Subwoofers going into standby with low volume listening (New Integrated Amplifier).
But dually concerning is that even when I crank up the volume on the subwoofer, they sound extremely tame and subdued.It sounds like the volume controls on the subs are set too low. This will help them sound less subdued and also stay on more. BTW unless they are aligned well with your main speakers, keep the crossover point well below 80Hz. Otherwise they will attract attention to themselves. If they seem anemic, try moving them closer to a wall. The room boundary effect will give you about a 3dB per octave boost. If you have them against the wall, for that reason they may become boomy. |
@atmasphere I have one sub in the exact same spot it was with my old system (didn't have this issue), also volume is cranked to max just to even hear anything from the sub. What I'm doing different... I am running a single RCA off the R out of the pre out of the amp to the right sub, and a single RCA off the L out of the pre out to the left sub. I have a Y splitter to then plug the single RCA into both my R/L line In inputs on the subwoofer. Should I ditch the Y splitter (not use the line inputs) and just run the single RCA to each sub's LFE port, setting the crossover to "LFE" on the subs? I wanted stereo subs and thought LFE connections were for surround sound receivers with single RCA "sub out" ports and would not be stereo? Someone suggested that using only a single side of the amp preout (R or L) sent to each sub might cut the power in half being fed to the sub, and might be causing the standby mode issues and low volume. That a possibility? |
You put a left and right signal into a left and right signal. Put the left into the left NOT the right too. You need to send the left and right signal to the plate, not a single wire and split it. The bass has a left, right (and center mix sometimes). Have you tried both left and right from the pre out to a single sub plate? If that works split the signal at the pre out and get a second L,R dual RCA. Use your splitters at the pre out and split the L,R. That is how I do it anyways. LTE is different, a single cable in from a LTE signal can really make a difference. usually there is a 20-40hz bump (shelf) but you have to plug into the correct side and sometimes there is a switch. Just thinkin' Regards |
Did you check if the pre-out of the
Technics SU-R1000
is enabled? https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2016995/Technics-Su-R1000.html?page=21 |
