Professor Joe in the house! That 3000 micro is putting out some sick bass for that room size!
Joe is absolutely right. If you are looking for Dirac room correction on an AVR/PREPRO you are not new to home theater 💪💪
Thanks for having my back.😉
I really want to splurge on that Onkyo TX-RZ50 my next upgrade. 🤤
@@Bradimus1 Techno Dad always says you deserve to splurge on yourself
I might be an exception then. When I bought the NAD T758 V3 back in 2018, I bought it partly for DIRAC though I had no previous hifi- or home-theater knowledge. It was just what I read was the best, and it's turned out to be true. A bit of a steep learning curve to be sure, but they have definitely been rectifying that over the past few years.

Dirac is awesome. I have it at home (in a dedicated + treated space) and it does a great job. To hear how much improvement it makes in an open space with no treatments makes me feel like upgrading my living room setup now. Great video. And that little micro sub is working wonders for its size.
Without DIRAC the system sounds nice and gives you a sense of what the stereo can do. A little dry and boxy though. DIRAC gives you the fullness, presence, and great sound field defenition. Almost like what a compressor would do . I like the effect of the DIRAC.
Joe.. I too have the the problem.. but your way of using mobile app gives me hope. One simple question.. do we have to hook microphone to avr’s usb port? Please suggest..
First off, nice Specs. Also, thanks for the vid. I'm looking forward to Dirac when the rumored Onkyo TX-RZ70 comes out.
Thanks!!! 🙏 Hope they get Auro3D on that thing. That would make it a sure bet.
@@joentell Yeah, otherwise I'll just get an X4500H when I upgrade.
Same here fingers crossed it comes out in 2022 !
@@Jonathan1003 it won’t. Definitely not in Europe
This is the opposite of Fresh Hater Joe, we call him Professor Joe.
He made his debut a while back here: ruclips.net/video/HzMRh3CMF3Y/видео.html
@@joentell LMFAO, I never watched that video, I just made the name up.
Joe my problem was the Pioneer and Integera amps were let downs in terms of quality. If you notice, you can get both now almost anywhere oalong with the Onkyo 7100 but still no RZ 50.
NICE 25 HZ TEST TONE AT THE END ..LOLOLOLOL. I was getting a strong 31 hz with a 25 hz botoom. I have a Behringer Ultra Pro 31 band EQ, and the BBE 882 i feeding the Imotive two channel amp , then out to a set of Cerwin Vegas. The reproduction is very nice.
HA! You caught that, huh. Your system must be legit!
I am confused. Are you suppose to use the Onkyo app or Dirac app if you already have the Dirac installed on the receiver like the Onkyo RZ50?
Joe can i do this to arcam av 41..please advise
Beautiful home. Great interior decorator staged this showcase home❤🔥❤🔥
Dear Joey, great video. Tried it with my Pioneer VSX LX505 but when i want to send the setup, filter to my pioneer from my galaxy tab the app stops without sending anything to my receiver?
If we’re following the natural speaker response wouldn’t that mean that different speaker groups would have different curves?
Wait. "Go into the AVR and have everything set properly". Not sure about the preliminary receiver settings. I set distances, dbl to 74 on each speaker, set my low cut-offs of each speaker and then zero my bass and treble knobs. I hope I am doing this correctly using Android and RZ50. I'm new to this.
Those settings get overridden. The settings that do matter are related to your speaker layout. You have to tell Dirac if you have a 5.1, or 7.1, or 5.1.4 etc.
Gotcha. I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you.
Jim Harold says great video mate 👍
Whats up Joe great video! What projection screen is that
I forgot to mention that. It's the Elite Pro AV screen I reviewed here: ruclips.net/video/ATG4X9LG_3M/видео.html
I think you have to request a quote for that screen: bit.ly/EliteProAV-CLR
@@joentell Thank you sir!
Does anyone know how to turn Dirac on and off on a Pioneer vsx-lx line receiver? What do I have to press on the remote?
How did you turn the Dirac on and off using the remote
Button that says RES
I notice you're using your mic on a tripod, which is what I tend to do.
But in Dirac's own demonstration video, they just stick a puck mic like that on the sofa seat...
That seems like a big difference, and especially the way Dirac demos the measurements, it seems like it works be well below the tweeter, which is generally a bad place to measure (from what I've heard and read).
The vertical sliding bars are new where you design the target curves. Would you say they’re better than the traditional breakouts points? Is the idea that you keep them just inside the speakers natural response?
Exactly. I like the option to have both methods.
Can you comment on the heco auroras? Think they could compete with Polk reference line?
