Injecting one sub to Benchmark system…

Noob here and just hooked up my new Benchmark AHB2 and DAC3 HGC with pair of Totem1 bookshelf speakers.

I have a Velodyne SPL-R series subwoofer and would like to connect this. I’m seeing a lot of varied advice on the web on how to do this and thought I would come here for better advice.

Not even sure if the sub would connect to the preamp or the amp….any suggestions?

cheers

Your HGC should have two sets of RCA outputs, and one set of XLR output. Use a set left and right of RCA outputs to your subwoofer input. As for economical custom length RCA cables try bluejeans cable.

I would get a Dspeaker 8033 which will not only connect it but EQ it for integration with the speakers and your room.
