My bad. I was assuming breaking the bridge between tweeter and woofer
would -some way- disable the crossover in the loudspeaker. After
searching I realise the crossover filter is indeed two filters, one for
HF and one for LF.

Yes correct, it would be more correct to call it Bi-amping since I've no
active crossover. Just kept the passive filter for the tweeter, there's
none on the midrange/bass speaker.

far as bi-wiring and was never convinced by it.

both.. It only seem to be minor inconvenience present at the moment of
turning pair on.. Once in sync they stay synced just fine.. Saying that
I have noticed maybe 3-4 times over last 2-3years slight phasing effect
where radios drifted slightly for a brief moment. I guess that's just
nature of how sync works on SB players and I don't think it can be
fixed..

If someone has managed to tweak it to perfection I'm aslo interested

I don't think the crossover has been replaced.

It seems, to me, *@doggod*  is describing vertical bi-amping (as

Hi doggod, 
thinking of doing the same, how did you replaced the crossover filter
for tweeter/bass?

Thought I get back and answer my own question if anyone else wondering
the same thing.

So I bought a second Pi and a DigiAMP+ and set it up as above and it
works just brilliant! :-)

Also thanks to you other folks who answered about the how good the sync
working in a mono/stereo setup.

Thanks for answering :-), any chance you could be more specific how
your setup is? E.g, are just using those defaults settings in LMS? What
version of LMS? e.t.c.
Also pretty important, are your radios connected with WiFi or cable?
Would actually also be of interest what brand/model of router you're
using?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS "Output channel mode", how good is the sync for separate L R output to two PcP's

2021-07-29 Thread doggod


Hi all,

Q as in title. Always been curious how well it would work what is
suggested in the LMS "infobox", e.g "-You can configure this player to
play only the left or right channel. This can be used to create a stereo
image from 2 synced Squeezebox Radios, for example.-" 

Would really like to hear input from anyone who has actually tested this
or run such a setup. 

Is it possible to _easily_ get a true stereo image from two different
players or does one have to fiddle a lot with the sync setting? I have
used sync with players for a long time but having players in different
rooms playing a stereo source isn't the same as sitting in front of two
players/speakers playing Left and Right channel separately (I guess you
might want to add ...). Anyone have tested such an setup? What about
timing issues between the instruments?

Background/ reason for asking : 
I've fiddled with a pair of old passive speakers I've + a picorplayer
with a IQaudio DigAMP+ Hat and then with the kind help of Greg Erskine I
managed to get PcP to play in mono. And since my speakers have the
option to be driven "bi-amped" (they're two way) I kind of transformed
one speaker from passive to sort of "active" by sticking the Pi on the
back with some velcro. So Pcp is playing in mono and L.ch. driving
tweeter and R.ch. driving midrange/bass (on ONE speaker that is). And
naturally that gave me the idea, "hmm wonder if a get another Pi and
DigiAMP+ Hat I could have an "active" stereo setup"?? But as said, I've
my doubts if "stereo by sync" really would work that well. Sure I could
buy yet another Pi and Hat but thought it's kind of stupid before asking
if anyone of you guys have a listening experience to share from a
similar set up?
