    Pioneer VSX-LX305 issue with Dirac Live calibration, using UMIK-1

    They do. I did take the tweeter out and connected it directly to the corresponding speaker cables: sound was coming out, no distorsion! So, the problem lies with the filter, or something else inside the cabinet. Time to check it, the problem is Im a total noob in such matters. Looks like I'll...

    Pioneer VSX-LX305 issue with Dirac Live calibration, using UMIK-1

    Back from a trip in southern Spain and now (almost) decided to open the right front MA BX2 to see what happens - yesterday I connected only this speaker to the Denon 2113 receiver, and I didnt like the sound from a flac file: it was softer than expected and the highs were not bright/sparkling...

    Pioneer VSX-LX305 issue with Dirac Live calibration, using UMIK-1

    The Swede: by tomorrow I'll find out if the right front speaker is still ok. Todd Anderson, deercreekaudio: thanks but it's a thing of the past anyway, as I've returned the Pioneer and the UMIK-1. I will use again Dirac Live if I'll buy the Nad T758, but I'm not sure if to order again the...

    Pioneer VSX-LX305 issue with Dirac Live calibration, using UMIK-1

    Hi, in the mean time I returned the Pioneer 305 as I simply couldn't calibrate the speakers with it using Dirac Live and Umik1. I also tried with the app provided by Pioneer but this time I didn't even find Dirac Live listed in it...at which point I decided I had enough and returned both the...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    I did the firmware update prior to running the calibration. Come to think of it, why would a reset help with finding those filters? If they are somewhere, invisible for me, and they have been applied (the sound does seem a bit different - better - then before the calibration), then this would...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    In Pioneer305 manual under the same section indicated by you for Pioneer505, they indicate the same steps - the problem being that I don't find/have Room equaliser, nor Dirac Live, in the menu of Pioneer 305 settings...very strange. So there is no mentioning of any filter to choose. Also, in...

    Pioneer VSX-LX305 issue with Dirac Live calibration, using UMIK-1

    Hi! I have a problem at exporting filters at the end of calibration with Dirac Life, using a UMIK-1 microphone (on laptop with Windows 11): I successfully made 9 measurements, and after finishing exporting the 3 filters (after each one I got the message: successfully exported to Pioneer LX305)...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Wow, now it worked! I done the measurement for 9 spots, thank you! Still, I have the same problem at exporting filters as previously: after finishing exporting the 3 filters (after each one I got the message: successfully exported to Pioneer LX305), still I dont have a successfuly finished...

    JStewart: I followed a similar type of guide, which was for stereo only, but I made the corrections for all 5 speakers - still got that error message. I will look at the one you provided too, thanks.

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Todd Anderson: Yesterday I only managed to make one measurement with Dirac Live for Pioneer lx305 as three others returned error message for noise in the room. Todat I tried again 3 times, all errors for same reason. Looks like its impossible in a block of flats to try Dirac calibration, at...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Looks like I downloaded&installed Dirac Live Processor for Windows, instead of Dirac Live - thats why I went into those issues with being asked for licence and not finding Pioneer 305 on their list....Now installed Dirac Live finally on my laptop and will start tomorrow the procedure (now it's...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    in the mean time I managed to connect the Pioneer 305 on wifi network. So I suppose now I should start the Dirac Live calibration from the laptop/Windows, and it will detect it automatically? Oh, ok, thank you for that link, will go there now to register. Later: on that link all I get is a...

    Ok, but on Pioneer site I dont see where I can register my purchased AVR.

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Indeed, maybe this is the reason, - as I tried to connect the Pioneer 305 to network wifi, but after writing the password three times it failed to connect. Then I connected it by cable and it was ok and I reached the step for calibration. But its referring only to MCACC or Dirac Live using the...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Hi! Sorry if I post this question here on LX505 thread, but I didnt find a clear answer elsewhere. I just bought a Pioneer LX305 AVR and also a UMIK 1 microphone to use with Dirac Live calibration - hoping to get better results than if using the Pioneer LX305 supplied mic and the Dirac Live...
