Hello all,
Given this success with ative SBL's, I am now thinking about another possibility. I also have a pair of Naim DBL's, which are much larger, 3-way, full-range speakers.
Naim makes an electronic crossover for them called the SNAXO 3-6, and the manual mentions the following specs:
- input impedance: 13KOhms
- crossover frequencies: 300Hz, 3rd order and 3kHz, 3rd order
If I were to get hold of a 3rd D200, would it suffice for me to give Devialet those specs for them to provide me with adequate configuration files? If I undertand correctly, they would be able to produce config files for my three D200's with the crossover frequencies shown above. But what about fine-tunin the output level for the tweeters and the mids? This requires quite a bit of listening with different values. One way, I think, could be to manually edit the config files. I can see for example that the files generated by the configurator for the D200 feeding the tweeters in my active SBL setup contain the following statements:
"_adh_l_max_volume":-7,
"_adh_r_max_volume":-7,
which no doubt corresponds to the -7db I set as output level for my tweeters. Obviously I could manually change this particular value for, say, -6db instead of generating a whole new file with the configurator.
What do you think?
Many thanks,
Pierre
