New JL Audio Subs Owner
The subs have been installed for about a month now. I fully understand why dual over mono in a two channel. The sound stage is fuller and much more detailed. I've finally added Wire World silver XLR 7, and power chords seven series, which enhanced the sound even further. I went with the fully balanced setup.
Here is my question..... I have the McIntosh MEN220 and the JL Audio subs both have their own built-in room correction tools. Which room correction do I use MEN220 or JL's A.R.O's? If both how? Ken

Ken, when I have had EQ other than ARO that I could use with or instead of ARO, I found that ARO alone worked best.

For what it's worth the JL audio ARO is applied to a single EQ band only.

The instructions cover all this if you need to read more. I don't know which one is superior, but I use the RoomPerfect DSP for multi band DSP correction. Note: These are two systems that you have to consider both when optimizing the sound output. Last edited by o0OBillO0o; 03-29-2015 at 01:49 AM. |

Why set each sub to master? I mean I read the same reviews as anyone else-that extol the method you mention. The manual provides a guide for multiple subs. There isn't any hard data that supported either way. In the end, the resultant response is a system response and measuring individual responses then joining them together is just as much as craft-work as rest of HiFi. Our ears hear the system response, why not measure ARO or RP the same way? What about running ARO along, then RP with ARO Active? Quote:
There is no exact way, I have done all the methods described and today I feel that I am getting the best by using RP and EQ. I do enjoy reading how other do it differently. |
