miniDSP

miniDSP supplies digital signal-processing hardware. Its equipment can help tune a playback system to the acoustic behaviour of a particular room.

Design & approach

miniDSP develops digital signal processors and measurement-related tools for audio systems. Its range allows different combinations of routing, filtering and multi-channel operation. In a small listening room, the value of such processing depends on measured adjustment and integration; the presence of a processor alone does not establish that a room has been acoustically corrected.

Room tuning: Digital processing used to tame troublesome room frequencies

Inside the system

Two Technics 1200-series decks feed an ARS MODEL9900 rotary mixer. The main speakers are sealed GR-Research X-CS Encores, each using two M-165 woofers around a central tweeter. The design is rated at 90 dB sensitivity with a nominal 8 Ω impedance. A Sansui BA-2000 provides amplification, with Threshold 400A and S/150 amplifiers also in the collection and rotation. One KEF KC62 and two KC92 subwoofers support the sealed mains, while miniDSP processing addresses troublesome room frequencies. A kick-sub position sits behind the bar, although its model assignment is unspecified. With several bass sources in a compact room, their placement, level and timing are central to integration with the main speakers.
