Default Does crossover auto simulation software Exist?

I have wave files of my impulse measurements.

Is there anything on the market that takes those measurements and optimizes a crossover for them?

I am not sure I understand your question but LEAP will generate a crossover using a Wizard format more or less automatically. It can also run circuit optimizations against a Guide curve as well from an existing circuit and measurement set.

Yeah, that is what I was trying to ask. I forgot about LEAP. But Madisound LEAPs program only works for drivers they sell.

I have wave impulse files and I would think a software package could take those files and create crossover simulations.

Hi , I wanted to ask this for a while, Do you think It worths applying that onto an LF something like a JBL 2235h ?
Or rather HF benefits?


BTW this one can do it , too, be sure to watch tutorials:

(((acourate)))® - Room Correction, Speaker Optimization and Sound Improvement

thanks!

Crap, The STransform software package can not import Wave files yet. Would have been cool to see my response in 3D. I have to see what other types of files HOLM can export.

Trying out Acourate demo....very, very limited.

pretty well I get to this point (imported my wave files)


Click the image to open in full size.

But I can not do much more. I have to find some help files on it.

Acourate will not generate a schematic for passive crossover network correct?

Well, there is a lot to read there, perhaps start with the whitepaper If you seek for phase coherent design apart the usual inverted frequency plots.

As far I understand the basic concept , you want to generate those correction coefficients afterall and those can get LOOOOONG both in terms of computational resources and processing time involved, so I pretty much gave up on it because its not really suited for my embedded app. Im toying with an esl57 now anyway.


-No passive crossover , passives can't do what is depicted in the whitepaper.

So its really a PC based DSP solution? It won't generate values for me to plug into my DCX?

btw, I like the interface.....not hard to figure out. Measurement packages seem to fail at that user ease of use thing and the toturials are great.

Ah its whole different than the DCX, this one is brute force FIR, whereas the DCX is rather cheap analog-alike IIR algo.

Also this one prefers low order filters , and using low order filters is mandatory once you stay phase coherent .
I just dont beleive the DEQX marketing fluff that its both steep and both phase chorent because byproducts cancel between drivers.
