Best Delay & Distance Method for Denon & Marantz + MultEQ-X
Here's My Best Delay & Distance Method for Denon & Marantz + MultEQ-X. You don't need MultEQ-X to get the best distance and delay settings for Denon and Marantz gear. You can actually use the on-screen GUI to get it perfect first, then copy that to MultEQ-X. You don't need to work in milliseconds, it can all be done with meters, as that is Denon and Marantz native distance and delay setting.
Let me know what you think, thanks.

The Abyss is the best of the bunch from James Cameron, but still suffers from the "Cameron effect" and has overly digital look. This indicates that James Cameron has yet again gone slightly too far with his style of restoration. Film grain is controlled and subdued, way too much for my taste. This makes the image quite soft in certain scenarios and makes film grain appear digital. This movie ca...

Speaker Distance: Time Arrival (Audio Sync - Phase - Impulse)

I found a really nice way to set speaker distances using REW, which gives you perfect time arrival of sound. This uses an IR start time method. This doesn't use the typical impulse peak method.

When you add the eq, does that change the timing?
Thanks for the great video, your link to google drive link advises the folder is in your bin and needs to be restored... thanks for the great work
Okay, yeah I had to update it, thanks for reminding me.
To your point at around 24:00 Another perspective on this would be: in real life, sounds behind you are also "lowered in treble".. so why not keep it that way so it mimics reality? Wouldn't it be wrong to force back/behind speakers to sound like the sounds coming from the front?
It's a good point, I think my biggest issue is my seats, and potentially blocking sound. My thing is getting my sound to sound as good as it can, and having high cushions like this is definitely an inconvenience. I think I've found a workaround though that I'm going to test soon.
I’m fairly certain the distance only changes once you move it over the 0.03m threshold. And 0.03m is 1.2 inches which is 0.1ft. I haven’t done extensive testing but I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s doing. I just get it as close as possible in the AVR and then move the speakers a little bit until they’re basically perfect.
That's a good idea Chad. I might try that.
I have done it a couple times and it just takes like half an hour. But I don’t know if it really made a difference. What made the biggest difference for me was doing the binaural mic positioning. Mic at left ear position to time align left speakers and mic at right ear position to time align right speakers. Center is measured at middle of head (the usual MLP position). Make it so all left speakers are time aligned to center when mic is in left ear position, then make it so all right speakers are aligned to center when mic is in right ear position.
Are there any videos on this method?
@@hdmoviesourcemaybe. Reverend Slim in the magic beans discord told me about it. Pretty sure Joe N Tell does it too with a special binaural mic. It might sound complicated but it’s worth it
@@ChadAV69 Id like to give that a try. When doing this do you still use the center as acoustic timing reference for all speakers?
Great video Carl. My only gripe with speakers etc in general is the fact that you'll never be fully happy you'll always find yourself tweaking them its never ending.
LOL, probably yeah, it never ends that's for sure.
Great video Carl ❤ Thank you for sharing this great video! Did you use 90 degrees or 0 degrees for the measurement? Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
I have used both, but I believe that 90 degrees is the best to use.
@@hdmoviesource Thank you Carl, I'll try it.
over priced… 8000 cnd dollars. yeah no
Definitely expensive yeah.
Wouldn't A1 Evo give you this and more in 10 minutes? Or are you suspicious of the Audyssey mic accuracy?
It's possible, but I'd be shocked if it got it correct right down to the level I'm doing here. But I think it may be worth trying soon.
@@hdmoviesourcesurprised you haven’t given it a shot. Would love to hear your thoughts on it and measurements before and after.
Enjoyed your review But found the background music a little distracting
Okay, noted.
If you right click on the channel info on the left side panel. It gives you the timing information in milliseconds, meters and feet. This takes away much of the guessing
Having done the back and forth with MEQ-X I can tell this method is far less annoying and frustrating. I've actually been considering switching to Dirac Live Bass Control on my 6800H now that they reduced the price, but I'm not 100% convinced it will be much better than MEQ-X / MiniDSP. It would be a bummer to spend $600 and wind up preferring Audyssey! Lol
This is exactly my predicament Cafive, I guess the only way to know if the buy unfortunately. Sometime this year I think I'll give it a shot.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Chris, I really appreciate it.
@@hdmoviesource Thank you. I’ve followed a couple of your subwoofer calibrations and applied them to my pair of HSU VTF-TN1 and oh my they really woke up
