controller: coleman? atty? sub? dunno, it's wise to go with a sub that forms a coherent pair with your adams. therefore: adam sub? I assume there is some filtering in the sub itself. |

After a certain amount of trial and error and fair bit of thinking about it, I decided to run a sub on a parallel send, with my monitors still running full frequency. I often leave the sub off except when tracking and then late in a mix. The subwoofer has a LP filter on it, of course, and I set that pretty low and the volume pretty low, but it does let me know what's going on down there. I use a B&W subwoofer, which is fine. The matched sub for my dynaudios seemed ridiculously expensive. |

If you run the nearfields in full range mode, when using the sub, never mind if the sub has lowpass filtering, there is overlapping bass from different sources, with maybe different phase, which could result in overlapping and cancelling basstones. furthermore you don't use your nearfields to their full potential, because they are doing the job in the low frequencies that the sub is also doing...... so a sub or nearfields with a frequency splitter would be nifty.
