Reviving this thread since I have a similar question. I have a *Energy S8.3 Subwoofer*, specs here: http://www.energy-speakers.com/v2/products/product-page.php?id=40, basically it has a *RCA Mono Sub In* and a *High-Level Input*
I would like to use it with a PreAmplifier/Amplifier *Zpre2/Zamp v3* combo, someway connecting the *Sub* to the *Zamp v3*. After reading and investigating around, my question arises because I think there are 3 possible ways to connect the *Sub* to the *Zamp v3* (pic of *Zamp v3* here: http://www.parasound.com/img/zcustom/zampv3_rear_big.jpg ) : 1. From the *Speaker terminals* on the *Zamp* to the *High-Level Inputs* on the *Sub*. 2. From the *Loop Jacks* on the *Zamp* to the *RCA Mono Sub In* on the *Sub* (using either a *Y connector* or *Stereo-to-mono summing cable* to pair the *Loop Jacks* on the *Zamp*) 3. Connecting just a single *RCA Mono cable* from either one of the Left or Right *Loop Jacks* on the *Zamp* to the *RCA Mono Sub In* on the *Sub*. My preferred way would be to connect it the -number 2- way, but I'm now thinking about it, after reading the reasons for not using a Y cable: http://www.rane.com/note109.html . I've read of how to make a summing cable on the schematics from here: http://www.thewulph.com/Projects/monosum1.htm, but is using a headphone type cable, so I don't know how a RCA cable would be made. There is the -number 1- way too, but I don't know if the *Speakers terminals* on the *Zamp* would be able to handle the *Sub*. As for the -number 3- way, in this thread is the first time I've read about it. So what would the best way to connect it?, any suggestions?, or there is no way to connect it? -- pichonCalavera *rip* (eac) > *convert* (flac) > *tag* (musicbrainz/mp3tag) > *normalize* (replaygain/foobar2000) > *albumart* (www) > *transport* (winscp) > *store* (debian) > *rescan* (squeezecenter) > *play* (squeezebox) > *mix* (musicip) > *listen* (sennheiser) > *scrooble* (last.fm) > *enjoy* (me :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pichonCalavera's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13068 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37729 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
