connecting a sub-woofer to a preamp
Is it what you have? http://www.laaudiofile.com/images/seismic12b.jpg looking for a line level stereo to mono adapter? https://www.amazon.com/S2M-unbalanced-balanced-terminal-connectors/dp/B013F6FSRK |
Thank you, Forum members, for each of your responses and suggestions... In the meantime, since Ido have a separate home theatre system with its own sub. I tried interchanging the subs in each system. I confirmed that each sub does work in the corresponding system. However, the sub from the home theatre system is of considerably lesser quality, so I do wish to continue to work towards a more satisfactory solution. So, back to square one... the Paradigm Seismic 10 sub works but not when directly connected to the Ayre preamp. Subject to receiving any additional opinions, I think that the next solutions to be tried are (1) adding some resistance to the preamp-sub connection, or (2) trying to connect the sub to the LFT-8 speakers. I will advise as to what success, I achieve. I can advise that I am still waiting for a response to my e-mail from Ayre (12 days and counting) and have sent an e-mail inquiry to Paradigm (3 days ago). Thanks again for all of your good advice, Peter |
The single-ended outputs are what Charles Hansen recommended for my KX-5 Twenty. They go to a Velodyne SMS-1 bass manager that controls a pair of Velodyne HGS-10s. He strongly discouraged inserting anything, e.g., high-pass filter, between the preamp and VS-5 Twenty amp. The integration is sufficiently good that I can't identify the subs as a sound source, it just sounds like a pair of full range speakers (KEF LS50s). |
