Hi all,
I've decided to go with the Behringer DCX2496 to do the sub EQ/delay/phase adjustments as I add a subwoofer to the 2-channel system in my home office. It's overkill for just the subwoofer, but it gives me the future expansion capability to bi-amp my main speakers - something I've been wanting to do for a long time.
I'm using 2-channel, non-home-theater gear. I'm planning on running the DCX in the pre-out/power-in loop on my integrated amp. I'll run one output to the sub, and two more to the poweramp inputs to drive the main speakers.
The outputs on the DCX are at pro levels, I've read that I should attenuate those by about 20db to get them back to consumer levels. I have some XLR to phono adaptors with some room in the shell to hold resistors, so my question is:
What value resistors should I use, and what topology? (One resistor in series, 5 in an H-pad, or something else?)
(BTW - I had some fun last weekend playing with REW and getting a baseline
reading on the room before I start adding treatments, EQ, etc. Extremely cool
software! I'll post some graphs when I am done.)
Best regards,
Ron
