Will that configuration really make a big difference?@rlb61 Did you notice a difference in the mains between not having the sub hooked up and all, and having it connected but its volume turned all the way down? If there is no difference then your RCA output is buffered from the balanced out and the ISO MAX isn't needed. If there is a difference then this is the solution.
Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer?
I'm putting my system together for the first time in a new space with a new to me preamp and new speakers.
Signal Chain:
TT/Streamer
McIntosh C220
McIntosh MC7270
Ohm Walsh 4.4012
The 7270 does not offer balanced inputs.
The Ohms have active subs which offer balanced input.
The C220 has only one Balanced output for the Main Output.
Is there any harm in using the main XLR output to send signal to the subwoofers, and using the 1, or 2 RCA output to send signal to the main drivers?
Thoughts?
Thanks
