TOPIC:

I am looking into the application note and the user manual of the DDRC-24. I have a question about the measurement and implementation of dirac live in the 2.1 setup. Are the 2.1 setup measured as a 2.0 setup (FR,FL and summed FR/LF for sub)? Or are there separate measurements?

Regarding the routing and where dirac live are implemented in the routing, are to summed channels corrected with dirac live for the subs? Routing like this: dirac live for stereo channels - then crossover to FR and FL, and summed stereo channels for the subs (bass management after the place in the chain where the dirac live are implemented? or have I misunderstood the overview of the routing?

Hi, does the diagram on page 8 of the user manual answer your question?

Yes, but seeking confirmation that I have got it right. The reason why I am asking for advise is that i have read on the software version of dirac live that bass management should be up-chain the dirac live filter and the crossover down-chain. Summing of two channels would be considered as "bass-management? I like what I read of the functionality of the DDRC-24, but thinking also of the DDRC-88BM to have the bass management before the dirac live implementation and measuring FR/FL/SUB eat on its own if that will get an better result. Reading about satisfied DDRC-24 customers, so I guess both solutions should work nicely.

Perhaps contact Dirac Research and ask them exactly what they mean by that?
