Hi, please send an e-mail to support at focusfidelity.com and we'll look into the issue.

Hi @JStewart , Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated. Cheers, David

Hi @dathzo The article by Mitch was written before Impala was released hence him using REW. Hi @welldun I may do some videos in the future, for now the manuals will always contain the most up to date info. https://www.focusfidelity.com/documents

Hi @wus Intel is removing only the AVX-512 instruction set (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-reportedly-kills-avx-512-alder-lake-cpus). AVX & AVX2 are widely adopted and I expect x86-64 CPUs to continue to support them. Focus Fidelity software requires only AVX, not AVX2 or AVX-512.

Hi @Kal Rubinson Yes, stereo only for now.

Hi @MediumRare Impala streamlines the process of taking measurements of two (for now) channels at multiple positions. It will run on a Windows VM on a Mac.

Hi @Ofer The filters generated are long FIR filters which the MiniDSP hardware does not support. The filter design application generates filters compatible with software such as Accurate Sound's HLC, Roon, JRiver Media Center, and HQPlayer. @Rbertalotto I'll respond to you via e-mail.

Hi @Rbertalotto I'm assuming that you are finding that the program does not start. The program requires that your CPU support the AVX instruction set. AVX instructions were introduced in 2011, only very old or low power CPUs will not include the AVX instructions Please see the troubleshooting...

Hi @AustinJerry How do yours compare if you use the MiniDSP calibration files instead of the cross-spectrum ones?

Hi, the ECM8000 doesn't have the best reputation for quality see here https://cross-spectrum.com/measurement/calibrated_behringer.html I would suggest buying a new mic with known good calibration.

Could be worth contacting MiniDSP to see what they say.

Hi Kal, Yes, 2 channel only for the moment.

Hi, Because REW export aligns all the measured impulses to 1 second the filter design software is not able to determine the true timing differences between the left and right channels. Therefore you should continue to use the distance setting in JRiver since you do have a significant difference...

Hi, At the moment there is no trial version of the software, I can answer any and all questions you might have prior to purchasing and also review your measurements. The measurement side of the process seems to be the only real sticking point for some people. The REW instructions assume folks...

I asked miniDSP about the distortion issue, they said this, The mic is simply clipping = raise of THD as expected. UMIK-2 doesn't have a gain switch as the UMIK-1. It's a software controlled gain. We do have a software that we provide for that application. A simple support ticket and we'll...
