HELIX AUTO TIME ALIGNMENT FEATURE

[@performingspecs7841]

Great video, very informative. I haven’t gotten to this stage yet in my setup but this at least shows me how to get set up and started.

[@chrismo5711]

I have a helix dsp in my truck but 2 out of my 4 speakers have stopped playing. This has happened before and I replaced my amp with a new amp. I contacted my installer and he is saying the same two channels on my new amp my have gone out or it could be the dsp. My question is can this helix dsp stop 2 speakers from playing? I think this is an install issue and not a dsp or amp issue

I have a question my head unit plays hires but only 24 bit should I get a dap or dac . And we're would I instal in on my helix m6 dsp.

Thanx for doing the vid. I was curious so I tried this. It shot my numbers way off. I am in a right drive car, I selected right drive and my USB HEC. Set my right side tweeter to full and ran it. It gave consistent results, they just were never even close to right. I tried both distance and delay. I'll keep trying but I use a laser ruler and plug in the numbers and they get me 100% better results. I think they might still need to work out some issues with this.

You're not first person to tell me this about RHD issues. You might be right.

[@brianperez9406]

Did the auto timealignment measuments match what a tape measure would give you because mine don't. Some say 0 some say 10.23 " just wondering if I am doing this correctly.

[@xb8slim]

Make sure you enter 100cm or more in the box I nel6its called distance to near speaker or something... I don't have laptop handy.

[@prtr2786]

Please make more videos explaining how to do rta and setting up phases also vcp ... God bless you

[@xb8slim]

I'll see about getting something together!

[@prtr2786]

@@xb8slim please please Also if possible a brief explanation of ATM and RTA 💐 My concern is ..I have a 2way full range in rear stage(helix p62 passive)and totally confused if I can do rta (with mic)And adjust the phases with my front stage 3 way which is fully Active . My dsp is v8 mk2 (6 channels front Active, 2 channels rear passive) Really appreciate your kindness

[@thomasbyers9153]

Since you are about the only one with a video could you possibly do a part 2 on the auto EQ.

[@xb8slim]

I don't use helix anymore but will try next time I have a customer that does.

[@JetDriver77]

Are you doing this after tuning or before?

[@xb8slim]

Time alignment must be done 1st

[@coolguy79jeffrey]

What type of microphone can we use? Can we use the plug in earphone with mic or the laptop mic?

[@Turb0Yoda]

Dayton’s UMM-6 is what he said he used in another post. The UMIK-1 from MiniDSP and Audiofrogs UMI-1(might have that one wrong) are also alternatives.

[@coolguy79jeffrey]

@@Turb0Yoda can I use any other usb mic? Like those not specialized for car audio?

[@xb8slim]

@@coolguy79jeffrey haven't tried but for auto TA it should work...

[@MrBroly10000]

With Helix, do you have to account for LR crossover slope phase change (12/24db) like you do with an analog crossover? Trying to determine if each speaker will need its phase and delay adjusted like you would with an MS8 or an analog crossover network.

[@xb8slim]

I personally have not come to a place where I needed to do that. At most I have played with crossover points... The only time I do try different slopes is with sub.

[@HereticHulk]

Hey man, thanks for the video. I am not having any luck with this. I am using a newer version 4.75, but that shouldn’t matter. It is not hearing my UMM 6 mic and the speaker display it has with the red checks doesn’t match what I have on the IO screen at all. Any help would be great.

[@xb8slim]

Ran into this tuning for a customer... 1st time it's happened. Currently I do not know the fix.

[@MrMr123]

Are you in Chicago? The Dirac Video has the comments turned off.... I live in Chicago, can i pick your brain on my build? I want to add Dirac

[@xb8slim]

Just south of Chicago. [e-mail]

[@screwf4ce1]

Are you disengaging your crossovers while doing this? Trying to figure out why mine is so off.

[@xb8slim]

No I am not. Usually it's the 'set to full' issue in the IO screen

[@HereticHulk]

What is the difference between delay and distance mode?

[@andreaskern1437]

It's the same, delay have a time specification and distance a specification in inch or meter. Sorry for my englisch.

[@kennyq45]

Thanks for posting this vid. Can you post a link to the microphone you used? Thanks!

[@xb8slim]

I use a dayton umm-6 from partsexpress

[@17shakil]

I was using digital input as source but everytime it say unsuccessful measurement

[@xb8slim]

In the first version of this... It was only RCA input... If you updated to where it can use the digital input ... Couple of maybes... Mark all unused channel to not used in the I/O screen. Depending on setup... My sub and others had to be cranked way up and even one we had to temporarily disable the crossover so the pop would play. Also I forgot to mention in the video... The distance to near speaker box, to the right of left or right hand drive... Set it to something that like 100cm. Otherwise it won't be right if it does finish.
