Deang Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 They say you flip the switch on the back of the sub and the setting that sounds the 'loudest' is the proper setting -- -- but what if you can't really tell? ------------------ dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 If you have a test CD(with some sub bass)or a music CD with a trach that contains very deep and sustained bass use it. Just pop the CD in the player,press play and now punp up the volume a bit(if you have a reciever set the mains to FULL RANGE). Sit down in your listening chair and listen.Now Flip the switch to 180 and listen again.More bass or less? If your sub has a dial from 0-180 set it to 180.Hear any more bass? The way I test is simple 1)set all speakers to full range 2)set the sub phase to 0 3)pop in a test cd and put a 60Hz test tone on repeat (since the speakers are still very strong at 60Hz I will know when the sub and speakers start to cancel each other) 4)listen to the 60Hz test tone with speakers set to full and sub phase to 0 5)now set the sub phase to 180,listen again 6)set the phase where response at 60Hz is most powerful (since I have multi sub configurations once the master sub is dialed in I turn the power amp off and listen only to the master sub with the second sub,when they work as one I set the third from the master sub.When all subs work as one and not against each other I power back the amp and adjust the master sub output to match the mains and VOILA) EASY NO?
