Hi Tony,
I see you are mobile. My question can surely wait until you are in a more settled state. It can wait until you are less busy.
Thanks as always,
Steve
It goes in the "target" folder. I tried putting it in the project folder as well and it wouldn't find it. |

You have to at least have 2 breakpoints. Tony. Hmm, I was trying to use that harmon curve which had a bunch of breakpoints in it. Does it have to be a certain file type or anything? ok, the RTF format added a bunch of characters in the formatting. Here is a corrected one. Attachments:harmon.txt (1.19 KB)

looks like it can be found -- C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Dirac\OEM\Emotiva\Targets |

Thanks Tony, What cal file do you recommend using when running Dirac before applying this curve

Thanks Tony, What cal file do you recommend using when running Dirac before applying this curve Mitch Either the files in my signature will be pretty accurate. Tony |

Looking at the file, I noticed the formatting preserved the blue background color that you copied the text from. You need to remove the formatting, try saving it as just a txt which if memory serves me right doesn't support formatting, if that does not work, open a new text file and type out the file manually. ***I see Tony already took care of this. |

For what it's worth, the Harmon curve didn't sound good on my setup. Very muddled...
I started by clicking Auto-Target and playing from there. I'm using Tony's subwoofer curve - I really like the punch.

I'm using Tony's subwoofer curve - I really like the punch. It sure looked like it would sound boomy. What cal file are you using? The Emotiva cal has a lot more mid bass so the mid bass would be even more accentuated with that cal. Which subwoofer target are you using? The 6db lifted one? For now Im sticking with 3-6db of bass boost starting at 80hz, flat from 80 to around 600 and then down 3-4 at 10khz. I haven't decided on what I like above 10k yet. I didn't like how it sounded for music when I really rolled it off at 16k. right now I am basically following the natural roll off of my speakers, but Dirac is still smoothing it out a little. I might try moving the curtains in to 10k and see how it sounds with no eq above that. |

nickwin - Freely admit that I used Tony's... I'm just starting to play, but it does sound really good right now:

# -- BREAKPOINTS - freq gain/loss --- ex 20 3.0 = 3db gain at 20hz
# ----- Must have 2 / 15hz - 20000hz / must be between HIGH/LOW LIMITS

# -- HPSLOPEON/LPSLOPEON High and low pass filters
# ----- 0 = 0ff 1 = On / must have values for CUTOFF and ORDER

The best part of this app is you can build a active crossover and take care of bass management etc with a little thinking. Thanks again to Tony, <<<<<<<<<<Brilliant

Just some thoughts on this.
1 We have to watch we don't limit the mains too much or the info sent to the sub will be missing.
2 Too much boost can result in clipping.
Comments?

Does adding 6db to the sub in the target curve do the same thing as adding 6db of trim to the sub after running Dirac?

How does that work? If you take a flat sub response with a roll off on the top end from a crossover, doesn't increasing the level (even in Dirac) always move the effective crossover point up? Im just trying to imagine what this would look like. If the crossover is set to say 80, the sub response should be about 3db down at 80, but if it started 6db up, doesn't that move the effective crossover point to a higher frequency?
