Continuous Phase Adjustment in Subwoofers


Why do some premium subwoofers, like REL, not have a continuous phase adjustment? It seems like this feature would make placement more flexible and allow for more seamless integration with the main speakers. Can someone educate me? Thanks!

REL advocates their sub integration through high-level (speaker-level) connection, which feeds the subwoofer the exact signal the main speakers receive including the same amplifier voicing and timing. This natural alignment of gain and signal characteristics helps eliminate many of the integration complexities that would normally require continuous phase tweaking. 

Hope this helps!
