Im just upgrade from Marantz 7706 to JBL SDP 55 and i really appreciate and wish to thank you for your simplied tutorial…. And im done it within 1 hours and for the 1st time with Dirac 👍👍👍👍
As somone JUST learning how to use Dirac, the setup page alone is a Godsend. Of course, theres still a lot more to learn beyond theae basics, but i just want yo say thank you.
Hi hello …. Im just bought my JBL SDP55 and i wish to thank you for the knowledge you share on Dirac calibration… i follow exactly like you did and i able to do it perfectly for the 1st time and this also my first experience using Dirac Live …. TQSM you safe my time a lot 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much for such a detailed tutorial ❤ Just one question about mic. How you make a calibration file you load before start DIRAC measurements? I found some recomendation about UMIK-1 or 2 mic as perfect calibration equipment its better that one we got with reciever
Very informative and helpful. May I ask something about Denon AVC X4800H ? Maybe you have some advice for me. Speakers (power amp layout) 7.1 and Zone 2. In zone 2 are two floorstanding speakers, connected to "Height2". I can then enjoy the music from my streamer via these extra speakers.However, when calibrating with Dirac, the speakers are "visible" to calibrate. But there is no sound to hear. Because of the "zone 2" setting, I think. Is there a workaround for how I could still calibrate them?
i dont think you need to set speaker levels per speaker. DIRAC does this during the measurement process. what is important is to make sure each speaker is AUDIBLE for dirac. It will sort out everything else fine. The main part of volume calibration is not to calibrate volume (DIRAC can do this) - it is to ensure you are above the system noise floor so that DIRAC can do its job
Is there a way to adjust an already exported filter? I have filters saved for different pairs of speakers. I switch speakers in/out from time too time and have used up all available slots. I'd like to tinker with existing filters without having to re-measure with the mic all over again.
So I just I just ran the volume calibration. My left and right channel is set at -12 @ 0.0 dB per the directions. I have the gain turned all the way down to -15 dB on Direc and my sub is still set at -4.1 dB..?
The slider explanation was a bit difficult to follow. Why was the mic slider moving up and down so much. Terribly unclear unfortunately. And the settings on this page are really important to.😢
😂😂 dirac default settings for your curve? Open your ears guys, that flat line will exactly do what a flat line does.......it will hammer your complete sound flat. Do not follow these instructions, this is not what Dirac is created for.
Hi, the standard Dirac curve tends to head down towards the HF by a few dB, it's not flat. In my experience of using Dirac on many AVR's 'going' with the standard curve gives great results. There's SO much DSP being applied in the form of phase and EQ adjustment that it makes a heck of a difference still. Cheers
@@wh1972 it changes the sound of the speakerbrand, that's a fact, and that's not why you buy a specific brand of speakers. Maybe "flat" wasn't the right word.....it should be "straight" then. But one thing is for sure: if the measured characteristics of the speaker are way of of this straight line then you are messing up the sound of the brand. I've tried over 50 brands and never ever has the straight line been a good result. You'll hear the real magic of dirac when you really learn how it should be done😁
@@twotraxz I think the point of the video is to help get users on the right track using Dirac. I think going with the standard curve does work well. I normally manipulate the target curves when using the software (as you do by the sound of it) but if it can get messy and not return a sound that mimics the changes visually made.
