Re: Subwoofer Setup
That's great to hear, Barry. Thanks for the feedback!
As you and I have discussed, I'm a big proponent of multisubs but I consider the flanking sub aspect to be an additional requirement. I think that distributed multisubs by themselves only solve p...

Re: DSP for subwoofer(s)
You're right - the main thing is number and placement of subs.
I understand that you want to use a DSP crossover because it gives you the ability to choose any crossover point and slope you want, so will be easy to set the requisite ~90Hz second-order...

Re: Are subwoofers worth it?
If you can tell the subs are on, you don't have 'em setup right.
I used to prefer systems without subs until Todd Welti introduced the multisub concept in the early 2000s. I expanded upon it to include the concept of flanking subs. Both approaches s...

Re: 7pi plan and guidance request
That room will work very well with constant directivity cornerhorns.
The seven π constant directivity cornerhorn generates 101dB/W/M and is capable of over 120dB/M at full output.
I would put the seven π cornerhorns along the 15-foot wall, just as ...

Re: 7pi plan and guidance request
If you have the right corners, I would suggest using the 2226 drivers in seven π constant directivity cornerhorns and make subwoofers from the 2242 drivers. Put the subs in opposite corners or somewhere distant from the cornerhorns, in a multisub config...

Re: Various questions regarding 7Pi
Answers by numbers:
Midhorn questions:
1. In the π constant directivity cornerhorn designs, the midhorn blends with the bass bin in the 100Hz to 200Hz region. There is enough output from both sound sources to mitigate vertical room modes and floor ...

Re: The bass levels
Wow! This basically sums up everything I have been putting my mind to task on. I think I will just have to get multiple subwoofers for that matter since I've never been able to fully optimize the sound in my room.

Re: The bass levels
Equalizing the bass is not the best way to solve the problem. The best way is to use multiple subwoofers. The reason is bass problems are almost always caused by room modes, not by the subwoofers. Room modes are caused by self-interence, interactions ...

Re: How many subwoofers
More is better. Place them around the room to smooth room modes.
Going from one to two makes a huge difference. If you have two, I suggest making them flanking subs. Two to three makes a big difference in smoothness too, especially in the deepest b...
