The Center at Scale

 I have the center on my rack ready to start configuration. 


Despite the size (smaller than many!) this is a deliberately limited-low frequency center.   It was designed to cut off ~ 55 Hz and pretty much does.  With the processor's 80 Hz high pass filter the center cannot produce much bass. 

Lets show how this all integrates.  These are measurements from the listening location, so they SHOULD be dirty.  The red line in the background is the center channel, the blue line is my right speaker.  You can see how well the center is matching my main speakers.  This explains the really great integration.

One thing to note is that DSP processing takes time, so the speaker looks like it is about 10" further back than it really is. The Dayton Audio OmniMic DVD is a great help here.  The short sine sweeps run simultaneously from the left and center speakers make sure you get exactly the right delays. 

Please ignore the poor bass in the chart, I had not yet fixed up the subwoofer phase alignment.
