EAD Bass Management


I am considering buying an EAD 8800Pro but would like to know if the bass management can be employed when using the analogue pass through facility.

Could anyone help? If not, what else should I consider?

Thanks

Bhouser is correct. and right on target!!!! I have a TM8800pro which is among the finest processors available in terms of sonics. I am glad that they do not put the analog pass through through any bass management, because it might impact on its ultra transparency.

I use an Outlaw ICBM to manage bass for my SACD player which is a Modwrights modified DV47a.

And I have 2 Vandersteen 2wq subs for 2 channel that (like the Rel mentioned above) connect to the speaker level outputs of the amp. I like this better for the fronts anyway...because this leads to great blending between the subs and the mains.

I then have a Velodyne sub for LFE coming out of the processor.

I'm listening at the moment to an SACD of Midori playing the Mendelsohn violin concerto. Spectacular recording because the surrounds are utilized for ambience alone....and the center is not overutilized. So much of multichannel depends on the mix....but i'm moving off topic here.

I heard the same, probably from the same little birdie. But it won't affect the pass thru.

Flemke: i think you'll love your Theatermaster 8800pro. The operation IS quite a bit simpler than earlier EAD processors which has mostly advantages and a few minor disadvantages. I've spent lots of time figuring out some of the nuances of the 8800pro. If I can help as you get started setting yours up, simply contact me at [email protected].
