High pass quality to mains uisng Velodyne DD subs

Hi,

For those who have incorporated one of the DD series subs into your two-channel system, did you use the line level high pass filter from the sub to your main speakers amp?

I have two sets of outputs from my preamp, so I could run one set to the sub and one set full range to my mains. I was just wondering if folks had experienced much degradation of signal going line level from preamp to DD to mains amp.

Theoretically, I like the idea of the high pass filter.

Getting ready to set up my dd18.

Regards,

Jerry

Yes it does and I am but I would like to have one just for the fact I could see the readout without a TV. And it will control other subs.

I have a DD15 and did not use the high pass filter. I much prefer to run the mains unincumbered.

Vladimir, you should take note that using the SMS will overide the servo control in Velodyne's subs and I would guess in others as well. That's the only reason I don't use one with my DD15. If your sub doesn't have servo control then it will not matter.
