Hi.

I've recently bought a minidsp shd with umik.
I have a dedicated listening room, was planning to use the shd as preamp & dac & phono input for my turntable. I've got a phono stage going into the analogue input, the shd going into a pair of Nord Acoustics SE1200 monos, a pair of Dali opticon 8's & a pair of RelT9i subs.
Everything works apart from the subs.
I've connected them from the low pass output from sub with rca to the xlr 3 & 4 on the shd.
Followed the instructions for Dirac, taken measurements, the speakers are fine, phono & the streaming are ok but the subs aren't playing at all. Ive followed the instructions & setting as far as I can see but this is day 2 of messing about & I'm still having no joy at all & losing the will to live.
Can anyone help with some very basic help/ instructions please?
I'm finding the shd instructions really difficult to follow.
I've come from a classic preamp to amp set up & this is my first time with any sort of room correction, so please be gentle!

Thanks.

Hi,
If everything else works, check te routing table in the shd plugin. You have to activate output 3 and 4. Also check the output level of 3 and 4 in the plugin. I have a similar configuration with two subs and it works fine.

That doesn't sound right... you would want to connect the RCA outputs of the SHD to the line-level (RCA) input of the sub.

I thought it might be that. I've ordered some 2m RCA's that should be delivered today. I've only got 0.5m ones at the mo.

Hi,
If the correct pins are bridged, it should work. Obviously they are not .
