    Highly recommended seller! Everything went super smooth, fast shipping and item was in top condition. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

    Thanks for pointing this out! I will definitely try this out in the next couple of days.

    I get this every once in a while, turning it off and on again fixes it. 🤷‍♂️

    I use the A16 for gaming on PS5 and Xbox Series X, I have not noticed the latency at all.

    I am not, I tried it once when I got my A16 but it seemed too fiddly and unreliable. I don't feel like I am missing out much.

    Thanks and no worries at all! 🌹 I know the manLOUD process quite well, so I was a bit confused at first. I even built my own manLOUD tool for Mac so I could more comfortably tweak the curve and hear results instantly. Dialing in everything on the Realiser is quite slow and sometimes minor...

    Really? I have done the procedure many times and it also affected the tonality of the other speakers, not just the center speaker. I would actually love to have a manLOUD procedure for every single speaker, not just all of them at once.

    The manLOUD procedure affects all channels, not just the center channel. The center channel is only used for outputting the noise during the process. This is also illustrated in some diagram in the manual.

    Interesting to hear that you experienced similar issues. I think the center speaker is really hard to get right in virtualisation, I don't notice any imbalance issues with left and right speaker for example. It would be even better if the Realiser would allow setting the balance for just the...

    Yes, the center is always off to the left. Some PRIRs are better or worse than others, but no PRIR is perfect.

    I love the new SVS Binaural Panning feature. I mentioned a while ago that in all 3rd party PRIRs and even custom measurements the center speaker seems to be a bit off center. I am not noticing this with normal Stereo at all, just with the Realiser speaker virtualisation. I tried to solve this...

    That is my plan actually, the studio owner never heard of the Realiser and I can't wait to for the "The speakers are still on" moment :D

    Ah, I didn't know they offer mp4 versions, I thought only WAV. Well, sounds like a good investment then!

    Thanks! Well, sounds like using the analog outs is the way to go then. I probably need some adapter cables to connect to their setup.

    I will be able to make a custom measurement at a local 7.1.4 studio soon. The studio is equipped with a Pro Tools setup but also a regular AV receiver/blu ray player. I was hoping to be able to make a async measurement, but I am wondering how I would be able to play back the async WAV files...

    Whoops, you are correct, HDMI Out is the eARC port, not HDMI 1... apologies!

    Try setting the Audio Source to eARC via the +/- ADJ buttons on the remote. The HDMI1 HDMI Out port on the back is the one with eARC input, I am not sure if mine has a label actually.

    Apologies John, I wasn't trying to make a general statement, it is just a personal observation which depends on many other factors (headphones, hearing, etc.) which might be totally different for other people. Also, I should've added a disclaimer that I have never listened to a (good!) Dolby...

    I have actually observed similar things. The more speakers the more mushy and unprecise the sound field seems to become, at least for me. I wonder if this is the result of phase cancellation or something like that, or maybe this is really an issue of mixing all those channels into one stereo...

    Can confirm this, I have the same player.

    What I meant with stereo is listening to a stereo listening room in the Realiser, not stereo with actual speakers. I don't have any speakers setup at the moment. What I described was that the stereo field was perfectly centered (L+R), yet the center speaker was not. I guess this could be due to...

    I have tried a flat HPEQ, yes. I don't think this is really a problem with the PRIRs or the Realiser, my ear canals are just very different and my brain probably does account for that when listening to actual sound sources. After thinking about it, I could also try making a center speaker...

    Does anyone else also have issues with the center speaker not being 100% centered? I have the same problem with all of my PRIRs (custom and third-party, multiple headphones) and I think it has to do with my right ear canal being very different than the other one and the Realiser doesn't seem to...

    I bought John's Omega PRIRs and had some time to set everything up. I was mainly interested in the 96 version because I always felt that his other PRIRs had the speakers a little too close for my taste and I wanted something slightly wider. I definitely appreciate the closeness and intimate...

    Yes, John's PRIRs are just amazing, I see no need for me to go through the hassle to get my own measurements. Actually, a Realiser Lite that would just do the Atmos/DTS/Auro decoding, include some of John's PRIRs and a more user friendly manLOUD process would be amazing and do the job for most...
