Classe Sigma SSP and Rel S3 connection issue

#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 ?

I also I spoke to Ed from Svs, Give him an email as well if you have any questions on the sub / setup beyond my SSP tips.

Hi thank u for your reply. I brought the Svs sb2000. Finally I got to the right setting and sub placement now. I set my front and center to 60 hz, surrounds at 80hz. LFE connect to Svs. Now the movie sounds a lot better than using the Rel S3 sub. I can’t believe it is almost day and night. The Rel is good with stereo music but no way for home theater. The Svs sb2000 is like $1200 cheaper than the Rel S3, and it is fantastic and with tight bass. I appreciate all your help, if u can give me a quick procedure on how to use the REQ, that would be wonderful. Thanks again.
