In Reply to: Surround sound bass managment, analog posted by Jim Cate on June 10, 2002 at 20:30:39:
The "Large/Small" speaker controls (selecting "small" sends low frequencies to the subwoofer instead of the mains; this is what bass managment is) won't work with SACD or DVDA. The cheapest option for Bass Management it to use the crossover in your subwoofer (assuming you have one). This may only cover the Front Left and Right speakers, but I understand most SACD recordings are 2 channel (I don't have one, but this is what I've read).Beyond this, I am aware of only two external Bass Management systems: The Outlaw you mentioned is the less expensive. The other is M&K (check out www.mksound.com).
Follow Ups:
The other reply you received is not correct.Simply selecting "small" for your speaker size is NOT bass managment. This only stops low frequencies from going to your speakers. What you then have is little or no bass at all! The Outlaw unit (B&K makes one also) mixes all the low frequencies that were meant for your speakers and sends them to the subwoofer.If you have full range speakers (those capable of reproducing low frequencies) bass managment is not a problem. If you dont have an SACD or DVD-A player yet you might want to wait. Theres a good bet that the next generation players will have this capability built in.
