Hi All,
I have been trying to distill down a debate on the best implementation of a subwoofer. I know that REL recommends their speakon connection, which rides on the speaker output and is suppose to be the best way to integrate into the music.
There's another school of thought that uses the DSP in the Devialet to use high pass and low pass filters to relieve the main speakers of the duty to produce low bass and to send that portion to the subwoofer. The benefits as I understand it are the speakers are not contending with the same bass frequencies as the subwoofer and the mains are freed up to focusing on frequencies higher up the bandwidth. I currently have them crossed over at 90 hertz and have been experimenting with this setup.
I am really limited on the amount of time I have to play around with both setups and am curious how you may run your subs.
Would love any information you might be willing to share.
Thanks!
