MiniDSP 2x4 HD, a USB DAC and DSP in a low cost package powered by a powerful Sharc 400MHz floating point DSP

Product Information

The miniDSP SHD includes not only Dirac Live ® but also a full set of crossover functions on its four output channels. One use of this is as a flexible tool for integrating subwoofers into your system along with Dirac Live. This app note shows you how.

Among its own category which is a mix of DSP and AV receivers and processors it sets a new high bar:No, its much more than a dac - its a dsp two-way digital crossover as well, and you can aparently use USB digital input from a computer as sound source . This unit uses a XMOS at the USB input. The future for highend performance at normal prices looks good. It is safe to say that the miniDSP UMIK-1 omni-directional USB microphone has become the non-plus-ultra for affordable yet highly accurate acoustic measurement. The USB-calibrated UMIK-1 provides low noise while being easy to use. Thanks to the USB interface and the unique calibration files provided with it, you will be ready to conduct your first measurement and make recordings within a few easy steps. The miniDSP Flex will find a myriad uses in applications ranging from a compact digital stereo preamp through subwoofer integration and optimization to active speakers, home theater and recording studios. You just need to let your creativity do the rest! Hardware Features Powered by miniDSP's new Device Console for Over The Air upgrades, Live Real Time control of DSP settings

NOTE: The UMIK-1/2 are measurement microphones approved by Dirac Research. Knowing the major effect a wrong calibration/measurement would have on the final results of Dirac Live tuning, we strongly recommend that you select a UMIK-1/2 microphone together with your platform for a plug&play experience leading to best results. Any issues related to 3rd party microphones such as ASIO/USB audio driver incompatibility/Latency problems or incorrect calibration process will not be under our support structure by our support team. Understanding LDAC™ Wireless audio USA: Madisound Speaker Components is a reference supplier for drivers, loudspeaker kits and a reliable partner of Linkwitz Lab. In this app note, we will demonstrate subwoofer integration for miniDSP'sstereoDirac Live processors using only the Dirac Live app for measurementREW: miniDSP worked along with John Mulcahy to develop even greater compatibility for the UMIK-1 inside REW! With the latest beta release of REW (v5.01 and up), the UMIK-1 is automatically recognized by the software and prompted for use when REW is started with the microphone plugged in.
