In this configuration the subwoofer is used to reproduce both the
subwoofer channel and the deep bass portion of the left and right
channels and achieves near-perfect blending of the main channel
bass with the main speakers.
Tell the processor the main speakers are large, even if they are not.
This configuration can be ideal if the main speakers play loudly
enough. It’s also perfect for audio systems where the subwoofer is
used to extend the bass range.
Connecting the SmartSub Integrator between the processor and the
main speaker power amp allows the Integrator to be used in
crossover mode so that bass can be kept from the main speakers
and reproduced by the subwoofer instead. This usually allows the
main speakers to play more loudly than otherwise so that the bass
range
and
the output of the system are enhanced.
Tell the processor the main speakers are large, even if they are not.
Integrator Augment Configuration Integrator Crossover Configuration
3 The SmartSub Integrator in augment configuration
should be used if a passive crossover is not available
for your main speakers, you desire adjustability of the main
channel bass level or extension, or if you desire more than
one subwoofer in your system, or two stereo subwoofers.
4 If your main speakers do not play sufficiently loudly
due to bass overloading, then the Integrator should
be used in crossover mode to allow the transfer of low
frequency energy from the main speakers and into the
subwoofer.
