@carlsbad2 while I get what you're going for, unfortunately, high-level input is implies that the loudspeakers are not high-pass filtered, which is part of the main goal here. Thanks anyway, though!

Somebody Please Make This Already...
Imagine an interesting new product: Two sets of analog inputs (when I say sets, I mean each set has single-ended and also balanced), one volume attenuator that controls output synchronously BY WAY OF TWO SETS OF SYNCHRONIZED RESISTOR LADDERS (analog-domain attenuation, not digital) between the two sets of inputs, and then matched sets of outputs (again, both, single-ended and balanced). The entire device should be active, so that if you use single-ended input, it can still output a balanced, differential signal after the volume control, and on the output end there should be an option to combine L/R signals into a single signal (like an LFE output).
Even better yet, we should allow adjustable high-pass filter on the first set of in/outputs and an adjustable low-pass filter on the second set of in/outputs. Slope and frequency should both be adjustable. And of course both filters can be separately bypassed.
The unit should also have a single 12V trigger input and three 12V trigger outputs, and it should have a remote control that can control volume, filter slopes and filter frequencies.

@eddnog We looked at something like this but the simple fact is to do bass management properly you start with a distributed bass array; four subs placed asymmetrically so to break up standing waves and thus have flat bass response everywhere in the room. At that point you really don't need much for bass management other than a subwoofer amp which has its crossover, phase and level all in the same box. IOW if you do the bass right, you don't need a product like this. |
