Get an XTA driveracks are great, and don't sound bad for live installs.... but if you really want nice quality, XTA sounds better than DBX. (or go hog wild and get a Galileo from Meyers ... overkill). as far as the digital thing . . . setting up the correct delay times for your speakers will far surpass any minimal A/D-D/A conversion going on. If the speakers are off in the time-domain .. having them all correctly aligned will make a huge difference. When I tune systems in rooms, I spend the most effort to make sure the entire system is 'in-time' .. then I delay the whole things back just a tiny bit, to let the natural stage sounds hit first. Just slightly .... people are constantly amazed at how natural it sounds. Getting the right delay is key! (this is for groups of speakers in a large space) ... the second issue . . . if your speakers actually need digital delay (as in per driver) .. then their not designed right, or the drivers are mis-aligned. Sounds more like he might be using delay to alter the phase, instead of using it to align the drivers. |
