I’ve got some B&W DM5 (I think) speakers in the dining room. Their 2nd ever model.
They cost me a whopping £4 at a car boot sale about 20 years ago!

A mate was a sales rep there for ages until a couple of years ago. They got bought out by an American firm and sacked the global sales staff to cut costs.

“would you buy a used car from these men?”

Anyone have experience with room eq solutions Do you all use something like a minidsp, Arc Studio standalone or something like a Dbx driverack? I’m wondering how is the latency from the processing and if it messes with your monitoring and mixing? I’m leaning towards a standalone ARC Studio as I’ve got some new beefy eve audio sc4070s and the bass is overwhelming so have some frequency peaks to tame.

You could get started with REW and a microphone. I’d be less worried about latency and more aware of multiple stacks of analogue to digital and back again with loss from each.

These auto eq solutions work really well in home cinema applications in a fully digital system. Outside of that I’d get REW on the case and see if you confirm your intial findings and perhaps experiment from there before eq.

Nothing new, just a nice pic I took the other day.

I use a very cheap and old school EQ/room correction. A Yamaha YPD2006 and REW (like Ddiscof mentioned). No latency issues, very cheap and minimally intrusive/very effective PEQs.

I use driverack for my PA and it also works well, despite the fact that I (intentionally) delay the tops to align with the subs.

If you’re looking for the most “analogue” or natural, I can recommend something like a used YPD2006.

I used REW and have a minidsp. Have two speaker and a sub and for a while had the REW EQs applied to both although have taken it off the speakers as it was clearly reducing sound quality, still on the sub and seems to work well. The cross over stays on though and makes a big difference.

is this a custom shelving unit or where is it from?

A guy here in Brazil makes them. They are preset sizes. I bought the bigger one first, then the two surrounding “towers” on each side, which is why they don’t exactly line up. I actually need to get a couple more as I already have records that don’t fit, and I hope to have more after my trip to Japan at the end of the year.

Traxsource as I got today

Temporary setup for some home sessions last week. There’s a sub under the table. Decks usually live on the bench behind.

Hiya, I am in dire need of a sound storage/vinyl setup for my new flat. My ex has kept our custom built record stand so I am starting anew.

It will house 2 x 1210s, 1 x Omnitronic mixer, 1 x amp (yet to be purchased).

Anyone got any budget recommendations?! TIA

Not really my thing but just love the fact he/she says ‘I’m not spending money on a fancy website’ on their website and their factory looks like a German sex club relocated to Deliverance.
