I know @henryrobinett has a pair of active Xitones. He was switching through via some notes on the different settings when we were comparing FRFR cabs a couple months ago. Hopefully he'll chime in.So no one here already knows what the 5 DSP options are?
I did email him, twice...... no reply after a couple of days. And absolutely no mention of this DSP button on their web site.
...and mick's website is badly in need of renovation...but he is usually very accessible..
I have a couple CLR's and the mbritt Xitone open back. Love them all. I use CLR's at home practicing and setting up patches mostly. The Xitone open back is great at gigs and obviously very versatile. It fills the room nicely. I've stacked them before too (one CLR on top the Xitone) -that was great.
The 5 modes on the Xitone I have are (direct from Mic):
1) FRFR
2) FRFR with 2db dip at 500hz
3) FRFR with 2db dip at 500hz and a 2db bump at 900hz
4) FRFR 12" only
5) 12" raw
That corresponds to the flashing led too.
DigiSage... can you please send me the email address you used to send me a note via a private message... I just went back over 2 weeks in my mail and didn't see anything that I didn't respond to... but I'm also 50 so I may have missed it. I checked the spam folder and it's not there either...
Thanks so much! In which different situations would those options be useful? When might you use 2 or 3 or 4 or 5?
Great info, thanks! Is one mode particularly well suited for low volume?
It doesn't really work that way.
Since the way humans perceive sound changes in relation to sound pressure level, then it depends on how you program your presets as to what happens when the sound pressure level is increased or decreased.
Presets usually sound best at the sound pressure level used when they are created (or the sound pressure level they were programmed for... experienced preset creators can use lower sound pressure levels to create presets that will sound as intended at higher sound pressure levels).
So its the preset not the speaker mode that matters for changing sound pressure levels.
Speaker modes would be more about room corrections or compensating for where the speaker is placed in a room.
I've read several references to the idea that some of the DSP modes are specifically for "combatting Fletcher-Munson" and making tones that were designed for high pressure levels to sound good at lower pressure levels. This is what my question is ultimately about. Is what I read true? Some of the modes are aimed at that?
Do you mean "Tweak B/M/T," or actually change the tone stack?Change the tone stack until it sounds good.
