Introducing OpenDRC, Open Digital Room Correction engine

minidsp · 03:44 AM

Best Wishes for 2012 from the miniDSP team! Hoping you all had a great new year's eve wherever you are!
What a better way to start the new year than bringing up to our community a new platform? :-) Here is a project we've been working on for the past few months... Following few weeks of testing with our partners, it's now ready for your eyes..

Introducing the OpenDRC-DI, a stereo Open Digital Room Correction platform that takes any FIR filter configuration. Think of it as a convolution engine that doesn't require a PC, a linear phase crossover box with all digital inputs (DI version) with AES-EBU/SPDIF/Toslink in/out. Controllable with our well proven USB technology from Mac/Win platforms, this lunchbox size DSP packs up a LOT of DSP power in a small aluminum box...
Check out the product page here!

@299USD only, the OpenDRC platforms will hopefully open a new trend, a new wave of exciting speaker processed products and custom applications for our community!

Stay tuned for further info,

DevTeam

Late Christmas gift is indeed a good idea. You get it when all the sales are on! :-)

Sorry, I am still not used to "2012", haha.

will you do a non-boxed version with I2S ?!

Hi,
I was a bit surprised to see that this box only offers stereo output. Yet the word "crossover" is mentioned several times on the product page. I guess you plan to release a product with more outputs soon? Could you please comment on this?

regards,
Øyvin Eikeland

@ Øyvin,

It's indeed a crossover unit for a 2way box. I.e. 2way box. It has all the processing and routing capability to make a high end FIR based + IIR based crossover which isn't exactly common at 299USD a pop for a fully enclosed solution. :-)

Hoping this clarifies.

Dear All,

FYI, We've updated the application with some some additional information on the basics of the OpenDRC FIR room correction along with some information from one of our software partners (Acourate).

Two links worth reading and available on our website:

Basics of the OpenDRC
AcourateDRC solution

More info to trickle in the upcoming weeks...
