Re: sub localizing


yeah, just as an experiment. It's not a major hassle to 'wipe the slate clean' and start again. However, the purpose this time would be quite specific, ONLY have the sub(s) playing, and ONLY below a certain frequency.

By starting low and working your way up the frequency range, there will presumably come a point where the sub becomes localizable. There's your answer to what frequqncy is your cutoff point for being able to localize the sub.

Rattles and rumbles, buzzes etc will probably be easier to ascertain withgout the mains going, and you will be able to better answer the question of whether other audio clues other than pure frequency help localize the sub.

Of course, once you know what's going on, you can then redo your filters for the permanent setup, armed with new knowledge of what's happening.

At the very least your 'guessing game' gets put onto a concrete foundation. Hope that is a bit clearer, I admit my last effort was rather poor!

lots of love
