Subwoofer bass rolloff
I have a large listening room which needs several sub-woofers to give
adequate bass. I am only interested in the range above about 32 hz. When I play some recordings with organ that have strong output below 32 hz, the woofers give signs of distress. What is the best way to reduce the input to the subs below 32 hz? -MIKE |

Try a Paradigm X-30 a cheap but good active crossover.

I went to the Paradigm web site to get more information but when I tried
to enter, I kept getting the original page back. Actually. I was looking for a "cheaper" solution like a series capacitor or network. -MIKE |

... The subwoofer that "complains" is a Definitive Technology 15", 250 Watt unit. To get decent response in the range above 32hz, it is turned up too much for the occasional "blasts" below 32hz. Afford a large listening room? My home is a log home 22' X 30'. The main section is one room with an 18' cathedral ceiling and the bedrooms and bathroom are in the foundation. It is hardly a luxury home. All I am looking for is a way to REDUCE the response below 32hz. -MIKE There's no reason to reduce it. Organ music can reach down well below 32 Hz so why filter it out? Unless Defintive Technology is using a very poor quality driver you should have no worry about damage to the subwoofer's driver, unless you really have the volume cranked. What kind of distress do you mean? Distortion or lots of cone movement? In the former you either are playing it so loud that you are generating distorion from the amp or there may be some problem with the sub's amp. In the latter deep bass does indeed make the cone move a lot. |
