How do you use a sub with active speakers


I feel dumb about this one. I'm playing with a pair of Quad 12L Actives. I normally connect my REL sub using the high-level method from the amp's speaker terminals, but the amp is no longer in the system. The Quads are connected from the preamp's balanced outs. Do I use the preamp's unbalanced outs, via a Y adapter, to feed a mono preamp signal to the REL's low-level input? Are there other options?

You might want to search these threads for "Velodyne SMS-1". I've commented pretty extensively on this device which will provide a (IMHO very effective) solution for your problem.

Good Luck
