Darren, interesting you should bring this up. I have been using non-direct radiators for close on to 20 years now, and have an admitted bias for this type of musical reproduction. I'm careful to say "non-direct" because there are different ways to get this - dipoles, Walsh type drivers, etc. In my case Shahinian categorizes his speakers as "polyradial", many drivers placed carefully to create the resulting sound. It works well, but I've wondered if DRC can work correctly for "non-standard" speaker designs like this. BTW, here is the curve set for the different mic correction curves in the different programs I use. Blue is the one used by TrueRTA; purple is the one for DRC, and mustard is the one for REQW. I figued since I'm trying to use TrueRTA to check the correction curves, that one and the DRC mic cal are close enough to where it shouldn't affect things too badly. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: mic_curves.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3351| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- tonyptony ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tonyptony's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35615 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
