Hello all,
To introduce a bit; I have build a HTPC with AMD E350 in a Luxa2 LM300 Pro enclosure. Looks nice but 2 mistakes; first AMD E350 and the LM300. Why? AMD E350 is to slow and LM300 buttons are good but you don't want to use them as you want to have the best audio (ASIO). So next time I would go for a cheaper enclosure and spend the money on a Intel i3 or better.
Second build was 2* 3-way Speakers. These are without crossover connected to >
Third build a 6ch "Gainclone" Amplifier with 4x a LM4780. 2x Parallel for LOW and 2x Stereo for MID and HIGH
For this setup a ASUS XONAR D2X was added into the HTPC. And of coarse I am using MC (17.0.186).
So now to the question. I am using Parametric Equalizer (PEQ) to make the crossover, works perfect, and sounds more than perfect. Only thing is that I do not know what is happening in MC. Example, if I use 12 dB for LOW/MID/HIGH, do I need to reverse polarity on the MID? I have done it and measurement say yes. I might want to set a Low Pass Filter (6dB) on the LOW in PEQ not possible (to my knowledge). Yes I can do it but then I have to go into Room Correction. But how is MC handling it see my settings attached.
Will PEQ be handled first and then Room Correction?
Another item is the measurement, I am using today REW with a second PC. What will happen if I plug in REW? The new version is ASIO compatible. What will happen if I play a Sweep? Will it go through PEQ first? I hope so, if not I will "smoke" my tweeters.
Then if I do basic settings Audio/output mode setting/Asio settings > for channel swap and buffering, will this be applied? And if yes, before or after DSP/PEQ?
Related to this, why is MC swapping the C/LFE with SR/SL and reverse? No problem if you know but took me some time to find out. If you select the "swap" ow will this be applied?
So in general I miss a WiKi about this, any help will be welcomed.
