![]() So I’d guess DMS’s approach saves at least $1,000. And that’s of course not factoring in the cost of speakers. I can’t find a good looking 7.1.4 receiver (or 11.2 receiver as many places call them) for less than $2,400. If you put it all together, it’s like $1,800, give or take. Well DMS shows us all the components used. Happy listening! If you have questions I’ll try to check in here occasionally and answer them as well as in the YouTube comments. (don’t forget to DSP correct your subwoofer also!)Īfter all this, you should be ready to stream Atmos music and movies in 7.1.4 with 12 channels. It’s also worth noting that from here on out you’ll be using the volume control on the computer as the master system volume. Before you start running sweeps go to the back of the amp and turn the channel’s volume pot up while playing a test tone in REW (you’ll have to do this with each channel 1 at a time to match volume and get it to a level you want, then start your sweeps measuring the speakers and DSP correcting them with the MiniDSPs. One troubleshooting note, Ive set this up twice and on the first system it wouldn’t let the 2nd dac hold enough channels so I had to plug up 2 random dacs laying around to fill in the remaining channels and combine them in loopback, this is a simple process but just know if you have a problem with the 2nd cheap dac not working on enough channels, you may have to plug in an additional dac for a few more outputs.Īfter this you can go one at a time in REW. These screenshots are from an Apogee PDF on how to setup their symphony IO interface with Atmos, I’ve just adapted their instructions and included dad aggregation. Here’s some helpful pics of the setup process. Once this is done you can install the loopback software and connect your dacs. Next make sure ALL of the crossover filters are bypassed on out 1, 2, 3, and 4. There are some USB bricks on amazon that have 6-8 plugs pretty cheap.Ĭonnect to each miniDSP and make sure they’re set to stereo (system settings tab in the miniDSP software) ![]() Once it’s configured you can plug it into a USB brick on the wall. ![]() The each day gets a few set of 3.5mm to RCA cables coming out, these signals pass through the miniDSP 2X4 (two channels per miniDSP, channel 1 and 2), then into the Dayton speaker amp.Įach miniDSP will need USB power to function, BUT it only needs to be plugged into a computer during configuration. Mounting the speakers on the ceiling is up to you, I used PVC pipe with 3D printed brackets to keep it cheap. This 7.1.4 is set up like a normal 7.1 system but with 4 additional speakers above you (top left and right, back left and right) Here’s what I used, but you can mix this up and use different parts: If you didn’t see the video, here’s the link: I built an INSANE speaker system CHEAP - YouTube So! This post is a follow-up and guide for setting up a DIY Atmos system. ![]()
