Re: flanking subs with small mains
Keep in mind that the flanking sub / helper woofer approach does most of its thing between 80Hz and 200Hz. So if the mains can run to 80Hz, you can run helper woofers like I described and get as much benefit from them as flanking subs that are typically...

Re: flanking subs with small mains
Let me see if I understand you right. This is what I think you are saying:
1. When bass management is used, the sub output is low-passed and the mains are high-passed at the same frequency.
2. You are considering setting this frequency to 60Hz to ...

Re: Buffer for my system?
What you have are distributed multisubs, which will provide extension and modal smoothing below 100Hz. That's a prety good setup, even without flanking subs.
What flanking subs do is to provide smoothing in the 100Hz to 200Hz octave. They work a lit...

Re: Flanking Subs vs Helper Woofers
I'm not sure the use of FIR filters is a significant difference in this case, since there is no need to adjust magnitude and phase independently. I assume that's what was originally on their minds though - They may have chosen that filter approach so th...

Re: Flanking Subs vs Helper Woofers, revisited
You can build what I would describe as a "detatched 2.5-way" speaker. Essentially it is a DI-matched two-way with a second midwoofer in a separate box, physically located as presecribed for flanking subs, i.e. just beside, behind and below the...

Re: Information about the 3 Pi Subwoofer
Those are good questions, thanks for asking.
The three π subwoofer is a good general-purpose subwoofer that covers the 20-200Hz decade. It was designed to be a high-quality subwoofer in a convenient size. It isn't specifically designed to be a flank...

Re: Flanking Subs vs Helper Woofers
I just watched a video of an audio gathering, where several presenters gave talks on one thing or another. One of the presenters was Earl Geddes, who did a talk on multisubs:
SMWTMS Meeting, January 19, 2013 (That's Southeastern Michigan Woofer and...

Re: Tuning below Fs with JBL 2226H?
Lobing from acoustically distance sources is undesirable, that is true. It is to be avoided where possible, and outdoors or in very large areas, you want point source summing, which is accomplished by keeping source locations within 1/4λ, just as you've...

Re: Tuning below Fs with JBL 2226H?
The JBL 2226H is one of my all-time favorite midwoofers. And it is capable of producing subwoofer output too, but it is not optimized for that purpose. Most of the things that make it great - its motor structure with shorting rings, it's highly damped ...
