    Subwoofer application musical v.s. home theater

    i think one of the problems i'm running into, is that some of the people that have commented on my system have been listening to some of the newer made in china home speakers put out under the cerwin vega name. i mean, i understand that i don't have crazy expensive high end speaker arrays, but...

    Subwoofer application musical v.s. home theater

    i'm quite happy with my setup, despite being recently told that it's a big pile of s***. i listen to a few genres of music, but my preference if for loud fast metal. bands like lamb of god, decapitated, bury your dead, etc. fast, deep double bass. i've seen these guys live, and for what i've...

    Subwoofer application musical v.s. home theater

    the major difference between music playback and home theater is frequency range. my understand is that rock and metal tracks will not drop much lower than 35 hertz, given that most adults lose the ability to hear low tones. so most of us feel those frequencies instead of hearing them. and the...

    yeah. play toccata and fugue in d minor through a system capable of reproducing it and you'll feel how low a pipe organ can go.

    Subwoofer terminology

    if anyone out there is still watching, i have questions about folded horns. about all i know about them, is that the port continually increases in size over the length of the port, and that they are supposed to provide great bass response. i would like to learn more about these enclosures if...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    update. spoke to one of the guys at a sound and lighting company about my issues. he told me to bring the cleanbox down and he'd test it out. i brought the rca and xlr cables that i was using to go between the avr, clean box and amp. he set it up how i had it, and it didn't work. then he...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    that's what's making me crazy about the cleanbox. i figured it was a voltage issue, and hoped that the cleanbox would fix that. i'm hoping it's just a defective unit, or i'm overlooking something really simple that will make me feel stupid once i discover it. because not having this work...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    that's cool. and i'm glad that it worked out for you. i want to add a second sub at some point, but i thought that i should figure out how to get the full potential out of this amp first. and of course it doesn't help me any that nobody that i know has an shs audio amp. they all have crown...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    the card that came with mine does state that there are line level/gain controls for both balanced and unbalanced. so i tried to adjust both knobs while it was hooked up regardless of the label on the box. it also says to "loop unbalance outputs to unbalance inputs to provide an inline balanced...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    oh, i forgot to clarify. yes, i'm connecting the rca to unbalanced input 1 and the xlr to balance output 1. i've also tried it with channel 2, just to be thorough. i sent art and email sat to see if they could help me, but they have not replied. i'm assuming that they only do the mon through...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    it's labeled as unbalanced input 1, and unbalanced input 2, then balanced output 1 and balanced output 2, so that part is somewhat idiot proof. as for the level adjustment knobs, there are only 2 and both are labeled unbalanced output. i would post pics for you, but i'm not allowed to yet...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    sooooooo, i tried testing out my equipment, and the cleanbox doesn't work. i ran an rca into the amp from my computer, and the amp and sub definately work. then i hooked up the cleanbox pro, and got nothing. i hooked it up with unbalanced rca in and balanced xlr out, then unbalanced 3.5mm in...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    yeah. it's plugged in. not a silly question, i've seen people forget to plug things in, or forget to hook up speaker wires, etc. i've gone into the setup on the onkyo and adjusted the sub out level, the frequency cut off for both the sub and the front channel, since the front channel cutoff...

    -10 RCA to +4 XLR converter

    i realize that this post is quite old, but i have questions about the cleanbox pro, and since you own one, i figured you'd be a great source for info. i use my system for both movies and music of course, but i tend to lean more towards the music side. i'm by no means an audiophile and i'm...