I haven't heard the Polk Reference floorstanders, but I'm impressed with both. Maybe the Polk R600's I've reviewed are more neutral but picky about where the tweeter is aimed. These are more forgiving and have a wider sweet spot. Bass is kinda nutty with the Heco in this room. It somehow just works well in this particular room, even though I wasn't blown away with the measurements. Sometimes, some speakers just work better than others in certain rooms (especially when it comes to bass.)
Bass can never be too hot +3 is perfect 😅🤣
True! I might be pushing that little 3000 Micro past it's limits with some movies though. I don't want to find out.
Joe, why don’t you have a centered seating position? There’s obviously space for it in the room. You never sit in the actual middle of your speakers? :)
I have a dedicated theater. I'm not sweating it in this room. Most of the time, my kids are watching YT videos there.
@@joentell Ah that’s understandable :)
@Joe: So are all the DIRAC receivers pretty much hands down sounding better than Audyssey or YPAO based options these days ?
I haven't tried YPAO decently, but I like Dirac's auto calibration. I can get better results using manual methods with Audyssey MultEQ-X though.
That single Micro 3000 sub enough for your room? YOUR room? You sure, Joe? What happened to you, man? It's dual sub or no sub!
In this room, it's enough. For my dedicated theater...haha... different story. 😉
Is this the system you would use to listen to 2 ch stereo on Joe? Using the AVR?
Once in a while. I use my dedicated theater system most of the time.
This Beta app is not available on Google Playstore, what happened to it? BUGS? Using Samsung S21.
??? That's news to me
Joe, I would like to setup a 2.1 system for my living room tv via eARC.
What options would you recommend for a integrated amp or small AVR that would include Dirac or Audyssey?
I’m having trouble finding good options. I like Bluesound Powernode, but would like room correction.
Thanks
Maybe take a look at the more affordable Denon products. Is this within your budget? amzn.to/382LRyR (Affiliate Link)
@@joentell Thank you.
Yes that’s within my budget, just wasn’t looking for an AVR with that many channels of processing. Would prefer something smaller and easier to operate since my wife and kids would interact with it the most.
- Bluesound Powernode
- Sonos AMP
- SVS Soundbase Pro (when it comes out)
These are my top choices before wanting room correction. Is there a Dirac option that you would recommend along these lines?
At this point I think a Sonos ARC & Sub with TruePlay will be the best compromise.
Thanks again 👍🏼
@@H2OFSU The Denon isn't very complicated. They have 4 quick settings that can set the source and input volume. Because the volume and menu shows on-screen, it's easier from a user experience standpoint. The least expensive 2-channel Dirac all-in-one is probably that NAD M10, but that's up there in price.
I've reviewed the Sonos products and while I was impressed with their app and ease of use, I still think you'll get a better audio experience with an amp and passive speaker combo, especially if you add a good sub. The Sonos sub didn't impress me. It was too much boomy bass, and the adjustments weren't fine enough to get it dialed in.
Hi Joe, can you recommend a good sub? I have Totem Sttaf's and Totem Mite as centre speaker so it is 3.0 now but i want to add sub and i have yet to buy an amp. I am thinking to get a Denon x2800H or x3500 / x3800h as a receiver. Which sub and which amp model do you recommend for my Totems?
@@joentell
What’s the lowest cost Dirac capable reciever I have a Yamaha AVantahe 1080 what should I do to make it Dirac capable
Pioneer lx505
What’s the lowest cost Dirac live capable processor or reciever I don’t need amp
I want to use as Pre amp for stereo
I would look at the miniDSP Flex. I made a video about it recently.
So im assuming you no longer need a laptop computer to run Dirac calibration for these three AVRS with this mobile app?
Correct
You have been able to do measurements in the DIRAC mobile app for a while, but the new way of doing corrections seems much more user friendly than before.
Do you have measurements of the room made with REW?
Can you put the .mdat file?
written with translator
Greetings
No, I don't.
@@joentell I will be attentive to your next videos in case you decide to make measurements of your room.
i cant even get the ap to run.eror 1001 over and over.
I’m assuming this works for Integra? Thanks!
I assume yes
@@joentell thank you sir, I guess I will find out for sure this week. Keep up the great content!
@@imhighonlife9075 the giveaway is if you have a mic that can plug directly into the AVR. If it does, I think you'll be able to use this app.
@@joentell right on, thanks again! I wanted to try Dirac and this is a way to do it on the “cheap” I’ve been running a 3700h but had to send it in for repairs, frustrating. So the timing to test out Dirac is perfect.
dirac is a sick joke--- if you have a new phone as in 2021 and above dirac isnt available for download as it needs an older version of android
