@flemmingss - Sure, what you have diagrammed will work. It will give you the independent control of relative level that you want.
preamplifier after preamplifier?
Hi.
I have a preamplifier and a poweramplifier I am very satisfied with.
The preamplifier is connected to the poweramplifier and the powerampfiler is connected to speakers,
The connection between the pre- and power-amplifiler is also spited to two active subwoofers.
However, I miss the option to control my sub-woofers volume relative to the speaker volume.
My pre don't have any settings for tuning this, just volume +/-
Can I connect a Second pre-amp with independent volume before the sub-woofers? will this cause any damage or problems?
It might be easier to understand this drawing:
Pre #1: pro-ject pre box s2 digital
Pre #2: AIYIMA Tube Pre

The miniDSP SHD works well, I can add from my own experience. So does the Anthem STR Preamp, which has similar functions and a nicer interface, but costs twice as much, lacks a streaming network input, and is currently very difficult to find. Other candidates might be some units by Lyngdorf and the DSPeaker X4. I have not heard the last two. In general, as @deer_creek_audio pointed out, a DAC-preamp with DSP including crossovers for subs is a great way to configure a system with subs. It can give the fine control of LF response that is impossible to get in most rooms any other way, so excellent sub integration and flat response in the low frequencies. P.S. Some of the new NAD gear is similar in block diagram, too, and might be worth considering if you want to go in this direction. |
