Anyone using a miniDSP 2x4 for your Sub/s

[DodgeTheViper]

Anyone using a miniDSP to help EQ your Sub/s ?

I’d appreciate any info you can share on before & after results.

And how would the 2x4 compare to say an Anti-Mode ?

Cheers

Yeh, only to B'EQ though

have one sitting on a shelf, still waiting on the driver for my second sub to be delivered .was toying with using it for one but didn't fancy redoing everything, so should be tackling it within the next 10 days or so if the delivery estimate is accurate

I'd be interested in hearing how you get on with it. I hope I can last 10 days or so before making some sort of decision.

Great stuff. Looking forward to hear how you get on.

Can I ask where you ordered it from ?

Yup: Dropbox - MiniDSP 2x4 Set-Up Guide Latest Version.pdf

I used MSO for mine

If you use a mac it looks a bit different to the guide. It all works the same, ive put the time delay on mine and added the wifi dongle from @Rickyj @ Kalibrate

 

[DodgeTheViper]

I do use a Mac. Think I might drop Ricky a message.

 

[Topmetom 2]

If you do get the mini get the 2x4hd plug in , i was trying for ages to get the one in the guide..but im a dullard!Mso doesnt work on mac.

Quick question for you folks.

Is there any 'thump' if you power up the MiniDSP *after* the sub is on? Or if you power it off with the sub on.

By power on/off I mean essentially plugging in the power lead.

I'm contemplating one but the power would be automatically switched on after all the other kit has fired up and don't want a loud pop to scare the kids (or me).

Ta.

How does that compare to an anti-mode, assuming you've tried one?

 

[mossym]

@richardsim7 how did you tame that trough at 68hz?

 

[dfdd]

this looks a tremendous improvement if you can get through the rigamarole of setup- surely there is a market for a subwoofer 'calibration' expert to come and do it for us!

 

[DodgeTheViper]

I think I’m leaning and leaning, and leaning even further toward the miniDSP. Would love to see what it can do to tweak my subs even further.

I know someone.... shame he's been banned from avf

 

[DodgeTheViper]

And now ordered

 

[mossym]

presume you went for the hd version?

 

[DodgeTheViper]

I did yes.

Haven't tried an anti-mode

I used MSO, which is frankly magic in the way it works out the best way to get a flat line with multiple subs

Do you think theyll do a mac version?
