can do that. Some people believe it'll make your built-in calibration THAT much more accurate. Some people rather run calibration first then turn off calibration, use the minidsp, then turn on the calibration after. I personally would run ARC again after using the minidsp
@@Kpaceguy Never heard that. I’ve always used it that way. Maybe it’s specific to the Anthem mic since it doesn’t have a calibration file like the UMIK or Dayton.
It is annoying that basic processors and mid priced receivers don't have a SPDIF output of the LFE channel output. 99% of Mini DSP users would not have to deal with more RCA and XLR cables and the A/D to D/A conversion.
This is ONLY for using the dsp. We don't want the test tones coming through the speakers when Calibrating the subwoofer. After you're finished setting up the minidsp you can turn your speaker crossover back to whatever you had it set to
@Lowkey_nxthxn because we don't know yet if you should or not. You can use the measurements to find out if one should be switched or not. Best to start off with default settings and then make changes as you start reading the graphs. You can also change the phase in the mini dsp with a click of a button so you can see in real time what changes are happening.
I used the Spatial Audio Calibration Toolkit! I run my subs a little hot (82db)
I'll be trying that out soon for review !
@@Kpaceguy It’s a process that covers a lot during calibration.
@@wendellwendellb339 I'll give it a shot
Not that overpriced Joe and tell one.?
@@Echo-jg8is that's the one
forgot to mention in setup to use one sub output to the mini dsp you did do setting in your avr with two active
Yes use one. Forgot to mention but I did set it up that way. I think I mentioned it in the next video I've pre recorded
@@Kpaceguy good stuff mate i actually do mini dsp callibaton, great video mate keep them up hope no offense for correcting a few things 🙂
Does using a splitter cause issues with calibration?
@xeroh7141 you don't one with the minidsp. It essentially is a splitter

I am curious, After REW is totally completed , would you then run Anthem ARC and allow it to further refine the bass settings?

Why can’t you use the SPL meter in REW?
It recommends that you do not

@@danielwander605 You may be right!

So you should set your mains to 200hz? I thought it should be at 80hz

@@Kpaceguy oh okay I was kinda confused lol but makes sense and how come you don’t set your subs in phase?

@@Kpaceguy when I buy a mini dsp I will re watch these videos when setting it up
@@Lowkey_nxthxn hopefully they help!
