TonyD'Amore Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Picture of 3 "measuring tapes" to illustrate why dB is used. This also may shed some light on why it is so hard to go from a 150dB to a 160dB in sound pressure for the newbies. http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i42/nismotony/engineering/img062.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassahaulic Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 This is so badass. I can't wait till its released. Once it is ill order both a DD-1 and a CC-1 at the same time. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyD'Amore Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 it works like this. You have a frequency dial on the side of the amp. It might have numbers and dots. 30 then a dot, then a 50, then a dot, then 65, then a dot......and then 125 and another dot. You want your frequency to be set to 85hz on your bass amp. Well good luck with that. If you are like me, you put it where you THINK 85 is. Until now. With this, you put the disc in. You play the 85hz track. You turn up the volume on the deck till you see the signal light illuminate...then turn the dial on the amp till the CC-1 shows you are calibrated. Done. Now you are set EXACTLY where you want to be. While it may not be a life and death situation, its still nice to know exactly where you are at. Now if i have MULTIPLE bass amps, it would, IMO be MUCH more critical to get the frequency settings matched up exactly. That goes double if you have two amps on one woofer or a bunch of subs in one chamber. I dont know about you but i want all my amps playing the EXACT same signal, not just "close". Close only counts in hand-grenades and horseshoes. Which brings me to the next AWESOME feature of this unit. You hit a few buttons and the LED's start flashing like the Vegas Strip, indicating you are in "gain matching mode". This is for people with multiple subwoofer amplifiers, like me (8 amps, 4 subs) From here, you find your reference amp. The one putting out the most power with least distortion (use an SMD-DD-1 to determine that). Then you probe that amp, lock in the settings and move to the next amp. Turn up the gains on the next amp until it lights up the CC-1, indicating it MATCHES the first reference amp. Keep doing that until you are done with your last amp and then you are good to go, fully in sync! You can do that with a DMM, but This thing isnt just measuring voltage, it is measuring DB off of the output signal. Tony can explain exactly why we did it that way, and i hope he jumps in soon because he (as well as Juan) are the main-brains behind the operation as you can imagine :D This is just another item in a long list of devices we are trying to come out with in the coming years. thanks for tuning in to this post and showing interest!! that is what motivates us to keep doing this and we are VERY excited about the future! :popcorn: I thought your RF's did this already? Or am I thinking of something else? Isn't it fairly easy to gain match amps? And why would you have to worry about the xovers on the other amps that are your slaves? If you do a "master/slave" setup, don't the slave follow the master amp? Just curious, and maybe it would help others too... I know the guy that designed that system on those Rockford amps you speak of. It's pretty sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jville140db Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Awesome info Tony and Steve. I figured that's what it was gonna do when I first read about it. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Any idea on a street date yet and maybe pricing. Btw Tony I find it funny that when I pulled the cover off my 4 chan and Mono to check out the guts on them your avatar was stamped on the board along with others and I was like well I guess I know who to thank for these now too. I wish I knew who the other avatars belong to though.

Bacy2k Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Got multiple bass amps? Need to gain match? How about calibrating your crossover setting on the amp? Here is 2 more ninja pics. We have working models so you know some video's are coming soon. Give me a few days, maybe i can have a demonstration video up by this weekend for now - the DD1 has a brother, the CC-1 and this thing is SICK, wait till i show you how it works . im still waiting Quote Alpine CDA-9886Hertz Mille 3 ways active Hertz SPL Show 8's 2 Audison Voce Quattro's2 DC Audio M2 Level 5 12'sDC Audio 12.0KKnuKonceptz Wiring4 XS Power D3100'sDC Power 390XPSecond Skin Damplifier Pro and Dynamat Xtreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
