***A TASTE OF WHAT IS TO COME***
I am going to test out my powered towers tonight. First I will turn down the volume of one of the built-in powered woofers (while keeping the other built-in woofer's volume at my normal position of 1 o'clock on the dial) and play my favorite music. Second, I will turn the volume back up to 1 o'clock (so that each built-in woofer is set at the same volume again).
Let me know if there are any major problems or concerns with this test.
Others owners of powered towers should also try this out.
Def Tech's internal crossover is set at 80Hz. My DSP-A1's crossover is fixed at 90Hz. I use no external sub. My speakers each have two 1 inch tweeters, four 6.5 inch midrange drivers, and one 15 inch woofer. I have wired my woofers via "full range low level in" on the speaker, to the "pre out" and "main in" on the receiver. I am not sure if the receiver has overrided the internal crossover of the speaker. If anyone has information about this, I would much appreciate any info you can give me.
It has been said that all frequencies below about 80 or 90 Hz are nondirectional. So if I turn down one of the woofers, in theory it should not make a huge difference correct? Maybe there will even be an improvement because there is only one woofer playing, which means no cancellation? But on the other hand, will the smoothness and coherence of sound still be evident?
Later tonight, we shall see...we shall see
