Do you think you need a subwoofer?

Dear Darkmoebius: You can try the CD from the original soundtrack film: Sneakers. REL suggest to use it in the four track for test the subs room integration.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Hi Raul,

I just burned RealTraps Test Tone CD onto a blank cd and have been playing with it for an hour or so.

It's amazing how much output jumps on in the frequencies where there are room modes. Fells like 5x the volume or more.

Dear Darkmoebius: It looks great. I will try this week-end ( if I can ).

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Raul and others,

I ran into a thread on avtalk.co.uk specifically about using the high-pass filter in the Velodyne DD series:
http://www.avtalk.co.uk/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=11392&start=0&rid=0&SQ=0

In this thread, it is observed that the phase of the signal that is passed beyond the high pass filter is quite variable. There is a chart here where someone with a DD18 created to demonstrate this. The poster then goes on to recommend not using the high-pass filter on the Velodyne DD series. Raul and others - do you feel as though these phase variations are a major problem? Minor problem?

Thanks for sharing thoughts

Todd

Dear Todd: I think that the man with the Dynaudio speakers have or a room's problem or a Velodyne High-pass filter problem in his sub.

A high-pass filter is a very simple design subject, there is no " high technology " here or " genius " know-how.

If, like the people of Velodyne say, the high-pass filter of the DD series is the same than in the HGS series: don't worried about, is a good one. Btw, don't worried about that specific phase issue on that thread.

Stay calm.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
