Should i use ypao

Hi I have just run the setup again and notice that when I look under the subwoofer setttings, that YPAO have only made adjustments in the higher frequencys. I think the lowest is I can see in my old pattern that changes was made to 62hz.

Hello Roland. I have a and want to use an external amp to run my front stage LCR. Is there any settings that I need to change in the setup? Thanks for all your help.

Hi all, it is very interesting reading here. Could anybody write me size of triangular base and pole for YPOA yamaha microphone, I would like to replace it. Thank you. Why does it set it so low? There is no bass in any of my movies or music hardly and I set the gain at half way when setting up and my hertz at I love the sound otherwise but seem to being having issues with the subwoofer and I also seem to be getting a hum from the sub wether playing or idol and I was told this Yamaha can handle just about any subwoofer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologise for the late reply. If you are having such serious issues, I would recommend making manual adjustments to the subwoofer after setup. Alternatively, you can try and relocate the sub. I would urge you to follow the article to the letter when it comes to microphone placement, though, before you do anything else.

Need dialog improvement — thanks for the article, excellent description! Old ears but relatively new to the tech, something like learning a foreign language. Using Yam RX-A in 5. Mostly HT. Movie dialog clarity is issue with my ears.

Using single pt. YPAO with long extension for mic and cc is set up by dB. Any suggestions to help with dialog clarity? Working on room in parallel. Lusting for avr upgrade to get better YPAO and pre-outs but need to understand my current system better to begin with.

Dialog clarity can be due to a few issues. Even just a couple of these might improve things a lot! Look into getting a dedicated centre channel speaker made for dialogue! If you are sitting right in front of a wall, some treatment on the wall. You can try placing a blanket behind you. If that helps, build a sound absorbing panel using a canvas and a decorative throw.

Ensure there are no hard surfaces that the sound is bouncing off of like a hard floor without carpeting! Just bump it up to 1. Hi, thanks for taking the time to write this article up. I have the mic though. So I was wondering, if I cant find a replacement mic base could you suggest a workaround?

Can I just mount the Mic at multiple positions to get a multi point setup filter and eq profile from the av software? Or is that little 3 position boomerang base necessary? I was also thinking I could go down to my local yamaha dealer and see if I could trace the baseckn a piece of cardboard and take measurements and make one.

What do you think? I would say it is necessary! Can you buy one online? Might as well get one on eBay if or Yamaha directly. However, having said all that. It will still sound awesome. I purchased a used Yamaha from eBay last year for a great deal but no accessories.

I just called Yamaha directly, gave them the model number and they sent me everything I needed and it was cheaper than any prices I found on amazon or anywhere else. Sorry if I write in several articles. I thought I wrote here. The bass in some frequencies are loud and rumbled. Single point sets then to And is actually more pleasant to listen to. If single point sounds better then what you could try is measure only the primary listening position in the following way: 1. Middle of the head at ear height 2.

Left and right where your ears would be so 10cms left and right from position one 3. Experiment with placement in the primary listening position and see if things improve. Please do report back. I have tried many different variations now, and nothing seems to be as it should. Im thinking my only solution is to buy a mini dsp hd and a umik 1 mikrofone. Since I have dual subs using an antimode will not be optimal. I will then have to do a lot of reading to figure out rew.

If I learn how to eq with the mini dsp, how do I implement that with ypao? Can you please relocate your sub to a corner opposite your current if possible before trying anything else. Also try a non-corner position.

I wrote a guide on how to use a mic to set the filters manually. Try that next. I will get a longer subwoofer cable and try to place the other sub in the opposite back corner. Have a question regarding YPAO manual setup.

Ive run autosetup and gone back into manual setup to confirm speaker parameters for my system. I havent copied any of the 3 PEQ filters into the manual setup.

The resolution will depend on which amp you have whether it has YPAO 32bit or 64bit. I have 3 recliner chairs placed next to each other. Should I place mic on tripod behind each chair with mic height just over headrest? I Have difficult finding out where to place mic according to your description. I have 3 recliner chairs, should mic be behind with mic just over head rest? Hi Michael, Yes that is fine! See how you go! Also what I would say is experiment and see what sounds best in your room.

The Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer YPAO function detects speaker connections, measures the distances from them to your listening position s , and then automatically optimizes the speaker settings, such as volume balance and acoustic parameters, to suit your room. PDF Download. Configure the corresponding speaker settings manually before performing YPAO. During the measuring process, keep the room as quiet as possible and do not stand between the speakers and the YPAO microphone for accurate measurement.

I have minidsp for 8 channels but havent configured it properly yet. Just did quick tests. I would prefer a quick YPAO solution but have a feeling i would have to spend more time on minidsp. Any thoughts? Is xt32 so much better that you guys just use it out of the box?

I have successful results on my main and second systems. I haven't run it on my 3rd system yet but I should. Which model Yamaha do you have? What speakers are you using? Do you use a sub? YPAO sounds fine to me. When I ran it, it set my speakers to large so I just changed them to Small and use a 60hz crossover to the sub.

Imaging is better, the music just seems clearer and more focused, if that makes sense. YPAO volume is designed for times when you want to listen at lower volumes. I have not measured, but it seems to boost the midbass or midrange frequencies a bit for sure. The issue with this is that many do find it a little too bright and or clinical when experienced in smaller rooms. I'm very surprised Yamaha didn't include other options on your model or actually give more details as to the filtering within that model's owner's manual.

You have 2 levels higher of a model than I do, but different lines. Wedge to reduce Vibration. The Adventage models above the use different DACs and include many other component differences when compared to the models below them. You'd have been financially better off buying an RXV and I doubt that the A's chassis construction would have made a noticeable difference to their comparative audio performance?

The Adventage models below the RXA10xx models are particularly good value for money. Good catch, my room is small. Perhaps I should turn on PEQ for movies and leave it off for music?
