Re: Pro Sound DSP Units

65.35.36.197

Well, maybe I'm becoming an "old fogey" but I think there is a point where we overcomplicate things. For a home system the only things *I* see as potentially necessary here are an EQ and a crossover. Doing it in the digital domain, assuming good a/d and d/a conversions, certainly eliminates most, if not all of the phase distortions created by analog EQ's and crossovers. The delay is nice, but as most people's rooms are small I don't see it as even necessary - unless the speakers are more than 20 feet apart. If you have to use the delay to time align your drivers then you've probably bought an inferior set of speakers (I know - flame suit on).

So to answer your question - no, I don't see the advantage in a home system. Now, in a live situation, where you might be in a different venue every night, with different room sizes and different sound system configurations....heck yes. But that's a different subject. Sorry it took so long to answer..
