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.

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.

Couple of things guys. This is a three-way stereo speaker, not a subwoofer. I just looked at the KAB. It turns everything below 180Hz to a mono signal. Seems like a rumble filter should only operate from about 18Hz down like the ones on my old integrated amps used to do.
I was going to add a high-pass filter at 18Hz to my woofer crossovers, but that passive method requires some very large caps and inductors. Might have to revisit that. Also noticed the Bellari phono preamp has a rumble filter. Pretty nice feature on an inexpensive unit.
Some phono preamps have them built in. I am running a Sim Audio LP 5.3. The filter is engaged with a jumper.