LOL what are you playing with VLC?
Yeah, VLC.
This is a near-field atmos mixing room layout for all intensive purposes. We will all need EMT ribbon tweeter modular arrays in the future. Traditional speaker design will be obsolete in a decade for home theater in 20 + x 15 + foot rooms with 5 + seats and 100" screens.
I think so too.
Think ile be getting one very soon 😊
Good choice!
Hello, I really liked your video, it is very interesting. I have a Samsung OLED TV, a high-end Samsung sound bar and the Panasonic Ub820 player. I wanted to ask you what is the best way to connect them. The sound bar has three HDMI ports: HDMI (aERC), HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 The Panasonic player has two HDMI ports: hdmi (video) and hdmi (audio out) Option 1: TV and sound bar connected by hdmi cable on hdmi ports (aERC) and the Panasonic player connected by hdmi cable to the TV Option 2: TV and sound bar connected by hdmi cable on hdmi ports (aERC) and the Panasonic player connected by hdmi cable to the sound bar, hdmi 1 Option 3: TV and sound bar connected by hdmi cable, in hdmi ports (aERC) and the Panasonic player connected by hdmi cable to the TV from hdmi (video) and another hdmi cable from hdmi (audio out) to the sound bar Thank you very much and greetings
I like option 3. Separate HDMI to the soundbar. I prefer this method because sometimes audio return can't return DTS properly.
@@hdmoviesource thank you very much, I'll do it that way
Thanks.
Sir thanks for sharing the review in technical way. Just to confirm with you the microphone and the device connected the microphone are support hi-Res?
Hey Richard, I'm using a UMIK-2 and everything is set to 24-bit 48khz.
This video is incredible. Thank you so much for making the effort and sharing your knowledge. I have a problem and wonder if you could help me? I perform the calibration on my two subs and I get a nice flat response. My problem is that when I then try to do a Dirac live calibration the subs are way too low (during the volume setting procedure)even though they are calibrated to 75db? It’s probably a Dirac issue but I’m scratching my head thinking what’s going on? All the best
Hi again. Bit of an update on my query. Apparently there is a long running issue with Dirac live and the umik 1 on Macs! I went on the Mini dsp forum and it hasn’t worked properly for 8 months. Dirac have finally acknowledged there is a problem. Wowsers, I’m stunned I’d not heard about this. They actually advertise each others products stating they are recommended devices! The work around is to download much older versions of Dirac. Not good enough. Can even smell a class action. People have spent lots of money on these premium products. Cheers Cheers
Can you disable or ignore the sub calibration from Dirac?
Interesting, thanks Jim.
@@hdmoviesource Hiya, Yes you can drag “curtains” over areas that you don’t want Dirac to touch. There’s a curtain for low and high frequencies. I only have the version of Dirac that can adjust frequencies up to 500hz. I do hope I can use the latest and potentially best, version of Dirac. It’s a shame and a head scratcher as Dirac does really improve on soundstage, focus etc. Many thanks again for your videos, I honestly didn’t have much of an idea on REW and the mini dsp but by watching you and making mistakes I’ve got to a position where it makes sense and most importantly my bass has never sounded so good. Cheers
Good to know Jim, thanks. Yeah, you just gotta get in there, make mistake and learn, and one day it will all make sense, LOL. Hopefully, lol.
what velvet curtain's are those? any link or manufacturer name?
We had them custom installed, so I really don't know Sammy.

every1 says A95L is better than g4 anyway!!! best of the best they say. but u arent so high class and needing to keep review press status
I've seen some reviews on it and it looks like a great TV.
I appreciate your thoughts on the Trinnov and your experience at the event. Having owned an Alt 16 for about two years now, I can't really argue that it should replace or blow away any competent Denon or Onkyo. Having owned previous processors like Arcam, Emotiva, Monoprice, and the current Anthem AVM70, there are appreciable improvements in the Alt16, but not night and day. My main selling point was this: to get off the upgrade carousel. I found myself getting a new pre-pro every 2-3 years, and was starting to find that cumbersome. New models seem to elicit enough FOMO in most enthusiasts and I see other hobbyists replacing their units at the same frequency. Having access to these upgrades: new codecs, waveforming, improved bass management come with no additional cost. Other companies, you will have to ditch your old unit, and purchase a new one. The only other main selling point is if you need the channels. You won't find many on the market that will decode to 32+ channels. And it's needed if you're going that semi-commercial theatre setup. It's really having the right tool for the job. Sometimes all you need is a screwdriver, other times it's required to have the power drill.
Interesting, thanks for your reply.
