In Reply to: Re: db difference of LFE vs sub hooked via main posted by SamM on May 11, 2001 at 23:54:26:
Sam,I believe the typical operation of most HT processors routes LFE bass to the L&R main speakers if they are specified as Large and Sub=NO is specified.
Do you have any specific examples where this is not the case?
Follow Ups:
Yes, the standard DD setup allows for sub=no or LFE = no, but doing so i have never been able to achieve the rumble out of the main speakers that you achieve by sending the LFE directly to a sub. I have had the same experience with 3 different DD/DTS receivers is have had. I believe that what i happening is that when the sub is set to 'no' then the dynamic range may be compressed to not allow the ultra-lows to be sent to the 'large' speakers.... don't know this for a fact, just my own observations. has anyone here been able to reproduce the rumble with the sub set to no?-Sam
My Toshiba 9200's DVD player's internal AC-3 decoder to its own 5.1 output does not reroute LFE.And from what heard, the Acurus ACT3 w/advanced bass managemnt does not do t on DTS either, but it does w/o the adv bass mgmnt
I did say typically, which means there will be some who didn't take the time or care to implement this feature in the software.Even my extremely inexpensive Technics SH500 DD/DTS processor re-routes LFE.
