Hi I am looking for tips, I ran Dirac, my subwoofer level are low, I have 3 subwoofer connected left/ right mono and centre LFE. It doesn’t have enough punch. Thanks

Well, in your other companion post you said you were going to try your current arrangement, Center sub for LFE only, L/R subs for just the bass management of the other speakers. So... if you had all three subs before doing both duties, you had more subs doing both the LFE and sub-extraction frequencies from the regular speakers. Now, fewer subwoofers do each, so there's less "punch" for each, as you indicate. I think you've answered your question then about how to configure your subs - go back to having all three as Mono so they do full duty for all bass management!

Hi I am looking for tips, I ran Dirac, my subwoofer level are low, I have 3 subwoofer connected left/ right mono and centre LFE. It doesn’t have enough punch. Thanks With this setup, the bass from your small speakers is going to the left/right subs and it is not going to the center. And, the LFE (the .1 in surround content) is only going to the center sub and it is not going to the left/right. Hopefully this is your intention. Now ... do you feel it lacks "punch" in the movie surround LFE? or does it lack punch in sound associated with your other (small) speakers? Or both? Are you using the Dirac default target for the subs, or some other curve? There could be different issues, but first thing to try is just turn up the levels on all the subs 2-3db and see if it gets better. If not, you might try modifying the target curves a little bit ... 2-3db. |

I used Dirac curves still was lacking bass and also used harman target 6db curve is still lacking bass, unless if put the gain up on the subwoofers

I used Dirac curves still was lacking bass and also used harman target 6db curve is still lacking bass, unless if put the gain up on the subwoofers If using the Emotiva mic some find the resulting filters lacking in bass. You could try a UMIK-1 or load up the Harmon 10 curve. Have you checked the levels the speaker setup with an SPL meter after running Dirac? |

I am using UMIK 1 mic, but I haven’t Tried harman 10db curve, shall I just set the curve for the subs only or all

The problem is not Emotiva EMM-1 mic related, so I don't think it is fair to blame that.
The EMM-1 that were calibrated by Spectral Labs and posted on here show they measure fine and are up to the task.
Like dhiru in his post, the lower subwoofer output seems to be reported by users of all microphones and is related to Dirac's processing and the chosen target curve/necessary boosts to achieve it. It is not a G3P or EMM-1 issue as such.
