![]() ![]() I still preferred calibrating with the mic pointed between the mains and 20Hz-20kHz though. The only success I had with 90deg was when I limited Dirac from 20Hz-1000Hz like this. MiniDSP recommends it for multichannel systems ( link) but even then, I feel like it sacrifices some detail. Use REW first: Dirac works best after after you have validated placement, crossover points, toe-in, etc at your listening position.Īvoid the 90 degree mic position: Don't point the mic at the ceiling. REW offers an accurate method of delay measurement that I recommend using - guide. Dirac only corrects time alignment between the left and right output, not between the high/low passed outputs. ![]() Time align first: Time align the individual channels in MiniDSP (+1.12ms per foot of path length difference) before running Dirac calibration. I don't think I'll be dishing out 380 euros for the software! My system is in a relatively open space with a 10' ceiling, so maybe not much can be done, or maybe with my particular speakers in this particular room it just sounds better running all flat. If I compare my amp running flat, Pioneer's MCACC, and Dirac, I kinda like my amp running flat with no corrections at all. In certain instances, I find that it almost sucks some life out of the music. I can hear some timing / phase corrections and find that some low-end has been diminished. I have to admit that it's not the dramatic result I was expecting from some of the hype. I measured all nine positions as accurately as I could according to the diagrams with the chair measurement profile. ![]() I deleted an MCACC profile slot on my Pioneer and ran in Pure Direct mode to ensure that the amp was running flat. Used the miniDSP UMIK-1 mounted on a carbon fibre Manfrotto tripod. I'd like to share my experience with this. ![]()
