AUDIOCONTROL anybody herd of them?

bass restoration device...so it restores bass that was lost from the deck to the sub? So bass that wasn't there is now boosted up to bring it to listening level? Subharmonic, so wouldn't this piece be dedicated to say a specific frequency response? so what would you call an "audiopath enhancer"?

Maybe I have a broad spectrum of what a line driver is... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ps patents are great for protecting your design...doesn't mean companies can't make a different design that do the exact same thing. I have a home audio piece of gear that states "subharmonic bass restoration" on the cover that is from '82.

HA HA HA HAAAAAA Mortal Fools........ MY E-PEEN, IS BIGGER THAN ALL OF YOURS COMBIND!!!!! HA HA HA HAAAAAA......

A patented process digitally maximizes the ultra-low bass on all types of source material. The Epicenter detects bass harmonics, then digitally recreates the underlying fundamental for the incredible punch and impact of live music. Simply, you get More Bass, LOUDER.

Long story short..... Line drivers boost voltage. They don't alter sound

LMAO!!! wouldn't boosting the voltage alter sound?

 

[chubby 10+ year member]

no. no it wouldnt

dumbass

 

[deaf tones 10+ year member]

hmmm...so if you set the volume and gains and not touch them what so ever...then introduce a device that boosts the signal...the volume wouldn't change what so ever nor increase? What about that boost at say 45hz...wouldn't that alter the sound at 45hz?

So basically they are worthless and don't do a thing is what you're saying?

I dunno buddy but um...yeah, my "audiopath enhancer" modified with burr brown seems to alter the sound a great deal...especially bumping the top end frequency response from about 50k to 250khz.

And all it is is a line driver.

 

[chubby 10+ year member]

sound does not equal volume

the only ""sound"" alteration introduced by a linedriver would be the reduction of signal distortion, provided it is installed correctly.

 

[deaf tones 10+ year member]

soooooooooooo are you saying you contradicted yourself?

So say you have a song that thumps at 33hz and turn the "audiopath enhancer's" 45hz knob up...that 33hz note wouldn't hit a little differently toward the higher end?

I thought they didn't alter sound?

uhm, power/ground/remote...rca in and rca out...unless the person installing it doesn't know jack how can it be hooked up incorrectly? If it isn't hooked up right it wouldn't even work, right? How can different installations change the signal?

Man, I don't know if we are using a different definition of 'alter' here or what...but introducing ANYTHING in between the source and the destination will eventually alter it in some way.

 

[chubby 10+ year member]

running RCAs by 0 gauge power wire up to the line driver can be a ***** for your front stage.

ITS NOT A LINE DRIVER. HOOK UP IT UP TO YOUR FREAKING FRONT STAGE, AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

its totally dynamic, unlike a line driver, and it processes/filters different frequencies.

 

[deaf tones 10+ year member]

dood i don't get what you're trying to say? Run 0ga speaker wire to my line driver? Uh..it doesn't have that ability to run speaker wire?

**edit** you changed "buy" to "by"....still stands, what are you trying to say?

 

[deaf tones 10+ year member]

man this is pathetic...this went way off the topic here over different understandings and usage of the same words here.

why aren't you at least answering any of the previous questions.

ps..before running off on a tangent, do a little reading and real world experiments so you don't look like a dumbass while saying someone else is one.

oh yeah, my front stage uhhh...10" midbass that can go down to 25hz wouldn't really be a fair test. And yes, I have an epicenter and have used it, I know exactly what it does...and it doesn't do it nearly as well as my "audiopath enhancer" which is just a LINE DRIVER.

Call it what you will...name it what ever you want...

 

[chubby 10+ year member]

running RCAs beside thick power cable ie 0 gauge, introduces alot of interference, espicieally if they arent insulated well. which is an example of a poor install of a line driver, because you asked.

once again, i reiterate, the epicenter is totally dynamic, a line driver is not.

 

[deaf tones 10+ year member]

if you can find rca's that will take in 0ga wire and the person dumb enough to do it i'll applaud you. Yes, stating it that way, you are right...that would be a way to install it incorrectly...but it will still work.

dynamic - Of or relating to variation of intensity, as in musical sound (dictionary.com). So more intense at the 'subsonic' level...not TOTALLY dynamic, just dynamic at the 5-60hz zone. That is exactly what my gear does, variates the intensity in musical sound...but does it at ALL frequencies from 5hz to 250khz, that is TOTALLY dynamic by the definition of the word...and it is a line driver but given the fancy term "audiopath enhancer"

 

[chubby 10+ year member]

by- i meant beside. EDIT

correct, you have your facts close enough to correct, and it is a sound processor because of what you just said. Granted you know what it is, and your argument is totally viable as it is in some fashions altering the voltages etc, but it is also, and primarly a sound processor, and designed for that. Part of that design entails that it shares similar characteritics to a line driver, that does not MEAN it IS a line driver.

eh, i think we both know what each other mean anyways.

I say smashed tomatoes, ac (and other companies) say spaghetti sauce //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. They both do the job, granted a little differently, and some have extra goodies here and there.

We both know exactly what we mean...that's fair

cool chat man.
