I have a pair of 3 inch Vifa mids I am eventually going to put in betwen the Morel MW-162 and Infinity eMit tweeters I presently have. Now that I have my UCSPro's, that is something I am hoping to have done before I go to the CES in January... TIME'S A WASTIN'!!! Better hop to it!!! Wow, that is an incredible processor.  What frequency steps are the crossover points at?  I really like my Sony processor.  It has some advantages over that Alto Mobile unit (gotta love 72 dB per octave slopes), but then the Alto Mobile unit looks to have some advantages as well.  I wonder how they would compare.  How much does that unit go for?  I would love to have similar processing, but not be required to run Sony head units.

The crossover points are infinitely adjustable, AND real-time. Grab the icon on the PC screen, move it, and the response changes with the icon. 48dB is plenty, I'm thinkin' LOL. 72dB!?!? Holy Rolloff, Batman! The biggest advantage to the Alto, is it will work with ANY head unit. I'll bring my manual with me when I come see you in Las Vegas. You guys gonna still be at the San Tropez? BTW, I think it goes for about 600.00 (I am not allowed to say what I paid for it - sorry) --ddIt all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

48 is definitely good enough in most instances.  But I will take full advantage of the very quick slope when I put my tweeters up on the dash and the mids in the doors.  The steep slopes will greatly reduce lobing issues.

One of the greatest weaknesses of the Sony unit though is it's crossover points available.  But the other functions greatly make up for it.

That would be awesome.  I believe we are in the same room that we were in last year.  I can find out more details for you if you like.  We would be listed in the directory as well.  Final Sound and Creative Sound Solutions will be sharing our room as they will be showing products we developed.

BTW, if you are curious about the Sony unit, you can download the service manual it as well as Sony's Digital Sound Creator software to see all the funcionality here: http://www.matronics.com/xdp4000x-list
