Title: Your First Weekend DSP Twip
Post by: PeterSt on August 30, 2014, 09:11:49 am

This is for Orelo MKII owners using Windows 8.


Load your currently used Filter Settings (do not forget a different gain setting for left and right might you have that in order) and select Filter-7 like you see in below first picture.

Change it from being active as a Boost/Cut filter to an inactive filter by means of setting it to Unitiy.
You see that in the second picture.

Give this to both speakers and again, don't forget a possible different gain you applied to both.

Save these settings with a name which makes clear that the settings are with Filter-7 shut off.

Sit back and listen.

Next, let's have some interaction via this topic over what you perceive for the better or the worse.



I know, we are only with 4 of us ( Windows 8 ), but let's make this our first challenge of how a small communicty can improve a speaker; it was intended like that and this is a real life example.
What's the difference with software or a DAC eh ?

Regards,
Peter

And here is the background of it :

OK, in addition to what has been done in the first post you can do what you see below.

For the first screenshot :
Tick Filter 13, select Boost/Cut and apply what you see in the right hand side.

For the second screenshot :
Tick Filter 1, and change the Q Factor from the 2.30 currently in there, to the 2.05 you see.

Both can not be done separately. Thus apply them both.

I say nothing ...

Pre to post filter 7 shutoff
I noticed little difference to make a point out here. Ofcourse I was also playing with gain and 0.1 dB seems to make an appreciable difference (now at -2.1 dB). Was not sure if there was something different. Ofcourse I was not willing to try familiar albums, because just did that with the gain trail.


The newer 1/13 was immediately apparent
There is a lack of resolution. A dull bass. Ofcourse some of the instruments get a more physical presence. But not exactly balanced. Sound was similar to my prior monitor speakers which also has a bump in this arena.

VJ

VJ, what do you mean with that ? -2.1dB of what ?

2.1 dB gain, we started with 1.5, I increased it to 2.2.  Started at the baseline of 26.5/27, now at 24.4/24.9. The (-) sign is misleading ;-)

But you left out the Filter 7 ?

Hi Peter,
The gain changes were prior to the filter7. I just added the filter 7 shutoff as you indicated on top of it. Something missing?

No, all fine. It's only the sequence of how your wrote it that mislead me. Like first the Filter 7 shut off, to next change the gain "because of that".
But not so. Good.

Have been playing s few hours (music I don't know very well) with new settings (filter 7 and 13 changes)
Not a large change to begin with, but think it is for the better. At least I have been enjoying the music very much, witch is a good sign :))

Did try the Ray Brown CD, but I was far away from 100 dbspl, (maybe 80-85 at sweet spot) even at -7.5 db attenuation. Room was vibrating, but maybe not as much as it should. (?)
