Full range from CONNECT:AMP's subwoofer output

If it is any consolation - notwithstanding the published spec, I would be surprised if the 685 put out significant energy in the 60-80 hz region. Physics will be a limiting factor. And directionality and stereo imaging largely disappears below 80hz.

On the other hand, I became a convert to Subs for music only after I heard for myself how well the Sonos Sub integrated for music with both a Connect Amp + third party speakers set up and of course, with a play unit set up.

With Sonos Sub and a Connect Amp using Quad 11L, Dali Zensor 1, and KEF Q100 speakers, I played around with crossover settings between 60hz and 110 hz at different times, and I really did not hear much difference across these settings with any of these speaker pairs. There was a noticeable and audible difference when the speakers were changed though.

There's a big difference between a digital software crossover on the sub, and what is most likely an analog hardware crossover on the sub line out.

Hello all,

I would also like the 80hz removed (or on/off option) from the connect:amp if possible for two reasons, firstly I would rather use the on board sub xover and secondly and more annoyingly I noticed that the sonos amplifier itself cuts off bass heading to my main speakers when it senses an RCA plugged into the sub output which I don't want it to do at all as my main speakers provide a fair amount of impact bass themselves.

I'd rather have both the sonos' amplified output and subwoofer output to have no Xover filtering at all if possible since my sub has full parametric eq and crossover and I can iron things out myself.

It seems like maybe a software thing so any time spent looking into this would be greatly appreciated since I cannot use my subwoofer in this way. Shame the stereo line-out disappeared that was on the good old ZP100's.

Thanks in advance!

If your Sub has the provision to accept high level inputs, run wires to it from the speaker terminals of the Connect Amp. The Sub manual should have more details on this recommendation that will provide full signal content to both main speakers and the Sub.

Hi Kumar, unfortunately it doesn't since I'm using a PA amp with full DSP to power the sub but I didn't want to complicate things for the purpose of explaining things in here.

There are high - low converters out there but these are usually designed for the automotive world, the passive ones aren't great and the active ones are rare and expensive.

I suppose it would be a temporary work around though, I just didn't want to start adding unnecessary things in the way of the signal path if possible.

Thanks for the helpful suggestion though!

Whats going on with this? 5 years and waiting???

I think the fact that in over 5 years only 6 people actually requested this feature is explanation enough.

Gotta love the "outrage" posts from the drive-by's. Always entertaining.
