In that case you're in business - although it's strange that they'd have an external crossover with only two outputs if there are three drivers. As an experiment, could you try using your DEQ2496 for this? You could do the following - disconnect one speaker entirely, and use the amp (I'm assuming it has a dual mono configuration) to "bi-amp" the other speaker. Feed the two amp inputs with the outputs of the 2496 (again assuming you can independently filter the outputs; otherwise you'd need two 2496s), with high and low pass filters set. Then see how it sounds compared to the standard crossover. Alternately if you have another amp you could do this with a mono signal bi-amped to both speakers. In principle with another amp and another 2496 you could do this for stereo signals. One problem might be syncing the two 2496s - possibly different filters have a different latency? Also you probably can't compensate for phase delays the way you can with the DEQX, although I'm becoming convinced that's useless anyway. A final option which occurred to me is to have two (three) squeezeboxes, and use DRC+Inguz as a digital crossover, then feed the outputs to a bi-(tri-)amped configuration. There again syncing is likely to be a problem (probably much more of a problem than with two 2496s). -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31656 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
