XO using MOTU 828mk3 hybrid

[DjSinae]

I wonder if something like
LiquidSonics - Filtrate | Linear Phase Paragraphic EQ for VST, RTAS and AU

would be a good way to go.. since it's FIR running on CUDA (nvidia video cards)

latency should be lower

the goal is less latency possible for me..
it could stay on the same computer... (no need for another to process the digital signal)

[pschelbert]

not there is no way to have less latency. A certain FIR filter length has always a certain number of tabs. This defines the delay. Its just mathematics. No hardware can turn the time back. The Hardware therefore does not play a role (just medicre differences) in delay.

The easiest to deal with delay, if you delay all other singals as well. Then you do not notice the delay. There is actually no other solution.
To minimize delay use IIR filters not very steep ones.

hi,

i got the motu 828mk2, i was wondering which TRS to use? stereo or mono for balanced interconnect to the amps?

im excited to try them out.

cheers

Hi

the TRS out on the back are all balanced. Now if you connect a mono TRS you will get unbalanced, right to connect to cinch

If you use balanced TRS connectors, the they are balanced, go for example to XR inputs of amp.

The only stereo TRS are in front (Main, headphone), they are unbalanced ans stereo (one TRS Stereo for Left and right)

If you have the choice go balanced.

hi peter,

can u point me out to balanced TRS connectors? or is it the Stereo TRS like neutrik Np3x?

thanks
henry

here for example a cable.
pro snake 17582/3,0 SW Audio Cable - Thomann UK Cyberstore

Thomann has a whole bunch of cables (I could not find pinouts though, may be they are somewhere).
I have almost all my cables from Thomann, it just works, choose the right connectors on both ends (be careful also male, female must be correct).

in the manual of my RME Fireface UFX on page 97 (english version) you see the wiring of TRS balanced and XLR.

They are standardized, you should find it also on the net

hi peter,

thanks for the link. unfortunately uk is far from my place. but i get the idea of the balanced TRS.

cheers

Hmm, coulda sworn I implemented one a while back. I suspect it's not compatible with the OP's needs, however.

[pschelbert]

the uk-link is just to see an implementation. Look for such a cable nearby.

hi peter,

today i want to test the motu 828mk2 with mac osx using puremusic itunes.

i bought mono 1/4" to rca cable, as my amp is unbalanced.
i connect to the output 1-2, but got no sound.

can u help me / show me, how u use the motu for playback?

cheers
henry
