Nick,
Thanks, but I am not at AXPONA 2024.

Danville Signal in room 356 has the Magnepan 1.7i's that I helped with the DSP crossover design for tri-amping them with the dspNexus 2x8 system. 

They built the AB switching box for the demo.  All the amps are the same as well as the front end uses all 8 channels of the dspNexus 2x8.  Two channels are just direct DAC connections to the amps driving the original passive crossovers and the other 6 DAC's are the 3-way DSP crossover to the amps.

Feedback so far is that the demo is showing the listeners how not subtle the difference the DSP crossover can make when it is really at the state of the art.  :)

Rich,

I don't keep up with the shows that much. Will you be attending any other events for the rest of the year?

Nick

Nick,
If I can get a larger room for CAF2024 in Nov that is possible.  I am working with the show owner now to see if one is available.

This will not be a comparison demo like the Magnepan 1.7i's at AXPONA.  I will bring the AGN II Line Array's with two 6x12in OB servo subs.  I want to demo the dspNexus 2x8 system with the AK4499EX DAC's in a larger speaker system. 

Rich

Rich

Thx, Rich

Response from Cynthia, The Audio Belle on YouTube to the AB comparison was it was a night and day difference, she could not believe the difference between the original passive crossover and the DSP crossover versions. 

Works for me! :)

Snooks Eaglin - guitar, vocals

One of many Snooks + Eddie Bo performances around this time, this is a nice recording after the first 20 seconds or so.  The tape was a little bass heavy, which has been corrected.  The last track cuts; we don't know how much longer the show went on.  The last four songs are Tommy Ridgley's. 

Enjoy!
