Yamaha NS1000M - Tweaks

[drSM]

Hi guys u see from my gear that i use some old sansui integrateds
95 % of the time i have the au111 'flat' with tone defeat ON v occasionally on quiet listening i may turn on 'Prescence ' which bòosts bass a bit
Very occasionally i might use filters to compensate fir crappy vinyl cd etc
Not a purist
I like that flexibility

If i were to go active w the ns1000 using the minidsp mentioned can i 'fiddle ' ?
Could i set presets for a bit of bass boost etc
Thanks for indulging me exploring this which is entirely new to me

I had a pair of Ncores here for a while. They sound great on the bass, but bring a somewhat steely edge to the mids and treble that sounds a touch synthetic. Not the best match with the Ns1000m

Have my eye on one of these for my new Open Baffle project, this should have all the flexibility you want-

In any case, if you are running actively nd want a little more bass, just turn up the amp driving the woofers a little.

Two Eminence Alpha 15", a Crystal D500 midrange horn and an Isophon DKT tweeter per side Grant. I was also looking at that unit as it gives me the option to go balanced.

Interesting Simon, I would suspect from this that you are running your Yammies with the stock passive crossover.

One of the things I have found with my active set up is it has a warmer richer mid section and highs compared to the original.
If what you say is a trait of all the Hypex variants it might balance itself out, we will have to see, but thanks for the heads up.

Based on my experiences the hypex UcD (class D) modules and many similar ones are good for bass only as with the Be-drivers for the mids and treble the modules bit clinical and harsh sound become too obvious. Personally couldn't handle that sonic signature at all..

Mika - What was your set up using UcD, was it 180/400/700 and which variant ST or HG, did you use the HxR regulators also?

Getting a bit concerned now.
