Hook up to your main out, then crawl around on the floor (and listen for the best sound from the sub) to try and integrate the sub(s) with the Katans. I love those speakers. I wouldn't connect to your Aktiv amp since running Aktiv is marrying the amp to the drivers. I may be wrong, but it's not worth taking chances. Maybe try [email protected] Best of luck.
Integrating REL sub in to Linn aktiv system
I need to integrate my REL sub into a Linn aktiv amp set. From what I can tell there are three ways I can do it and I was wondering if anyone had a similar situation and how they resolved it:
1. Use the recommended REL neutrik cable to connect the sub to one of the bass aktiv amplifier speaker sets. The potential problem I see with this is that the sub is now connected to an amplifier that has been set for a very specific speaker set; in this case Linn Katan monitors. I would need to attach LINN BFA plugs to the end of the neutrik cable.
2. Use the REL RCA connection to run a line from one of my pre-amp outs. This would by pass the amps situation completely but now means that the sub is not �in theory� receiving the exact same signal as the monitors making for harder integration.
3. Use the REL RCA connection to run a line from the bass amplifier RCA connection out, effectively daisy chaining the REL sub amp into the Linn amplifier chain.
Thanks
