Re: Sub Phase Effect


Hi CDN!

I think this is a typical problem for subs placed apart (i.e not colocated). There are always tradeoffs. I have 2 subs and when I separate them, I have to chose between increase in bass below 40 Hz and cancellation above, or vice versa.

For your case, I think if you have the sub in a corner, or far from speakers, you may try/consider placing it between speakers, or just below/behind screen.

To decrease this effect, set your speakers to small, you may also chose a higher speakers crossover (I think you are running them as large).

Anyway, with movies, this effect should not be so important, as the LFE channel has much more bass than what's sent to the fronts.

Only one thing for me is sure.... you need a BFD!! By the way, I also prefer the 180o setting.
