Classe Sigma SSP and Rel S3 connection issue

Did anyone out there have any issue with connecting the Classe Sigma SSP and Rel S3 subwoofer using both .1 LFE and Rel high level speaker connection at the same time. I have an issue using this connection as recommend by Rel and configure the front left and right speaker to "full". When I did it this way, I lost all mid bass when watching 5.1 movie.

Roomeq wizard and an spl meter should put you in the right direction to calibrate the ssp

Hi I just brought an Svs sub and hoping that it will improve my movie bass performance. Can u tell me how is your ssp setting for watching movie. What is your cross over setting for each 5.1 speakers? Did u enable Ebass? Did u connect the sub out to the Svs LFE input? Did u set the Svs cross over to LFE (disable)? I have my front and center set as 60hz, surrounds at 80, cross over at Svs to LFE, and no ebass, but the sound is still not toy expection, thanks for your help.

#1 Tbh Give ed a call, or me as well and we can check everything.. which SVS...as they are monsters..as far SVS config, and did you use an SPL meter to set the SVS up, I ended up using hot gain and adjusting my sub level with the SSP... I have FULL Range Mains, and still keep ebass off and cross as low as possible to them.

#1 MAKE SURE You set the delay settings with a tape measure


(These are off the top of my head but)
Well for my mains, Crossing over at 40hz, Center, Surrounds at 60, 12db per octave not 24db Per octave

Start with no mains, use REW and a microphone and get a sweep of your room... be sure to set the subwoofer delay first..(with a tape measure)...

I would gladly Demo in Naples Fl, no lack of low bass in my room at all.

I will be around today, we can go thru it.

#1 Subwoofer Placement
#2 Rew and Sweeps to tell what the sub is actually doing in room
#3 Amp Gain and SSP LFE Level
#4 subwoofer delay
But everything is set small for me...
Center, surrounds at 60, 12db per octave

Oh and the test tones on the SSP are relative to the volume you have on the processor, you will want to be at 00 for level matching.

Then lets make sure the source is actually outputting 5.1 or 7.1 without downmixing, the processor does say 5.2.1 correct Dolby Digital or Truehd.... Not Pcm and the mode is set to discrete right.

What is the source feeding the system for movies and is it over optical, hdmi, coax, and is it set to bitstream out ?
