TOPIC:

If you close the freq adjustment curtain, set both freq dividers all the way down or up, essentially removing any freq correction, would the DDRC then only adjust for speaker impulse response?

If so, then would it be best to only take one measurement at the center position?
What would be the best mic orientation for speaker impulse response only?

@ MrDerrick

Interesting question, but unfortunately we've got no idea since we've never heard of anybody using the platform as such... I am hypothezing that from the point you close both curtains, the DIRAC will not perform any correction at all.. Just a guess.. Maybe something you can easily confirm with Dirac live trial software?

I have an 88a and have a similar question. If I move the upper curtain down to 300 Hz, does that remove magnitude and mixed phase (impulse) correction above 300 Hz, or just magnitude correction?

@ Darrellh44

If the curtain is moved down to 300 Hz the magnitude correction is removed but not the phase correction

Is there a way to place a curtain on both phase and magnitude correction? I would like Dirac to only apply correction below the Schroeder frequency.

The purpose of the curtain is really here to control up to where you control..
Note that you're switching between above and below in your questions,

"If I move the upper curtain down to 300 Hz, does that remove magnitude and mixed phase (impulse) correction above 300 Hz, or just magnitude correction? "

We answered for "above".

I think my original question was consistent (maybe I should have said right curtain instead of upper), but let me ask a different way. Is there a way to force Dirac to only correct magnitude and phase between 20 Hz and 300 Hz? I want all frequencies above 300 Hz untouched by Dirac. I would then use my 88BM's PEQ filters to correct just the anechoic response of my speakers.

Yes, it's indeed possible. Simply drag the curtain to be between 20 and 300Hz.

Let's try to get question/answer right:
Question:If I move the upper curtain down to 300 Hz, does that remove magnitude and mixed phase (impulse) correction above 300 Hz, or just magnitude correction?
Answer: If the curtain is moved down to 300 Hz the magnitude correction is removed but not the phase correction

in other words, YES, it WILL remove magnitude correction "above" 300 Hz but not the phase correction.

Does this clarify?

Still confused. In my last post I asked:
"Is there a way to force Dirac to only correct magnitude and phase between 20 Hz and 300 Hz?" Note I asked magnitude AND phase.

You answered:
"Yes, it's indeed possible. Simply drag the curtain to be between 20 and 300Hz."

Then you went on to say:
""YES, it WILL remove magnitude correction "above" 300 Hz but not the phase correction.

These two statements to me are in conflict regarding phase correction between the curtains.

Thanks,
Darrell

C'mon, the answer was quite clear the first time: www.minidsp.com/forum/dirac-series-suppo...orrection-only#30141

Thanks John, but apparently there was some confusion in the way I asked the original question, so I'm not sure what that first response means. Also Markus in the AVS forum had a conflicting response to this as well, ie, he said that phase correction does not extend past the curtains.
