  1. dd-1 problems

    in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics

    Posted

    did you have sub level on +15 when trying 40hz? it was on "0"

    did you have it switched to sub preout, not rear? im pretty sure it was sub but i cant be 100% sure...i was trying to read the headunit so why should that matter tho??

    if it was on rear did you have the HPF on?

    smd dd-1 goes from 1.2v to 125v

    you need .75v to get signal light to turn on

    so i went to go use the dd-1 on a friends hu and it didnt work...it would read a signal sometimes but never would read a 40hz or 1khz signal...tried it with every track...amp is a apsm-1000 and headunit is a alpine cde-102...had everything flat on headunit and frequency on amp all the way up...had probe in the speaker positive and neg gator clip on the bolt the amp was grounded too...also tried grounding it directly to the amp...never got a 40hz or 1khz detect regardless...anyone one else have any problems??...im almost positive its something i did, i just cant figure out what it could be though

    i put a brand new battery in so i kno thats not the problem too

  5. a couple DD-1 questions

    in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics

    i jus got the DD-1 and i gotta few questions

    1) since i NEVER listen to cd's, i wanna burn the cd to my ipod, correct? thats fine, use lossless if you can

    2) what eq setting should i have my ipod on??...should the volume on my ipod be all the way up?? flat, volume should be 1 click down from max

    3) why am i to use a -0dB track to check the headunit but when i actually set my gains, i get the choice of -5, -10, or -15??...why wouldnt i use the same track i choose for my gain setting for my headunit?? You check max undistorted headunit volume with 0db, to set gain you use a quieter track because its closer to the loudness of music. 0db is the loudest a track can be, so -5db to -10db is a good average for music.

    4) i saw this somewhere but i cant find it...do i set everything up with or without speaker wires hooked up??...i saw it did make a difference, i think i turn the HPF on headunit as high as i can set it so my stock speakers can handle the 40hz note, if you have the option, disconnect all speakers so all thats connected are RCAs and the DD-1 probes.

    5) on Pioneer decks, there is a loudness setting...where do i set that? always leave that off

    you want to be using the bottom USB ipod connection, the headphone jack will not produce good quality music because the Ipods DAC blows monkey balls. When you connect using USB it bypasses the Ipods DAC and uses the headunits

    what does the loudness setting do??...and do i go "flat" or "off" for the ipod eq??...i have both options
