Running subwoofer off Dodd preamp

Hi All,

I just purchased a Dodd battery powered preamp. I can't find info for the company to ask them, so I thought I'd ask you all how I would run a subwoofer from it. It has two sets of outputs, and my Martin Logan sub can be run either from preamp or from the speakers. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Russ

Russ, Mr. Dodd passed away recently. Give his good friend Danny Richie a call at GR Research.

I'm so sorry to hear that. The a-gonner I bought the Dodd from mentioned that he had health problems. Seems like he was a real pioneer in our passion. Thanks for the info.

You can run a sub from the second set of pre-outs or from your amplifier outputs.

Swamp is correct.

I have run my ML sub off of the second set of outputs of my Dodd preamp, and I also ran it off my amplifier. I prefer to run the ML off the amp.

Danny Richie and Gary Dodd go way back together, and were actually in the planning stages of a new company together. Danny knows all about the Dodd products, having both a Dodd pre and a pair of big mono amps Gary custom made for him. If you ever need any repairs made to your Dodd pre, Danny can take care of that for you. Plus, he's a really down-to-Earth, nice guy. He's also a speaker/sub designer, so he can advise you on your sub hook-up.
