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? Sorry No. The only unit that can do 6 or more height channels and multiple subs will be the RMC-1 with expansion modules. Lonnie

I use the same arrangement with the adapter at the hub end. I'd have to suspect a cable. Are you using a stereo cable or mono. (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? I've always used mono for both trigger and IR cables. Iβve had trouble with stereo, but have heard some say theirs works. If youβre using stereo, that could be the problem.

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. No trouble at all. I just have to remember. π

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. When using the rear wired IR input on the rear, you must Disable the Front IR Blaster, and Front IR In. If this is not done then device confusion is the result. Settings:: Advanced Setup:: Front IR . . . edit: oops, now I see you found the settings. Man, you go away for a few hours and the whole place gets loaded up with posts!

One more question please. I see the Front Wide's have a 'Bi Amp Front' in the Size Menu. Is that selection forthcoming, and what features will be implemented? Thanks.

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 According to Flavio (of Dirac), a version is working on Storm Audio" www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/dirac-live-bass-management.9786/page-5#post-395638The marketing and messaging around these products are not crisp. Dirac Bass Control feature set also seems to be wiggling a bit. - Rich

Also,Β some of us like to use the full Olympic bar for curls.Β 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.Β Β Β I was cracking up reading your gym rules.Β I'm totally with you on the reracking of weights. It annoys the hell out of me. I thought the gym rules were kind of funny, so I threw them in. 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 I'm going out on a limb and assume you go to Lifetime Fitness. ππππ

What it does is mirror the front left and right outputs so you can bi-amp your main speakers easily. Lonnie

I didn't realize it created a parallel front set of outputs. It looks like Level and Distance are Not independently available for the Bi Amp selection. True? Do Distance, Level, Size, and Xover track with the Front L and R outputs?

How long have you been lifting? Lonnie Off and on since high school. I got into the whole science behind it, along with form and such, several years back. Right now, I follow Athlean-X programs. YouTube him. He breaks things down to science based on direction of muscle fibers, joints, etc etc. It's pretty cool. It's kicking my ass too. This quarantine has gotten me really out of shape. My deadlift game is WEAK! I also got into Spartan races last year, so I go between muscle building and race conditioning.

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? 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. Iβll just add that Iβm 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 Iβd 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 youβve done it) that your cable and connectors are good β I built my own to go from the Harmonyβs 2.5mm TS to the RMC/XMC 3.5mm TS. Checked the cables multiple times, but thanks for the suggestion. πI don't have the equipment or the skills to make my own cable πBut I think I will look for a mini jack to micro jack cable in stereo or mono depending on what geebo comes back with.

Lonnie Separate crossovers would be nice though... When a 24 dB per octive crossover is applied, at what frequency does the attenuation begin? For example, if set to 80 Hz, is 80 the start? - Rich

When a 24 dB per octive crossover is applied, at what frequency does the attenuation begin? For example, if set to 80 Hz, is 80 the start? - Rich No crossover drops from "1" (0 dB) to "0" (-infinite dB) right at the crossover frequency. The default answer is that it is the -3 dB point, so if your crossover is comprised of a 80 Hz LPF and 80 Hz HPF then the sum of output from the crossover (and hopefully the speakers) is 0 dB. The standard Linkwitz-Riley crossover topology provides flat response through the crossover region as desired. The general answer is rolloff starts a little "before" the corner frequency. HTH - Don p.s. Using some processing to create active crossovers for bi-amp would be a huge plus for those that want that feature...

When a 24 dB per octive crossover is applied, at what frequency does the attenuation begin? For example, if set to 80 Hz, is 80 the start? - Rich The frequency of a crossover is it's turnover point. The attenuation at that point is determined by the filter type. Attenuation starts beyond the crossover frequency. Some common filter examples would be BW, BS, and LR, with different slopes based on the order of the crossover. There are others. Your question is a bit difficult to answer because real crossovers include both electrical and acoustical parameters. Crossovers do not necessarily give flat response in the crossover region. .
