Subwoofer Integration


I have decided to go with the Velodyne DD-12 for my dedicated 2 ch. Setup. I will be running Totem Mani-2 Signatures and a Pre-Amp/Amplifier. My pre-amp obviously does not have a Sub-out and I do not want to crossover my speakers AT ALL. I want my Mani-2’s to play full range like they normally would and just add to the low end with the DD-12. I have a several different options to set up my sub but I don’t know which one would be considered best?

Balanced Direct Inputs – I don’t even know if it is possible to hook up a sub this way? If possible I was thinking maybe this would be the best since the signal would be the purest and when I adjust the treble and bass on my pre-amp the sub will not be affected (less cross-over points) correct me if I am wrong.

Unbalanced Direct Inputs – figure the same thing as above, just not as good a connection.

Or…

Unbalanced Line Level Out on Pre-amplifier

Unbalanced Line Level In on Amplifier

Virtualimage,

Is this the same concept REL uses?

So I should hook my sub up to the Unbalanced Line Level Inputs on my Amplifier
