User manual for Audiolense XO?

[ccolby]

Is the user manual for Audiolense XO available anywhere?

Background: I have 4-way speakers with no crossover/amps. I want to drive them like this:

[SPDIF] → [MOTU UltraLite mk5] → [Mac + camilladsp] → [MOTU] → 4x ([Topping Mini 300] → [L driver], [R driver])

I'd like to do both crossover and room correction.

My understanding is that I can use Audiolense (or Acourate) to design the filters and load them into camilladsp for playback.

I want to get a sense for the workflow before I proceed down this road, hence would love to see a user manual or how-to guide before I invest more into this plan.

ChatGPT tells me that Audiolense is more about global optimization of crossover + RC and that you'd actually do the whole thing from measurements at the listening position, while Acourate is more manual where you'd first design the crossover with nearfield measurements and then do RC on top of that at the listening position. Not sure how accurate this is.

I've got a similar setup running for a year. Instead of a Mac, it is running on a Raspberry Pi 4. Super stable. 8 channels for Linkwitz LX521.4, Audiolense XO filters & DRC, target curves. Absolutely love it!

What you need for Audiolense XO is to follow the instructions in the article: 'Audiolense Digital Loudspeaker and Room Correction Software Walkthrough' and 'Multichannel Digital Room Correction with Audiolense XO. And "What's your budget?"' (sorry, can't post URLs).

Setting up UltraLite-mk5 in CamillaDSP can be tricky. Not because of CamillaDSP but because of the UL-MK5. PM me if you want a config example. Overall, expect a steep learning curve with all this, but you'll be rewarded big time!

ChatGPT is partially correct: standard Audiolense focuses on room correction from the listening position, while Audiolense XO also integrates crossover optimization from the same measurements.
