hi everyone--
Well, I finally jumped into the world of "real" subwoofers and added the PB10-ISD to my system on Friday night. I am still playing with it, but I am absolutely thrilled by its performance so far. I have it working in conjunction with a pair of PSB Image B25 mains, 4 CSW Newton surrounds (from a past life) and CSW's old top of the line Center channel speaker, driven by a Yamaha RX-V750. While I wait for my friend to return my Avia DVD and my Sound Level Meter, I used the YAPO auto measuring system from the receiver and, like I said, it sounds really quite fantastic (to my ears). I could not be happier with the sub.
My question (at last) is how I should be setting the Phase control on the back of the subwoofer. As per Ron's suggestion, the Yamaha's crossover is at 80Hz, but I cannot seem to find a suggested setting, neither in the Yamaha's manual nor in the sub's manual (though it does give a good explanation)) for the Phase control. There is mention in the Yamaha manual to "set the the crossover/high cut frequency to maximum" so I have set the Phase control to near the 180° mark.
I have looked through the FAQs for an answer but perhaps I didn't look closely enough.
Any suggestions on how to set this setting would be appreciated. My old sub was set to around 140° or 160° and I got that setting from the old sub's manual.
thanks!
