On a related note, anyone has direct experience how these 'wireless" subwoofers sound as compared to the 'wired' models? I assume the importance of the impedance matching between the preamp output and the plate amplifier still applies. The concept can definitely address some general room placement issues associated with wiring and cabling.
How do wireless subwoofers do this?
I love the idea of adding one or more subs like the Syzygy ones to my system but I'm confused as how it would work.
As I understand it you hook a wireless transmitter via RCA cables connected to your preamp outs. Then the signal is transmitted wirelessly to your sub, some of which even have DSP room correction. All good so far.
Here's what I don't get.
Say your speakers go done to 35hz, and typically the subs suggest setting the crossover around 120 or 80hz.
Doesn't this mean there is an overlap of what the subwoofers are covering and what your speakers are covering so both your speakers and sub are producing any music below 120 or 100? Doesn't this cause distortion?
Or does the DSP function solve this, so the sub is only functioning below your speakers?
