Re: Mono "flanking sub"
You can always provide equalization to fine-tune the response. That sometimes offers additional improvement. But the biggest advantage is from summing of multiple sound sources, which smoothes the sound field using dense interference. That's the point...

Re: Mono "flanking sub"
Hi Wayne, thanks for the comments. The flanking sub is directly below the right hand speaker, so only a couple of feet away in one direction as its down firing, there both very close to the wall. Like this: I would move it to be between the stereo...

Re: Mono "flanking sub"
Self-interference notches are from room reflections. The speakers measure flat outdoors. The whole concept of multisubs - which flanking-subs are a specialized type - is to create dense interference that smoothes the average sound field. This requir...

Re: Mono "flanking sub"
I see, maybe the gain is to high? But I understand it maybe needed? That's another area multiple subs help.

Re: Mono "flanking sub"
I use a plate amp that is attached to the sub itself. I tend to prefer it set at 50hZ, which many find too low. I believe the crossover (low pass 50 to 100hZ)slope is 12db. I use no eq. I come from a mindset/point of view where, you try to fix the...

Re: Software for optimizing multi sub parameters
Where are your subs located in the room? What kind of subs are they? Is their anechoic amplitude response pretty flat? Is the SPL of each approximately the same? I ask these things because I usually see smoother response as long as the subs aren't ...

Software for optimizing multi sub parameters
I'm finishing up on a project: - Above modal region a waveguide (dayton 10inch) / 10inch woofer combination for controlled directivity - 1st order cardiod radation in the transition zone by using a damped u frame - multi sub (4) for the modal region (...

Re: 4Pi without subwoofer
Multiple subs - both flanking subs and distributed subs - improve sound quality for any loudspeaker setup. The multisub approach smoothes room modes. See the "Room Effects and Loudspeaker Interactions" section of the π Speakers FAQ for more i...

The most optimal placement for a single sub
Hey Wayne! How are you liking Arkansas? I'm still planning on getting a stereo pair of 4 Pi speakers, plus a pair of 2 pi speakers. I'm torn about what to do about bass. I like the multisub idea in theory, but it would be nice to have one mega ...

Re: How to improve?
I agree with the comments already provided. Constant directivity cornerhorns benefit from multisub installations just as much as any other loudspeaker configuration. There is some debate as to what individual loudspeaker configurations are least sensit...
