We plan to go ahead and purchase popular models like the Benchmark, Ayre etc. I will ship you one of these mic preamps for the Fantasia S calibration session. We will take a cautious attitude about them and build up a database as we encounter various models on the market. I already tested 3 models over the weekend without issues. Now we should be in business for USB DACs.
#FUZZMEASURE REVIEW PORTABLE#
It's a portable bus-powered design and can accept any standard measurement microphone. This device allows us to sidestep one of the routing issue for data acquisition with consumer audio converters. Therein lies today's tale.Ĭlayton hinted at one of the original challenges for this expansion: "I just received the first and only measurement-grade USB microphone preamp. As long as speakers didn't require active bi-amping, Spatial wanted to become scaleable to their needs without multi-channel studio processors. Additionally not everyone will be willing to part with their present two-channel hifi preamp should that be a truly superior unit which they're deeply invested into.
Obviously room/speaker correction-directly on the digital musicįiles prior to D/A conversion-is important also to owners of non Emerald Physics speakers who run with PCs and USB converters rather than Macs and Firewire DACs. Spatial's present hardware option menu includes units from TC Konnekt, Apogee and Prism. Final sound quality would be linked to the DAC/processor of the client's choosing.
This would convert an affordable computer front-end into a state-of-the-art music machine. The idea was to run a MacMini, MacBook or iMac on iTunes whilst very comprehensive digital correction would take place invisibly in the background. On the hardware side this means multi-channel converters up to 8 channels which include a microphone preamp to facilitate data acquisition of how the speaker interfaces with your room.įocusing by necessity on pro-arena multi-channel units like the above top-class Prism Orpheus where Firewire rather than USB has been the standard to connect with recording studio computer work stations, Spatial's ground work has revolved around Apple computers for their native iTunes platform and Firewire ports.

Because those speakers require bi-amping with digital filtering and gain matching, Spatial's core feature set includes signal routing for active bi/tri amplification plus one or two subwoofers.

Spatial was originally created to upgrade the Behringer digital crossover/processor as intrinsic part of Clayton's Emerald Physics open-baffle loudspeakers.

It also includes maintenance to upload/reconfigure new software as it becomes available.

It includes a measurement microphone, USB microphone preamp, USB DAC and a full suite of near/farfield measurements taken on your speakers in your room to create customized speaker/room correction via remote access session/s to your music computer. Proceed at own risk!Ĭlayton Shaw's $2.995 Spatial software package is an amalgamation of Pure Music's core platform in a custom OEM version various 3 rd-party software like FuzzMeasure for test-tone generation and processing plug-ins like FabFilter Pro-Q for digital equalization specific for each channel and proprietary routing code.
