25 July 2025 at 8:32 am #1099Please email* us a download link to the files you’re averaging, screenshots of the “Measurement Averaging” “Load & Setup” & “Averaging” tabs, and an “Averaging Session File” and we’ll take a look. I’m fairly sure I know what’s happening with the WAV export – there’s probably not enough samples being saved prior to the IR peak – but I need to confirm.

16 July 2025 at 9:12 am #1079Our single-channel products are aimed more at EQ’ing full speakers and system tuning, but can be used for multi-way loudspeaker design – by using one channel project per driver. However it’s not possible to see the combined, summed response of all drivers. (FIR Designer allows multiple program windows to be be displayed so it’s possible to look at, and work on, all channel projects simultaneously.)
FIR Designer M is aimed at multi-way loudspeaker design and shows the combined response at every stage of the workflow. It also has tools for viewing off-axis responses with the multi-way processing.
So, yes, if your focus is designing processing (including crossovers) for multi-way loudspeakers, FIR Designer M is the best product.

19 June 2025 at 4:27 pm #1075What is the effect of running a 96kHz filter on the 93675 hZ DSP of Hypex? Will it work with a slight frequency offset in the magnitude response?
93.75 kHz is 97.66% of 96 kHz. So the net effect of running a 96 kHz designed filter at 93.75 kHz is that the effective frequency response will be 2.34% lower in frequency. (For example a response peak designed for 18 kHz will actually be at 17.59 kHz.)

17 June 2025 at 11:26 am #1073Take a look at sections 5 and 7 of
I always set Filter-Delay to 0 in FIR Designer ….. This is to slightly increase the resolution of the low frequency control within the limited number of filter taps.
The overall filter length is what mostly affects the low frequency resolution and control. The delay setting mostly relates to the type of filter you are making. With a delay of 0, you’re making a minimum-phase filter, which you could also do with IIR filters, or a mix of both IIR and FIR.

16 June 2025 at 6:51 pm #1071That sounds like a question for Rational Acoustics. It’s beyond the scope of our software support.

13 June 2025 at 7:41 am #1068Hi, yes they support FIR with 1500 taps per channel, 3 channels in case of DSP3-213.
Great, that’s 16ms per channel. So to clarify, what you need is FIR Designer to be able to create FIR filters at 93.75 kHz?
We would consider enabling 93.75 kHz if we could also emulate the Hypex IIR filters, as part of complete preset creation. For that we need IIR filter information from Hypex – see the “FIR Designer Brand Integration” link above. If you have contacts at Hypex, please reach out to them. We have not had any success contacting them in the past.

8 June 2025 at 6:23 pm #1065However, if I import RTA data with banding set to “None” and then run ‘Octave smoothing’ the tilt does not change.
That is correct. FIR Designer works fundamentally with transfer functions, not power spectrums. So when a RTA spectrum is imported into FIR Designer, it’s shape is essentially treated as a TF spectrum (but without any phase), which is why the smoothing function does not act like “banding”.
We provide RTA importing into FIR Designer for convenience, since often it’s helpful to design EQ based on a RTA measurement. So when importing a RTA measurement, we recommend applying the “banding” in SMAART before importing.
Please add “stop generator after Capture’ beside of ‘Signal generator”
‘Signal Generator’ buttons are too far from ‘Reset Time averaging’. Please move to above ‘Signal generator”We will consider this but no promises. 🙂

6 June 2025 at 2:25 pm #1062I don’t know why. The perception that “FIR filters are always linear-phase” is more apparent in pro audio and hifi audio than in other fields, like telecommunications. It may be due to audio folks historically wanting low-latency minimum-phase filtering which is typically done with IIR filters OR linear-phase filtering which can generally only be done with FIR filters. And therefore the fact that FIR filtering can also do mixed-phase and maximum-phase filtering has not been considered until recently.
