Using the Master/Slave feature of Dynaudio subwoofers ...

15 FINDING THE OPTIMAL SETTINGS Multiple subwoofers.

16 FINDING OPTIMAL SETTINGS frequency response; see fig. 13. In the same manner , with the cross-over frequency for the main speakers set too low (cross-over freq. for the subwoofer too high), there will be too much of an overlap between subwoofer and main speakers, again resulting in incorrect overall frequency response; see fig. 14. Correct setti ...

17 FINDING OPTIMAL SETTINGS • Listen carefully to the bass-line played by the instrument. As it goes up and down in the bass range, the overall bass volume should remain the same, be it with very deep or higher bass notes. Particularly with very small main speakers, it may be that you can hear a "hole" in the bass response: Y ou can hea ...
