Re: BFD L & R engine as presets?


Sorry I'll clarify.

Some people (the mate I'm asking this on behalf of) have high quality 2 channel hifi. To maintain the quality of their stereo playback AND have 5.1 surround they power their center, surround left & surround right speakers from the AV amp, but take the front left & right output from the pre outs of their AV amp and feed it into a spare input on their stereo amp - treating it as a power amp for the purposes of AV.

The friend in question is looking into a BK Monolith DF sub (see Ilkka's test), but the problem is that it has high & low level inputs, high & low level gain controls, but only one crossover control. To save faffing around with the crossover control (and because he should be EQing anyway with a sub this size) I was wondering if the BFD as well as being used in the normal AV way, could use the spare engine to take a full range signal from the pre out of the stereo amp and then set up a set of filters on the spare engine. He'd then have an AV preset on one channel and another preset on the other channel.

Hope that's clearer, but your answer answers my question anyway.

Many Thanks

Russell
