guys..confused right now..on my sub there are RCA input white and red one but on my AVR only got one input.. how do i cannot them??


You can use 1-2 (y splitter) to gain +6dB. Or jz connect to white input of the sub. Some cases, red input. Refer to manual.

Need sifu advise.

I have an old Sony sub, which has a Freq.cut-off from 50 - 100Hz. I set it at 100 Hz.
My AVR 2309, I set the sub cut-off at 100 Hz.

Should I set my sub freq. lower? Same freq.as well for AVR?

Set your sub to bypass. Let your avr do the job

"bypass" means the sub will accept the freq. cut-off done by AVR?
Should I set the AVR cut-off sub freq. to the lowest? ie 50Hz?

I'm not sure my sub can bypass or not. will check it out.

Thks.

essentially, your sub won't receive the freq as it is being cut by the AVR.
bypass meaning, disable, or off the sub's crossover freq.
Let the AVR handle the crossover.

Best to set your AVR crossover to 80Hz-120Hz depending on your other speakers.

My sub can't set to bypass.
My other speakers setting at AVR was "Small"(bookshelf).
So, that means I need to set the sub and AVR crossed at same freq?
ie 100 Hz for both?

Jimmy,

What is the exact labelling on ur sub for this cutoff? I believe this is a low pass filter, meaning anything above this it will not play on the sub.

Also on the AVR what is the exact labelling of the sub? This shd also be a low pass filter so essentially they shd be set the same.

What I would advise u to do would be to decide the frequency of the mains/centre and the sattelite. What are they set at?

Also what is the rating on ur sub?

What is ur AVR? Does it have Audyssey? Or any room correction?

Jimmy,

It's called Cut-off Freq as stated in the manual, from 50Hz - 100Hz. I agreed, is a low pass filter.

Also on the AVR what is the exact labelling of the sub? This shd also be a low pass filter so essentially they shd be set the same.
It's called Crossover Freq(AVR Denon 2309)

What I would advise u to do would be to decide the frequency of the mains/centre and the sattelite. What are they set at?.
I set the crossover freq. for all speakers(FL,FR,C,SR,SL) at 100Hz in the Speaker Advance Setting menu.

Also what is the rating on ur sub?
I think is 170Watts.

What is ur AVR? Does it have Audyssey? Or any room correction?
Denon 2309 and I don't use the Audyssey and room correction.

Then it would be 100Hz for the AVR and sub. Normally you turn clockwise to the max at your sub xo to set it bypass. Else, just set to 100Hz.

Out of curiosuty, what speakers that you are using? Small bookshelf spkrs? hmm.gif

Jimmy,

As htkaki said, set both to 100Hz. How low does ur Sony sub go? Was this a standalone sub or something from a HTIB?

Why don't u use Audyssey? Did u run into any problems? If u did run Audyssey, could u let me know the settings that Audyssey suggested?

Also as htkaki asks, pls let us know what speakers u use?

The lowest setting for my sub is 50Hz, max is 100Hz. It's a standalone sub.

I'm not really study on how to use the Audyssey yet. Will try it out when I'm free.

My speakers very old liao...pai seh...he..he..
I'm using BMB Custom for FL,FR and C. They were a big taller than normal bookshelf(still use speaker stand), with 2 mid speakers and a tweeter.
My RS and LS is from Acoustic Energy(AE100).

Thks.

Ok. BMB speakers are normally for karaoke as such, high effeciency but also distortion. So u need to watch the volume. Since they are high efficiency, what speaker level trims did u set since u do not use Audyssey? If u do not have a SPL meter, it is difficult to set correctly and this could spoil ur HT experience as u could be overpowering ur surrounds or vice versa. Audyssey will take away all the guess work unless u are planning to set everything by ear and are happy with it.

Also these speakers don't normally go low as its meant for vocals. So I would suggest to let Audyssey do its thing and see how it sounds. I believe ur settings of 100Hz are not too far off, but I also believe u would not have adjusted the trims, unless u did. Audyssey automates this whole process of setting the speaker trims, crossovers and also checks if u set the phase correctly. If u run into any problems with Audyssey, let me know. Also pls use a tripod when u do Audyssey calibration. Read the instructions and carry out the 8 points if it allows. Then see how it sounds. It shd be more balanced and since it also has filters to fix the frequency issues in ur room, shd sound more correct.

Thanks for valuable advice.

What is "speaker level trims" as u mentioned?

FYI, these BMB speakers are not for karaoke, they were a specially custom made meant for home theatre used. Maybe I snap some photos later.

Will definitely try out the Audyssey.
