zuzu Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Where do you make this setting? Is it on the DD-12 unit itself? I dont see it in the SMS. I have no such option on mt pre amp [ARC SP-11 vintage 1985] If I have no place to set it what does it by default end up being? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Typically the large/small setting is in the receiver. That's how it knows what to set the crossover at and what should go to the sub. If you don't have a "sub out" on your receiver (preamp) then you do not have this setting available. This is normally found on modern receivers.

zuzu Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 From what I have been reading, this sub out on the newer receivers is a single cable out not a L/R out. Is that correct? BTW, what does XLR stand for/mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Correct, its often called an LFE (low frequency effects) output. I'm not sure what XLR stands for but it uses a 3 prong connector and generally works much better than RCA cables do for very long runs as far as having less signal loss.

Arky Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 XLR is a balanced cable I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuzu Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Thanks. My unit does not mention balanced [25 year old ARC SP-11] support and all the jacks are RCA. I see the blue jean balanced cables hae three pins, one male and female on the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
