I found REW to be a very frustrating program to set up. I do think that I managed to get a set of frequency response measurements taken. See below. These measurements are with no eq. If I follow REW instructions I can not make any measurements using Dirac. The REW instructions say to disconnect...

Thanks Flavio and Matthew. Flavio. Taking into consideration that you work for Dirac. Why are you working on Sunday? I just had a look at REW for the first time. This program may be over my head. It is definitely not plug and play like Omnimic. I will download and see where I get with it. Thanks...

Thanks Matthew I have been in contact with Dirac. They are very responsive to emails. I have never used REW before. When I get a chance I will start reading up on it. This forum seems to be the right place. Not sure what you mean by, "wait for it to process that file". When I do a calibration I...

The speakers are Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2's. The polarity looks good at the receiver and the speakers. The tweeters seem to be Ok. I did the measurements that you suggested.

I did another Dirac calibration and this time I ran Audyssey using the same mike positions. Except for position # 9 of course. I got the same results as you can see in the graph.

It may be something in my receiver settings. I did the measurements with Audyssey turned off. I used the distances and levels that audyssey set. Just as a test I reset my receiver to factory defaults for the last set of measurements. Distances and levels all at zero. I think that this was wrong...

Thanks for the input. The three measurements were taken at the MLP with the front left, front right, and subs active. The mike was moved while I took the three measurements. If this is a cancellation due to mike position don't you thing that it should show up in all the measurements. The...

Thanks again. I will do as you suggested.

Thanks Flavio. The problem could be me. I have never used a computer to stream music before and will most likely never again after this trial. I was intending to purchase a Minidsp DDRC-88A/BA unit. Will these units be upgradable to the new version of Dirac? I understand if you cannot answer...

Thanks for the input. The bass sounds almost as good as no eq. It is the vocal and upper midrange that sound off. The imaging and soundstage are slightly off when compared to no eg or audyssey. The speakers have not been moved. I reset my receiver to factory defaults, to zero out the distances...

My 14 day trial is almost up and my results have been very poor. Dirac live sounds worst than no eq and much worst than Audyssey XT32. I think that the problem may be the mike I am using. It is the mike that came with my Omnimic-V2. This is one of the mikes that is listed as compatible with the...

Good luck. I have a very similar setup. Two SVS SB13's that are setting under my ascend acoustics sierra 2 bookshelf speakers. The SVS subs replaced a paradigm servo 15. It is a living room setup so no room treatments and no where else to move the subs. WAF. Using the sub under the left speaker...

Not to rain on your parade. But. The subs seem to be setup more for aesthetics than performance. Do you have any other options for placement. You could be leaving some performance on the table. On the other hand you are happy with this setup. It may be best to leave well enough alone. Do not...

Congrats. Glade the new addition is making you happy.
