No, Zephyr, it's running out of a preamp output (this is a 2 channel rig, no surround). When I had a Velodyne DD sub in the system, of course I would use the internal crossover etc etc and I had it crossed over pretty low, probably around 40 Hz or so (I've got Avalon Eidolon Visions, no monitors) so they didn't overlap with the lower bass of the Eidolons. I was just surprised that on the absolute lowest setting on the REL crossover, I was still getting quite a lot of sound at the higher frequencies. I'm not a REL expert by any means, and I know that their crossovers/integration is different, thus my original question. I did have a old REL storm in my old home....I tried the neutrik connection and the low level connection and compared. I'm sure the REL engineers are smarter than I am, but man I sure did get quite a lot cleaner bass out of the low level connections than using their preferred way.
REL subwoofer crossover question
Hope someone can help me out with this.....I am somewhat familiar with how the crossover settings work on REL subs (2 Brittania B2) but don't know if they differ from other manufacturers such as Velodyne. My question is should I be hearing bass frequencies in the 60-80 hz range when I have the crossover setting at the A 1 position (which according to the manual rolls of at 22 HZ? I'm not too familiar with how the crossover rolls off, but I'm surprised that I can't get any rolloff below 80HZ. Is this room nodes/issues or what? I have played a little with placement and all but haven't gone crazy with them. I am using a single RCA for the left one out of my preamp and vice versa. (I haven't tried the neutrik connections yet, have to purchase if the are truly better). Any thoughts? Thanks.
