Hi Chris… I am looking at adding a pair of F12s to my dedicated 2 channel system and am curious about the wireless hookup configuration. How does this work with 2 subs and can you adjust each independently? Two transmitters, one transmitter? How do you config each sub for the L or R channel not summed to mono?
Thanks in advance. MDHDGH
One transmitter can feed many subs. Put them both in pairing mode and then turn on the transmitter, it will connect to both. If it fails for any reason, you can reset the transmitter by holding the button for 15 seconds and then it starts the pairing process again.
They are summed mono in the transmitter. This is generally preferable if you want to mitigate room modes (to have a mono signal). If you want to run stereo, wireless, we have had one of our most prolific customers try out multiple transmitter and running two (one transmitter to each sub) and this also worked though I haven’t tested this personally an looked at wifi contention issue s or any potential issues.
Thanks Chris, I greatly appreciate the info. Here is what I’m trying to accomplish. My room is 16.5’x23’x9’ tall and I have full range custom horn speakers by Joseph Crowe (Canada). The base horns are flat to 38Hz but do roll off quickly by 30Hz… and yes they have a really large footprint. I like them quite a lot HOWEVER my wife is an 80’s rocker and wants/needs more umph in the 20-40Hz range for her crazy concert level AC/DC nights. Thus, I am looking to add a sub or subs but don’t want to muddy the system and am considering the F12s as one of the options. The horn base is crazy fast, dynamic, and tuneful. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Output from a pair of F12 should be enough for most systems but one of the addictive things on big horn systems is the near unlimited dynamic headroom and punch while still sounding clean and composed (even if not always “relaxed”).
For maximum output, collocate a pair of subs in a single corner. This will excite the modes the most though so, try to dial it in with EQ and see what you think and only move a sub away from there or add another sub if you’re finding too much response variation or issues seat to seat.
Spreading the subs throughout the room can fix this but sacrifices a lot of maximum output relative to colocating them. This is where multiple stacks of subs is the ultimate approach and a modular system is nice.
