Hi there.
I’m thinking of investing in a Sub G3 to go with my Amp and a really decent little pair of passive speakers, but it’s quite an expensive upgrade. As I use the system a lot it might be justified, provided that the output to the passive speakers is high-passed. This would enable not only bass extension, but allow the stand-mounted passive speakers to reproduce just the mids and treble and to benefit from a less bassy input signal and hopefully even better, sweeter clarity.
I know that the Sub controller can set various crossover frequencies such that the Sub can be used with say, large floorstanding speakers and to reproduce frequencies below 60Hz, or with smaller ‘bookshelf’/stand-mount speakers where a crossover of perhaps 80-100Hz might be more appropriate (so the sub kicks in below that).
...But is the output from the Amp to the passive speakers then high-passed accordingly - which the word crossover implies (which is what I want) - or is it full-range to the speakers (albeit low-passing to the Sub), and not high-passed to the speakers (so might not result in the best clarity)?
I can’t tell from the online literature for the Sub G3 and my stockist doesn’t know (without conducting experiments), so does anyone know, please? Thanks in advance.
