some most not all Dolby atmos mixes have discrete Lc Rc
rogue one , doesn't have Lc Rc

slowly going though the Dolby atmos titles seeing which ones use Lc Rc

matrix five screen plus , is extension add on to the stormaudio elite mkIII 32 , as most movies Dolby atmos don't have discrete Lc Rc and stormaudio matrix upmixers Dolby dsu or dts neural x won't allow to matrix in a Lc Rc channel . so i have added the Dolby SDU4 to matrix a Lc Rc , similar to how i had it working with Denon avc-x8500h

xlr y lead connected to centre channel and shared with two Dolby SDU4 and then connected to the behringer DCX 2496 for Lc Rc discrete and matrix decoders from x2 Dolby SDU4
LFE.1 also connects to DCX 2496

LCR connect to first behringer DCX 2496

input A left discrete
input B centre discrete
input C right discrete

input A Lc discrete / matrix Lc
input B LFE.1
input C Rc discrete / matrix Rc

drac Screenshot 2023-04-05 08.25.18.png have now really made me angry red faced , no i will not use its rubbish money grabbing eq system , they have basic drac and high end drac eq , oh , its money now grabbing thing . stuff drac . how i have my system is where i get true like pinpoint overhead surround and drac eq or any eq if eq the system ahead of any other additional matrix decoder i use will mess up the logic steering so drac would be utterly useless to me , drac is aimed at " home theatres people " that follow dolby specs , me i bend the rules
so again drac is a no for me . all my eq is done at the other end of my , b-chain and eq is highly complex

screw drac and screw stormaudio , what a scam . i feel like smashing up stormaudio with a hammer i really do feel like smashing up that bullshhhh it , processor i really do . drac have made me very , red faced larva , red face angry

audio hi-fi is scam market for crap rubbish dumb loudspeakers , crap mp3 crap atmos , crap dead auro3d , crap dtsx crap headphones crap hi-fi cars , crap eq , crap 4k , crap 8k crap 500k , crap steaming , crap digital cinemas , crap THX , crap JBL , crap bose , crap klipsch speakers utter crap , crap , crap and mega crap , its easy for drac french to easily push the wrong buttons and seriously pisssssssssssss me off

usb microphone for stormaudio elite mkIII 32 > ? that is the question ?
i see how it fairs when it arrives to see if i'm still , ,

also rca to usb lead i see how that fairs when that arrives to connect with the audio mixer that has multi microphones connected i doubt i would even use the stromaudio elite mkIII 32 , own Eq which i think is bit rubbish , 20 Peq bands , that takes the biscuit that does , 20 is not even 20,000 Peq bands enough at very narrow Q-bandwidth that slices in on each sine wave tone
the Eq around today are joke each band of sine wave needs be adjusted , so what 1/3 so what Peq there just simply isn't enough on behringer FBQ2496 even if the units was daisy chained so all the Peq can be dialled in , but still falls short , by tens of thousands

stormaudo five screen wide matrix plus , now fully working

duel mono switches activated sends the L and R to the inner Lc Rc channels as stereo only with centre signal merged with L R , a sort of stereo narrow channel

duel stereo switches activated L C R bass is good

duel Dolby surround activated L Lc C Rc R , bass with five screen is fuller impacting exciting

discrete Lc Rc can still pass though 2nd behringer DCX2496 with xlr y lead/cable , matrix Lc Rc is also connected to DCX2496 A B C of the A C inputs

first DCX2496 is for L C R

With StormAudio, Dirac is tied to the hardware and all levels of Dirac are included. A key is not needed and just works. All Stormaudio owners get full range correction and DLBC included. If you purchased your Stormaudio unit this year, ART will also be included. If you purchased the unit prior to 2023, I believe the cost is $299.

2nd great day for laserdisc original , star wars , ' return of the jedi '

trying to solve Sony SDDS D3000 system output with few gadgets , art clean box , which didn't work out well . next tried one of other two behringer DCX 2496 connected to Sony D3000 system output to enhance the regular surround for Dolby Stereo 4.2.4 and discrete , only runs with Dolby Stereo CP200 CP750 , dts cad 5 to the Sony SDDS D3000 that is connected to the stormaudio elite mkIII ( unbalanced rca 8 channel input )

For sure. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of how the Dirac licensing works and is included with the StormAudio.
