My S120PII sub has in and out jacks for a "BassQ" module, but no mention of how they would be used. There's also no mention in the BassQ manual on using such a connection, so I guess it was an idea that did not come to fruition?
I don't think it would work in my set-up. I only see 2 inputs. Mono Left for LFE or L/R for stereo. I would need 3 inputs one for LFE and Stereo L/R. I don't see a work around for that in the manual. Sure it can run 4 subs but it look like it's 2 left and 2 right. Am I missing something??
Rob:)
subs can go any where, left and right are only designations
if you have rectangular room and 2 or 4 sub there is very good chance of getting very good results just with positioning the subs correctly
but if you have a opening or room constrictions or asymmetric the bassQ will offer very good results for a determined area in the room, this is the normal case
very few people have dedicated rooms
I think you are missing the point. I have dedicated Left/Right and LFE subs. When I run 2 channel the L/R are on. For DVD/HT I add an LFE channel. The module can have up to 4 subwoofers all optimized for the room. The problem I see is a maximum of only 2 inputs. You either run Mono or L/R. That won't work for me. I need to have 3 seperate input channels that can be ran through the DSP. It's not the number of subs it's the number of available input channels.Quote:

corrected
C'mon, Rob, why create a problem where there is none? Just buy two units. :pQuote:

Of curse purist argument otherwise but scientifically at this moment that's what has been found.
Unless a frequency (Spectrumlab) waterfall proves it otherwise.:DQuote:

So what is the cost of this product I’m interested in new gadgets which is what this is.
So does this also replace the dbx 4800 LOL or even cheap Behringer DCX2496 LOL I get the strong feeling this can be handled in different direction with equal satisfactory results.
Come on Rob, where the little picture show, you know we all like a little peek.Quote:

I’ll soon move the pc into the bedroom and pace 42 inches of false walling where the pc is next to the living room door and see if that tackles or makes any bass sense with few frequency REW sweeps.
Blimey this long manual by the looks of it reading though it now.

Well almost finished reading the (introduction specifications features) and there is one thing I’m starting to twig onto and that’s (the minimal phase) issue that is troublesome for most I sure.
Two Listening Curves
Two different playback curves have been
implemented to better match the type of
playback material. Cinema mode closely
follows the standard for playback curves
used in commercial cinemas and scoring
stages. This will allow the system to
closely match the experience of the
directors and producers of popular films
and TV shows. Music mode is a gentler
playback curve that better mimics the
frequency response in most music
production studios.
Well I think most of us sucker’s for this two curves hmm.:D
Problem: Audible hum from the speakers.
1. Check the power outlets and make
sure that there is a solid earth
ground present. (The services of an
electrician may be required.)
2. Make sure that all signal cables are
routed away from power cords.
3. If these suggestions fail, experiment
by running ground wires between
the rear-panel screws of the JBL
BassQ processors and the other
system components, such as the
surround processor or signal processing
package.
Well that’s thing I’ve been applying for a few years and it seems to work on the elusive Mr. Electronic Gremlin humming on your sound system.
