Re: [slim] too much bass
OK, my bad, I should looked before posting. The InguzDSP plugin is compatible with SC7, It doesn't say if it has been updated for 7.1 yet though. Must plugins can however be made to work just by changing a config file telling it to run on 7.1 instead. The wiki page needs a little editing. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51193 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Looks like the InguzDSP plugin hasn't been updated in a while then. SlimServer is the old name for SqueezeCenter, it was changes for v7. Significant changes were made to the plugin architecture for SC7 so the plugin will need to be updated to make it work with SC7. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51193 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] too much bass
I forget what the SBR is set to by default, but the SB3 output level is set to 50% out of the box. I found this to be significantly lower than my existing equipment at the time, i.e. my cd player. It shouldn't impact frequency response, but perhaps bumping up the output level of the SBR would help? It's certainly easy enough to try by using the volume buttons on the SBC. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet.

Re: [slim] too much bass
How is the SBR connected to your amp? It sounds like you may have connected it to an input designed for a turntable (might be labeled "Phono"). Those connection apply an equalization curve which increases the bass a lot. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51193 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] too much bass
End-to-end, the Squeezebox system should color your music very very little. What inputs are you using on your stereo? Some folks inadvertently use the "phono" input on their stereo, which has an inappropriate equalization curve, level and impedance mismatch. -- dean dean's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51193 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] too much bass
I have a duet system and am hearing far too much bass when using the system. It's a standard system with the server wired to the router and the receiver/controller wireless. I have ripped the collection as FLAC, and when I play anything the bass is overwhelming. I can play a cd through the system and it sounds perfect; play the same cd through the duet and I get the bass. Not sure if this is the right forum, but putting it out there for suggestions.

Re: [slim] Too much bass:(
Sometimes, moving the speakers just a couple of inches may make more of a difference than you may imagine. My dear old Duntech PCL-15's are so fragile when it comes to speaker placements that it's just unbelievable When they're too close to the walls, they sound like they're almost broken When things are right, it's like magic. Don't underestimate the issue of speaker placements, most of the things you just can't fix with equalizers... My guess would be to try over and over again with speaker placements, and when you're happy, try equalizing -H -- haraldo Suse Linux / SC7 -> SB3 -> Benchmark DAC1 -> Krell KAV400xi -> Meadowlark Kestrel2 / Duntech PCL-15 Everything is difficult before it's easy haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43721 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

This is the stuff in pillows, stuffed animals, etc. It's also used in lots of speaker enclosures, as well. My AE5s, which because of room layout issues (which is a code phrase for "my better half wants them over there, against the wall") were delivering way more bass than I like, now have ports stuffed full o' Dacron.

Try the Inguz plugin. Although at first sight it appears to deal with a lot of complicated room-correction functionality, you can ignore that and use it for tone control. -- Skittler Dave.
