MiniDSP and rear fill

[edouble101 314]

I posted this on another forum and I would like to hear the thoughts from the gurus on here as well

 

 

 

 

I have been ready through pages and pages of threads on adding rear fill to help maximize the front stage. After understanding how rear fill is used for this application many folks (including myself) have been thinking how to acquire the necessary L-R. 

 

On a side not L-R seems to be the most common method although there appears to be other methods for generating a rear fill signal which require a fancy processor.

 

The MiniDSP 2x4 has a plug-in Rear/Center Channel. This plug-in gives you the generated L-R signal, xover, 31 band eq, and up to 27ms of delay. You can also easily reverse phase on one of the output channels which seems to be common practice for rear fill.

 

You will need one MiniDSP 2x4 to run this plug-in. Unfortunately you can not run multiple plug-ins on a single unit. I wish we could run multiple plug-ins on one MiniDSP. It would be nice to use a 2x8 for your entire system with two output channels for the rear fill plug-in and the other channels with a 3 or 4 way plug-in.

 

 

 

Please comment with your thoughts on this!

I don't see a question.

 

Are you asking about how to implement rear fill or our thoughts on being able to use multiple plug-ins on a single mini-DSP unit ?  Or ways to generate a L-R signal ?

No question. Just posting for anybody interested.

Gotcha. 

 

I didn't realize you couldn't use multiple plug-ins on the mini-DSP.  Would be a shit ton more flexible if you could.
