RE: Immersive sound, multi-speakers
I've pretty much decided not to try to purue the "Halfer" surround system.
With the equipement I have, it would be difficult to implement, and could
put amplifiers at risk.
However, I received excellent suggestions on this topic from LD - thanks!
What I am still considering is a flexible, multi-speaker
(amp/cabs)approach , at least for home use.
I remembered a cool product that Rane makes, (SM26b , www.rane.com). It
can be used to split mono or stereo inputs into multiple stereo or mono
outputs. In reverse, it acts as a mixer.
It has pan and level, but should be quite sonically transparent when placed
between computer interface outputs, or FX outputs, and amplifiers.
For example, with the SM26, you can route a stereo signal (or dual mono)
to
- 2 stereo amps, and/or
- 1 mono center channel (by panning)
Or, 2 mono signals panned/leveled to 6 mono outputs
Lots of other possibilities
This should make it easy to experiment.
I'm also considering Hemisphere speakers from
http://www.electrotap.com/hemisphere/ as possible ambient speakers -
Perhaps add 3 Hemisphere speakers to sides/rear of room, along with my
current 2 accugroove front main speakers.
Hmmm....:-)
