    Connecting James EMB1000 subwoofer

    Thanks for your answer. I actually found a way to connect the subwoofer by connecting an RCA cable from my mixer's Line Out to the subwoofer's Low Level Input. It's an akward solution, but it seems to work! Also, as my mixer has a separate volume knob for Line Out, I can handily control the...

    Connecting James EMB1000 subwoofer

    Hi! I just bought a James EMB1000 subwoofer second hand, but I'm not sure how to connect it to my system (speaker level, as I have a vintage amplifier). My old subwoofer has 8 connections for this purpose: 4 connectors for left and right channel input, and 4 connectors for output to the...

    Taming bass boom with a balloon?

    Has anybody else tried this? I have had problems with bass boom due to the fact that I need to have my rear ported speakers placed in the corners of the room. I find the port bungs remove way too much bass, so I tested to put an inflated balloon just barely covering the rear port...and I...

    Connecting a B&W ASW 675 to mixer and integrated amp

    OK, cheers. My idea was to connect the sub from the pre out, and then from sub to aux in. The only difference from the instructions in the manual is that I plug it into aux in instead of line in. But you're saying there is an actual difference between line in and aux in? That's a shame. I can't...

    Bi wiring: 1+2 or 4 channels?

    Hi, I have attached a photo of the back of the amp. I don't own a manual, unfortunately. The speakers are 2 way (http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/support/past-products/silver-rs/rs1/your-speaker). I did remove the jumper. Cheers

    Bi wiring: 1+2 or 4 channels?

    Hey, Thanks for your replies. I know there are no scientific evidence in favor of bi wiring, but I was curious. Honestly, it's not that much of a waste of time nor money - it took me like 3 minutes to plug two spare cables into the speakers. No money wasted, thus, and I can spare 3 minutes...

    Bi wiring: 1+2 or 4 channels?

    Hi, I'm trying to bi wire my speakers. My amplifier has 4 speaker outputs: channel 1 left and right, and channel 2 left and right. I have plugged in 2 cables to each speaker (channel 1 and 2 left to the left speaker, and channel 1 and 2 right to the right speakers). Now, the amplifier has...

    Connecting a B&W ASW 675 to mixer and integrated amp

    I would appreciate if somebody could help me out here. I guess the question comes down to "can I plug a subwoofer into my amp's aux input?". Yes or no? Cheers /bruno

    Connecting a B&W ASW 675 to mixer and integrated amp

    Hey, I have this old B&W ASW 675 subwoofer which I'd like to connect to my stereo. My stereo consists of 2 Technics 1200 turntables, an Ecler 2-channel dj mixer and an old 80's Rotel RA 612 integrated amplifier. The sub only has line in and line out connections, and is thus not made for use...

    Amplifier picking up radio signals

    Hi, I have a pretty weird thing happening to this old Rotel RA-612 amplifier I found in a second hand store: it occasionally picks up the walkie talkies (or whatever they are) that taxi drivers use to talk with each other. Quite disturbing when it happens, I assure you. The housing of the...

    Non-boomy bass!

    Thanks for your input. Yes, I guess I have to do something about my room acoustics. So, it doesn't really make any substantial difference to have a speaker with rear bass reflex mounted close to the wall? Front or rear bass reflex port isn't a thing to really take in consideration? If I could...

    Non-boomy bass!

    Hi! I need to buy new speakers, and I could very much use some advice from more expert people. I had planned to spend around 400-700 euros, and I will need to be able to wall mount them (with brackets, so I guess they would be around 10 centimeters out from the wall). My room is around 25...

    Wall Mounted Speakers

    Hi, If I were to mount my speakers (B&W 685) on the wall, at which height should I place them? I mostly listen to music seated, but obviously not all the time, so I'd like to have a rather flexible listening area, so to say. I know that the tweeters optimally should be at ear level, but I...
