I'm still very new to the audio world so any help would be greatly appreciated! If there's any part of my setup plan that'd degrade audio quality, do you think you could point it out and suggest a better way of accomplishing the same thing? Okay...
1. My audio source is the Creative X-fi Xtreme Audio:
I experience no noise with the card, but I still worry if it's good enough. I'm troubled by the fact that Creative's site won't list the card's frequency response because they do list the frequency responses of other cards. Is this card okay, or should I get something else? Anyways...
2. I'm hooking up a pair of KRK VXT 6 to the sound card with a TRS to RCA converter to a stereo rca 3.5mm converter.
I worry that all the adapters I'm going through might cause some signal loss or something. Is my fear stupid or is it something I was right in worrying about? I've also heard something about balanced/unbalanced. I don't
even know what that is. D;
3. I plan on getting a Dayton Sub-120 HT Series 12
I've heard good things about this subwoofer, but should I save up and get something better? I don't want to compromise with price/quality. I'd rather just save up for a little longer and get something better if it's not a good subwoofer, but if it's good, then great...
I don't know how to integrate it into my existing system, though. Would the following work? I plan on hooking the subwoofer to my soundcard with a stereo rca to stereo 3.5mm converter. Then I think of doing the following in my windows settings:
And then something like this in my sound card's software thing:
Would that work or would I have to do something else?
Hmmm...I think that's all for now.
Thank you so much for reading this! : D
