Anyone using the "IR IN" on the RMC-1, I have a Harmony Hub and if I connect a IR eye to the hub and place it in front of the RMC-1 everything works, but if I connect the hub to "IR In" nothing happens. I'm out of ideers what to try next. I'm using it and it works fine. You have to go into setup and configure it though. I tried looking in the menu and I could only find the option to disable the front IR. Can you tell me where the setting are located?

Yes sir. I've been following that thread to see how Dirac Bass Control is working for other processors. And yes, the alignment tool is inside the beta or newest releases. Hoping to look at it today after making an additional XLR cable. According to Dirac, Mini-DSP is the only one who has been able to implement the Dirac Bass. If someone else has it up and running, I'd be interested to know. Thanks, Lonnie

Interested to hear your results. Are you anticipating any major changes, from what, I presume you've already achieved with REW, other than the obvious correction to bass EQ in the RMC-1. Though I'd imagine you've already done that through the miniDSP.
Just had a friend calibrate my set-up (REW and miniDSP) and it sings. Hard to imagine an improvement - though like most in this hobby, I will continue to chase every little improvement I can get My last attempt with REW and PEQ’s left the midbass on my dual 15” front towers nonexistent, so I know I was doing something wrong. I was previously using the front analog input and just picked up a long HDMI cable for my laptop, so I’m expecting REW to be easier to use at the least. I also suspect that I was doing my measurements incorrectly, as it was my first time using REW. Definitely huge room for improvement if I do my part. Check out this YouTube video. As I've said many times in the past... I won't say I %100 like every single thing he does, but I feel like, conceptually, this video gives one a very good understanding of how to use these tools and why you do it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A6gPCczhuU&list=LLuw58yrB02A1xQDzqfTtlZg&index=2&t=4105sSecondly, some of the latest beta versions of REW include an alignment tool that seems to be gaining popularity. I haven't used it yet, but plan to later today. Here is an article I'm following on the topic. If I had to guess, your loss of bass was due to alignment, but that's assuming you are crossing over to a sub. www.avnirvana.com/threads/rew-alignment-tool-guides-or-manual.6814/At any rate... I hope this can help you on your journey!

Can you tell me where the setting are located? I just turn my front sensor off. Did you go into the Harmony and check hub assignments? You can set which blaster is controlling the RMC and you have to pick the right one even if you aren't using an IR blaster.

They have been using DBC for about a month on those platforms. One can assume they are using DSPs similar to what Dirac codes for and why they were able to release quicker. For whatever it is worth, as a consumer of both Dirac and Emotiva, I have personally emailed their support "encouraging" them to get off their rear and send you guys the needed info for integration. I know it is probable like "pissing in the wind", but I did it nonetheless. www.avforums.com/threads/dirac-live-with-bass-control.2284463/

I'm out of ideers what to try next. I do. I output from a iTac device directly into IR IN. It works like a champ.

The mirrors typically in front help with maintaining proper form. Sometimes the women are hard to stop looking at. Lastly, us old men like the stabilization of the smith machine to protect the shoulders, lower back, etc.. until we build enough strength to get the stabilization back in order. I was cracking up reading your gym rules. I'm totally with you on the reracking of weights. It annoys the hell out of me.

I have a normal mini jack cable connected to the RMC-1 and a small mini to micro jack adaptor in the other end to connect it to the hub, but can see that should cause any problems.

Thanks you for your straightforward answer Lonnie. I'm hoping that either the 'extra cost' Dirac multiple subwoofer bass management system (software?) and/or Emotiva's upcoming extra channel module can address this more thoroughly, especially for those who have more than 3 subs. Right now the plan is to get Dirac out and then work on the bass version in a later release. Dirac bass is an option you will have to purchase from Dirac, we will make the processor compatible with all three versions. Lonnie Is the FW for the LBB (the "EDNI"...but i like LBB-1 better) done now? Last we heard (I think from Keith) it was in beta test, and other than that - getting in the parts + shipping packaging was all that needed done to get Dirac out...curious if that's still the case. Thanks! Mark

Did you go into the Harmony and check hub assignments? You can set which blaster is controlling the RMC and you have to pick the right one even if you aren't using an IR blaster. I’ll just add that I’m doing the same as geebo, Harmony Hub to RMC-1 IR in (and XMC-1 before that), works well. I will say that just last night I had a problem, as I’d moved some cables on my RMC and apparently I hit or pulled the IR cable and it was slightly out of the socket. You might check not only that the plugs are well seated, but also (if this is the first time you’ve done it) that your cable and connectors are good — I built my own to go from the Harmony’s 2.5mm TS to the RMC/XMC 3.5mm TS.

(not sure it would make a difference but it may) Hmm I'm not sure it was just a cable I had lying around, but I just tried to connect another 10 meter mini jack cable I just received that doesn't work either, that is a stereo cable, what type of cable are you using?

If multiple sub bass management is done with a RMC-1L, it looks like only 4 immersion channels can be used. Will future FW allow 6 immersion channels with DBC? Perhaps by reassigning the Wide channels?

I think I'm using a mono cable but I'm not at home now and can't check. Learned something new today, you can see if it is a mono or stereo cable if there is one or two cirkels on the jack, so both my cables are stereo cables :-) It would be cool if you could check it, when you get the time.

Yep, I don't know about your gym, but the ladies at mine are hard not to stare at. You know, as much as I love free weights, they have taken their tole over the years. Tore a hamstring a few years back at a competition, my right shoulder is jacked and now my neck flares up from time to time. Still, I keep at it as best I can. Have to set a good example given I'm the old guy. Stay safe and enjoy the journey. Lonnie
