Hello Everyone. Have a new Muso2 that is, to say the least, amazing when listening to music. I had hoped to use the M2 as a sound source for alo watching movies. My Epson 3800 Home Cinema only offers a 3.5 audio out mini connector.
I bought a 25 (3.5) foot cable, and the voice quality of the spoken parts was completely underwhelming and actually difficult to understand. To me, it felt like there was too much bass. I tried to pair the M2 via Bluetooth and the M2 recognizes the Epson projector, but I could not get any sound out of it.
I know almost nothing about audio engineering, but it seems like some sort of equalizer functionality would be a nice addition to the Naim app.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to improve the sound quality of movie dialog? Thank you!
When I had my Mu-So2, it was sat on a solid wooden top of a unit and I found that with loudness set to off and room compensation set to near wall gave the best bass, this reduced what can best be described as a bass boom which was present before changing the settings.
This may well be down to the projector and how well (or not) it manages with audio, particularly any mix down from multichannel video sources, rather than the Mu-So2. I would imagine the audio side of the Epson is more just for convenience than quality as most would be feeding any high quality audio directly from the source/player to amp and speakers. A 25 foot cable is a long one, and the audio section of the Epson may be having difficulty in driving it properly, which may well account for a rather muddy indistinct sound.
I would suggest you feed the Mu-So 2 directly from your video source, preferably using the Optical digital input. Just be sure to set the digital out of the source to 2 channel PCM as the Mu-So only uses a 2 channel DAC so cannot decode a Multichannel bitstream signal.
More good ideas, Thank you very much. Appreciated. I can easily see how the less than ideal audio input would cause less than ideal sound quality. I will experiment with this.
I solved this issue by purchasing a small Bluetooth sending device from my computer to the Mu-so. It works perfectly. Perfect voice sync. Also, I think that turning off the loudness definitely made a difference, not only in the voice tracks, but in all music situations as well. I thought Mu-so was overly bass oriented; with Loudness off, it is absolutely perfect.
