you have a hifivision store there.... common seriously thats like 10 ht setups in one place


Over all its XXXXXXX cool...

 

[vinod_david]

Amazing setup!

 

[karmapilots]

Thats huge man. How do you find the way back to your living room from here man? Have fun.

 

[uziel]

this is cool man. I dint get the dome size of the yamaha Subs.

 

[gadgetcrazy]

Do you teach people as well? Would love to have some education

 

[aminder]

ya sure i ll help you out , if you have somthing to ask me plz feel free to do so

You have the equipment but the space dynamics are totally overlooked/ignored/absent.

I would strongly suggest finding a different room to eliminate diminishing returns of that equipment in such a wall to wall state.

Bass in corners of walls... that to two of them..and towers in front of them is a 50+50 negative corelation of low frequencies.

The flower vase on a tower infront of a sub = risk of damaging your tower aswell as the sub cone.

 

[aminder]

hi core element

with all that equipment do you think i would have had ignored the room acoustics

i am quite aware of the fact about how bass sounds in a particular room and what are the effects of positioning a sub and so i did a lot of experimentation b4 putiing the subs where they are

these are the rules and steps i followed

*lower frequencies are non directional.

*There are two phenomena to consider when you chose a place for a subwoofer, one is interferences, which in this case means that the direct radiation from the subwoofer is mixed with reflections from adjacent surfaces (especially floor, rear wall and side wall), in or out of phase. What is coming in phase with the direct radiation will reinforce the sound and what is coming out of phase will weaken or cancel the sound.

*A subwoofer can be considered corner placed for the entire working range if the driver is placed less than 53 cm from the corner.

*The "best" way to excite room resonances is to place the loudspeaker close to a corner. Corner placement may initially appear the worst possible place considering room resonances, but this is to jump to conclusions. By choosing a corner placement you excite all existing resonances in the room and the frequency response will not become appreciable inferior compared to a completely free placement. The share of "true" direct radiation versus stored energy in the room resonances will in fact remain in the same magnitude as for a properly freely placed loudspeaker, but it really takes that the subwoofer is close to the corner in the entire working range, because when the reflexes from the corner begin to arrive in opposite phase at higher frequencies, the sound will be immensely distorted. A full range speaker should never be placed in a corner


*If we have two subwoofers in the same horizontal direction instead, but one placed on the floor and one up against the ceiling, the vertical standing wave will disappear


*An interesting side effect of placing the subwoofer in a corner is that the distortion is lowered significantly. The cause for this is that you get a reinforcement of fundamental tones from all the reflections in phase from the adjacent surfaces, while harmonics (which is distortion when it comes to a steeply low pass filtered subwoofer) are lacking the corner support, and become weaker in amplitude compared to the wanted fundamentals. In addition, you also get increased efficiency which means that the input power to the subwoofer can be decreased, which also contributes to less distortion and increased headroom.


AND THE REST OF THE TWEAKING AND PROCESSING IS MANAGED BY THE VELODYNE SMS 1 AND THE SUBSONIC PROCESSORS

AND YES I HAVE 3 AND NOT 2 SUBS THE 3RD IS PLACED AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER

 

[jitubisht]

brilliant stuff mate.
when would you invite us over?

 

[friendshpbells]

deafening to hear the stuff and the sense u posses will yu help me build a setup
and when r u inviting us over

Superb Setup:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:.....will love to experience it whenever i m in your town:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

 

[crn12]

Awesome setup, would love to catch up with your HT one day! have a blast

 

[rana_kirti]

that's a lovely setup aminder...!!! That's a lot of excellent gear in there.... The experience must be Superb...!!!

 

[alsekar]

I am not a techie. But let me congratulate you.
I have one observation! This set up is more audio oriented than video oriented. For such a high end setup 42" tv looks puny. What is your viewing distance?
Give a little bit more specs about screen size, projector choice (pros, cons).
I am interested to know how you arrived at the solutions for video challenges

 

[visaster]

That's one amazing setup.
You lucky soul needs a standing applause to all the effort went into this setup.
I am blown out of my mind to see someone own all this.
Did you have any help or you are just so much into A/V.

You should have definitely gone for a bigger LED TV too.
Projector and LED different ball game.
Nothing you would'n know i guess.

Cheers to you.
