2/20/2022 0 Comments Cambridge soundworks model 17The decoder unit / amplifier also has two analog inputs. I have not yet had a chance to try the Dolby Digital ability of the DIN connection with one of the 4760 boards but I expect that it will also work the same way (but only with 4 speaker DIN output). This eliminates the need for y-cables or cable switching if you want to use the DTT3500 with the one of the Sound Blaster Live cards that only have a mini-jack digital output. Specifically it is now a six-channel DIN input and the same DIN connection can be configured to send a Dolby Digital stream from the Sound Blaster Live 5.1 to the DTT3500. The DIN connection is revised from the DTT2500. The decoder unit/amplifier has both optical (new to the DTT3500) and COAX SPDIF digital input as well as Creative's DIN connection. I had to wait all day until I got home (10pm) to post this message because I haven't quite memorized my password, yet.yay!įrom the link provided by Shokunen (thx):
![]() CAMBRIDGE SOUNDWORKS MODEL 17 SOFTWARE(I believe you need some special DVD software for that, though. You can only use it with the Cambridge speakers, but you can get 5.1 with it, apparently. AFAIK, it's not an S/PDIF out, but some funky proprietary nasty thing. (Or TOSlink on the Live!Drive II or Hoontech's board.)Ĭreative's digital out is a different beast altogether. It's the S/PDIF out on the Live! drive/Daughtercard whatever. (But not under Win2K View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif) This uses a different digital out than the one on the card. Using PowerDVD and WinDVD however, you get a PASS THROUGH that sends the AC-3 signal over the digital out. (Even the 5.1 version they just released doesn't do it.) The Live! can't do AC-3 output at all, under any circumstances whatsoever. It's downmixed to 4.0 from 5.1, it's just that you have your woofer for all your speakers as the same one, which is not necessarily a good thing. That subwoofer on the Klipsch can't properly be called a. So if you buy these speakers, you can use them with your computer, a standalone DVD player or even the new Playstation 2. ![]() The OTHER way to get DD sound is via either PowerDVD or WinDVD.assuming you have a sound blaster live! card and a digital out cable to your DTT2500 or DTT3500 speakers, this will send the AC-3 signal via the digital out, and thus give you digital sound (and in my opinion, superior DVD quality). The DVD player or decoder card, while able to send this signal out directly from the DVD, cannot actually DECODE this signal.the signal is received by a.receiver/amplifier usually, which decodes the signal, and sends the sound to the appropriate speakers or channels, and amplifies the sound. Things like DVD players and Hardware decoder cards for computers come with AC-3 out, it looks like a coaxial cable. Perhaps it's SLIGHTLY more powerful, and the control box has slightly more features, but I'm reallly not 100% certain.ĪC-3 out is the dolby digital signal. Oh, last question.can I take a DTT2500 and hook it up to my standalone DVD player and get true AC3, somehow? someone said it's possible.is it?Īs far as I can tell, it's only the remote. What the hell is going on and why is cambridge trying to confuse me again? ARGHĪlright.anyone with any info on these models, and whether or not there's any way to get *true* AC3 with these speakers and an SBLive Value digital edition.? SB Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 5.1 Speaker DTT3500 SB Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 5.1 Speaker DTT2500 $375.00 SB Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 5.1 Speaker DTT2200 $240.00 SB Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 5.1 Speaker CSW3000 $355.00 So I spend dozens of hours reading up on the DTT2500 about 8 months ago, and I begin to have ~some~ understanding of it, and what it's compatible with (I'm still not 100% sure of what I would have to do to get true AC-3 thru an SBLive Value (digital ed.) + DTT2500.), and now I am presented with the following model names:
