The transducer question was addressed by Mathias on today's A/V Experience podcast. Here's a timestamped link to his answer: So, this capability should be added by the end of the year, but they aren't sure if it can be handled with the Dirac software, or if it will require a firmware update.

Youthman will be hosting a livestream with Mathias Johansson on 4/21/24 on The AV Experience Podcast: You'll have a chance to ask questions about Dirac, so be sure to check it out if you're intersted.

Yes, this is exciting news! He's said that he's not planning on an HTP-2 but would rather continue to add features and enhancements to the HTP-1. Hopefully, we'll see the addition of DTS-X Pro someday.

I happened to be hanging some acoustic panels this weekend, and it was a good chance to take a picture of the Post-it dust capture trick. This is what it looks like and just how much you can catch using this method. Please note that if you're clumsy, you may end up bumping the Post-it and...

Todd, I can't find the receipt, but I believe this is the model that I bought: Hmm, the Amazon link doesn't show up, but it's item# B00826OVWW And right after posting this, I see that it's on sale at Woot (an Amazon affiliate) right now for just $42.99. Shipping is free for Prime members...

I've got two more items to recommend. As an alternative to the laser labels that Mike posted earlier, I've had great luck with the P-Touch style tape printers. They're highly portable, offer different size and color tapes for easy identification, and both scratch and tear resistant. the stuff...

For collecting small amounts of drywall dust when drilling, for example, you can bend a Post It Note upward and stick it right below the hole. It won't catch all of the dust but will catch most of it without marking your walls. For ceiling work, you can drill a hole in middle of a plastic jar...

Lots of good suggestions here. I'd also recommend: If you're going to run your own wiring or making your own cables: A good quality wire stripper. Buy a nice one and it will be with you forever Various crimpers: Cat 6, coaxial (highly recommend RG6 compression connectors) Cat 6 cable tester...

Todd, the digital taps just determine the number of filters that Dirac can use for processing. Storm units are supposed to have over 3000 per channel, but that information could be out of date. I'm just wondering if there's a place where consumers can find the number available when doing...

Todd, I do have an unrelated question, if you should ever be able to ask Mathais again. What is the best way for consumers to find out how many digital taps Dirac has access to for any given piece of equipment? Is that available through Dirac or can it only be found through the manufacturers...

Thanks so much for following up with Mathais on this for us, it's greatly appreciated. Maybe I didn't phrase the question correctly or precisely enough. Going back to some of the original discussions on AVS this is what someone had posted as a response from Flavio back in 2021: We will...

Yes, I have the HTP-1 and hope that Dirac will allow us to exclude one of the subs out when calibrating so it can send an unaltered signal to a transducer output.

This should be a great interview, Todd. Wish I could watch live. Would you be able to ask Mathias how close they are to giving users the option of designating a channel in Dirac so that it can be used to drive a tactile transducer? It's been on the wish list for a lot of us users for years...

Happy New Year, everyone! We decided to do a surf and turf for our special meal this year. First up, was a ribeye steak. But not just ordinary ribeye, this is a locally sourced Wagyu steak. Three hours later at 132 degrees, and it comes out of the bag looking sort of anemic. But...

I think we need a drumroll!
