My wife and I wanted to update our tv/media stand for quite some time. I built a really nice oak shelf with my cousin who was a cabinet maker back in 2007. It was fine, just the oak wasn't our style and the color wasn't our color anymore.
Previous setup, this was halfway through removing things from the shelf. I knew I wouldn't have time for a proper dirac live with bass control run, so was just inputting my old settings for distance and levels. The HTP-1 allows for direct input of REW filters too. Makes it super easy to input my old PEQ settings. It has 16 PEQ's for each channel. This can be run without Dirac live, before dirac live, or after dirac live. You can see a demo version of this awesome HTP-1 interface made by pinksoda over on avs forums here: http://jsoosiah.com/
The HTP-1 awesome has an awesome ability to use the input from either left or right signal and route it to every single speaker you have. No need to use asio or anything else that is limited to just the 7.1 base channels (they can't do heights). So many nice features with this thing!
