Re: BFD Connection Question


Quote:
I will hook up the BDF on the pre-out (main L+R) NOT the sub-out because the receiver does´nt activate the sub-out in Direct Source which sounds so much better.
You will have to use a Y-splitter so as not to pass your mains signal through the BFD (which would have a negative effect)
Then you will have to create a crossover for the sub with the BFD filters before doing any equalizing.

So, this make me not be able to adjust the input signal to the BDF? How will it affect by doing like this?
The signal level going to the BFD will be the same as going to your mains amplifier. It would be nice to have a bit of trim control there, but nothing you can do about that.

The bass information are as you know very "up and down" in velocity depending on the source... Do you think it can work? Receiver-->Preamp-->BDF-->Active Sub
So your idea is to use a passive pre-amp (basically an attenuator) to lower the signal level feeding the BFD if it's too high? Why not just turn the sub up and down? Is it a matter of convenience?
