Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?


I sort of do. I see my woofers moving due to ultra low frequency signal when I play certain LPs. Doesn't affect the sound, but I don't like it. Anyone have a solution for rumble, since modern preamps no longer seem to have subsonic filters? Scoutmaster on a Gingko Cloud 10 on a solid rack on a cement floor, is what I have.

A good rumble filter will attenuate differential signal, which is vertical groove modulation, without affecting horizontal modulation. If you have a single subwoofer (or two) driven in mono (mixed Left and Right) this will solve your problem. I bet you could Google "rumble filter" and find a diy kit.
By the way, the pumping of your woofer cones does affect the sound although you may be used to it and not notice.
I have KAB's rumble filter ($170) and it completely solved my problem. At first I didn't understand why my woofers were going nuts, then once I finally learned what the problem was, I was able to get a separate rumble filter and life is good.

Dear 240zracer: The Eldartford suggestion: run the subwoofer in mono way is really the best one because you don't have to add any other " stage " ( rumble filter ) to the signal.

Like Eldartford already posted the pumping in your woofer cones are adding intermodulation distortion and certainly makes a degradation to the signal reproduction.

Regards and enjoy the music.
