 Well, it certainly will allow you more headroom in the BFD, because it changes the operating level to +4dBu. Will you be able to supply a strong enough signal in this mode though? |
I am not sure. Obviously, I have up to +10dB of range on my sub out. Also, I could dial the mains and other speakers back by up to 10dB. This would result in a signal up to 20dB stronger at a given volume.
I have a concern with this. What happens when listening at quiet SPLs. Do you lose bass entirely if the bass content is low level? I don't think this makes sense at all. It must an issue of whether my receiver can kick out the higher line level signal during heavy bass scenes, right? I have an H/K AVR235. My loud listening level for me is -20dB on a -80 to 10dB scale. H/K's tend to have decent power supplies, so I suspect it is up to the task...
Any concern with standard guitar cable style interconnects at this higher operating level?
I suppose a level shifter for after the BFD is another option?
I guess I will have to do some testing...
Thanks,
