Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)

[dabeechman]

I applaud all of us for being as patient as we have been. Unfortunately I am going to have to back out of this. The headache and the uncertainty of what we are receiving just isn't worth the hassle unfortunately.

I wish all of you the best. Sandy, I'll contact you about a refund.

Thanks again for your help Sandy, I know this was no fault of your own.

this weeks excuse will be
we lost power in the building so there is another delay...

[kwalsh24]

either that or another hardware tweak excuse to delay the first batch another 2 weeks

I wonder what will come first, 100 pages on the thread or the DNS-800(s). Although it seems like I'm a bit more patient than others...

Nope, what I mean is the setting that's usually just off/low/med/high for hi-pass filter when running a sub. In layman's terms: It skips the bass from playing on the speakers and uses the sub predominantly for lows

I think what you're getting at is actually a low pass filter anyway (as it's name suggests it allows low frequencies to pass through and nothing else. A high pass filter allows high frequencies through and nothing else - what you would use for tweeters. A band pass filter allows a specific band or range of frequencies through, and nothing higher or lower - what you might use for a mid range woofer)

The head unit will have an EQ so you can filter out the lower end to the speakers.

But the pre-amp is exactly that. It's not filtered or amplified in any way. That is all done by your external amplifier.

No need for the laymans terms, I'm an electrical engineer

I find this function on any aftermarket head unit you get at jb hifi. It stops the bass coming out the speakers (running off the head unit) while still sending bass to the sub (running off the amp).

Isn't that what a crossover does/should done by the amp/sub? Dunno, not sure if car subs work that way.

Nope. The idea is to remove bass from the speakers (which are running from the Dns/head unit) so that they can focus on playing better highs/mids. The sub and amp play the lows. This has to be done inside the head unit.

Ah, fair enough. I was just going off what i've seen from HT systems, where powered subs usually have a crossover switch, and you can also fiddle with it on the Amp side as well. I'm not a speakers guy anyways, more headphones/iems etc :p

Sandy,

Any chance of getting an update on the "early" batch. It's getting way beyond a joke now.
