Mathematically, the cross-feed is identical to analogue cross-feed from the 1980s. But the digital implementation is the key here, and doing it perfectly transparently is no simple task - that's why the digital cross-feed on all my designs uniquely run at very high sample rates and uses noise...

Just press both filter and cross-feed switches together at start-up (rainbow display).   Pressing filter and cross-feed together after start-up will then change the brightness of the display. 

The code for cross-feed on TT2 is identical to Dave. That said, the benefits of cross-feed maybe more apparent with Dave because the perception of depth and detail resolution is much better with Dave compared to TT2.

So cross-feed wasn't included on Mojo for a number of reasons - number of buttons being one, and power dissipation being another, so limiting battery life. Also, way back when Mojo was designed, I wasn't as keen on cross-feed as I am today; Hugo 2 with the improved transparency and better depth...

To get exactly the same image width as per listening directly under the microphone you need cross-feed set to the max (blue on Hugo 2/Mojo 2). Of course, this setting does not mean all other recordings should be set to this, as it depends upon if the mix has hard left and hard right, and ones...

The album was recorded in 1967, and it has hard panned right guitars, so it would benefit from cross feed. This was typical in the 60's. Remember too that it would have been mastered with loudspeakers - which would give say +/-30 degree stage width, which is emulated with cross feed set to max...

No, its the same as an analogue cross-feed but done digitally.   Rob  

The cross-feed function includes EQ to compensate for the head shadowing effect; this means that LF's are boosted by 1.5dB and this would account for the warmer balance.   Since I have been using Hugo 2 a lot on my travels, I find the cross-feed is absolutely essential to get good depth. I was...

Somewhat amusing - cross-feed on headphones is supposed to make headphones sound more like loudspeakers, but the Carver, if perfectly implemented, attempts to make loudspeakers sound like headphones! I don't think that's a good idea - I much prefer cross-feed on headphones. Also, using out of...

Yes, but it's not much - 1.8dB on full. It is there because with speakers, there is a time delay from one ear to the other - moreover the time delay for bass is different for high frequencies; also the crossfeed has to account for the frequency response of the head attenuating HF from the other...

0 is no crossfeed; 1 is min, 3 is max. It is the same as Hugo.   Rob

The speakers are not so far apart from ideal, so only need a small amount of cross-feed for the bulk of the recordings I play.

Jazz gave the perfect explanation a post earlier.   I would add - I find cross-feed very useful for early stereo recordings, where they panned hard right or left a lot of the time.    The simplest way of thinking about it is from classical music - do you want the conductors perspective - a...

The maximum un-clipped output is a little over 5V RMS into a 300 ohm load. The 37v is just a calculated entry on my speadsheet, please ignore that value!   Pressing cross-feed on power up sets it too 3v RMS with 0dBFS input.   Rob

Cross-feed is a digital implementation of conventional 1980's analogue techniques - so mathematically it is identical to conventional analogue cross-feed.   Absolutely no added reverb at all within Dave.   I would recommend you try Dave at home - not that you can't hear what Dave can do in a...

...  Actually, production Dave now has short circuit protection resistors installed on the balanced XLR, so it absolutely won't drive headphones! It didn't have the current drive either for headphones too.   As to cross-feed - I prefer 3, its closer to loudspeaker perspective.   Rob

...Range: Chord | Chordette Phone: +60 3-7728 2686 Email: Info@centrecircleaudio.com.my Website: www.centrecircleaudio.com.my   As to cross-feed I should have been a little clearer - the cross-feed control is enabled, which has a default setting of 0 (which is off). Yes I agree, cross-feed...

On 44.1 white to green is v small, it's with hd recordings when you get a big change in SQ. So I leave it set to green for the 96 and 192 k recordings.

My personal settings on cross-feed depends; for headphones I always set it to the maximum; but my office system (HMS and Dave) with Dave driving small loudspeakers I set it to 1, or the minimum, as the speakers are a little too wide apart. In both cases, perception of depth improves, and I get...

...bells being played. But I initially thought the bells were from the aircraft, not the recording - it was a surprising experience. With cross-feed off, it was not convincing at all, back to sound inside your head. With the original Hugo, I never got that out of head experience from cross-feed...

The DSP core handles EQ, cross-feed and finally the volume control, so it's always operational. But if EQ or cross-feed are all off, then the volume control receives bit perfect data from WTA1. So there is no processing at all when all the features are off. No it's still using the 15T. But the...

I dial it to the max, blue. Agreed - cross-feed has no right or wrong setting, that's why it's switchable. I like blue simply because it sounds closer to speakers, but it's a personal preference.

...you are hearing is down to the EQ and not a reduction in transparency because the depth perception improves; with DSP if there is a problem in transparency you hear it with depth getting worse as DSP's problem is small signal non-linearity. But with cross-feed on, depth gets much better.   Rob

...processing is that you have an output that has a larger bit depth - in the case of Hugo 2 its internal processing is at 48 bits for the cross-feed. This needs to be converted back to 24 bits for the next stage processing; and I can do this very aggressively with maintaining small signal...

So your friends/spouse/mate can listen too. TT2 can easily drive two headphones together. Same algorithm and the same cross-feed code - so it's some other reason for it sounding different.
