Home Theater Software: Add Your own List Here!

thuneau screenshot small picture On this page you will find home theater software. I encourage you to add your thoughts here as well.

Ultimately this list will be much more complete if we all have access to other (your) experiences with a given software or program. So don’t be shy!

This would be a good place to point out any issues you have had with a particular home theater software solution also.

What types of Theater Calibration Software might you Need?

This list can include any software type, whether a DVD player plug-in, room correction software, convolution software, crossover software, or music playback program such as Foobar 2000 or I-tunes.

Software that I use personally:

Foobar 2000 for music playback: I use foobar mainly because it loads so much faster than other programs. It is pretty utilitarian -but I like it that way.

Thuneau Allocator Light for speaker crossover: This is a great x-over program because it lets you bring any digital or analog signal into the computer from another machine like a DVD or Blu-ray player.

Internal audio processing can also be done with the use of plug-ins.

You can select the Allocator program to take It's input from an exterior source, implement digital filter slopes and output through an ASIO compliant multi-channel sound-card or firewire device - Home Theater Equipment.

Active Crossover description picture

Thuneau Allocator Light for Room EQ: Same program as above but it also has a room EQ or crossover leg function that allows you to adjust the sensitivity of different frequencies.

This software also allows for time delay of each individual crossover leg.

Multiple instances of Allocator can be used at the same time if more than the supplied 8 channels of output are necessary for your setup.

I-tunes for ripping CD’s -configured as WAV storage (uncompressed): I am concerned about compressing audio. So I rip them onto the hard drive at full size.

Hard drives are fairly cheap now so I just add drives as I need them. I keep the actual CD's as my backup. I also mirror files and drives for safe keeping.

Home Theater Shack -Room EQ wizard for room measurements: This is a pretty simple home theater software - Audio Home Speaker Testing system to use. They only ask for a small donation in order to download.

Video Essentials: for calibrating Video settings on displays. This is a Theater Software package to assist in setting up proper video, color, and black levels. Very useful kit.

Samsung Blu-Ray Player (this is an external player): I only mention this because I do not use the on-board DVD player of my computer.

Add your Software below and explain how You Use It

Thanks for your input! We look forward to seeing the different ways that others calibrate their audio and video systems.

Customer Testimonials:

"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.

My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA

"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.

Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.

I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.

The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.

I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.

The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.

These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)


"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99


"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45


"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254


"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244


"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...

While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182


"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30


"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.

My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26


"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.

Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142


"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!

I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
