Using a splitter to feed a subwoofer

- The best way to connect a subwoofer is through its high level input, but what if that's not possible. Is a splitter alright or a big non no? Have a question you want to ask Paul? www.psaudio.com...
I have finished my memoir! You can go read it now: www.amazon.com... It's called 99% True and it is chock full of adventures, debauchery, struggles, heartwarming stories, triumphs and failures, great belly laughs, and a peek inside the high-end audio industry you've never known before.
I plan a few surprises for early adopters, so go to www.paulmcgowa... and add your name to the list of interested readers. There's an entire gallery of never before seen photos too.
Ironically, the audio in this video is garbled in several sections. Great topic and comments.
Jeremy he was using a spitter

generally when that happens the battery is running low and needs charged.
Got to ❤ a guy that enjoys his job as much as he does. Keep it up.
It is a "Yes Yes".. haha.. Good stuff. I just stumbled across this page and I'm binge learning. Thanks for the great content‼
Come on people.
Paul has 1 video in 100 that has an audio issue and you hate all over him. You should be grateful for what Paul does for the audio community and not slam him. And if you do, you should be embarrassed and ashamed.
I think Ethan Winer hacked you, and sabotaged this audio track
Bob Jordan 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Bob Jordan 😂🤣👍👍
Man... i watched this whole video, and it answered my question and randomly made me smile. Thank you! #IValueYourExistence
Audio is broken.....on high end audio channel. Plz fix it if poss I'll come back later
I doubt the audio shall be fixed. Remember Paul records multiple of these videos in one day. The fact one of them has a small issue with the mic is not a good enough reason to re-record the entire video. Plus, you're not listening to this for the audio quality, but rather the information that is given.
Honestly I mostly tune in for the stories and ramblings plus the comments section can be fun.
Ah, what's wrong with the mic?
Sound like wireless interference on mic
Talk of splitters (and cable lengths) remind me of the early days of rs232 connections. The standard recommended max cable length was about 50 feet but our guideline was usually 30 feet and each connector was counted as 3 feet, and cable quality mattered. (On that note; IMO anyone who questions the difference cable and connectors can make in HIFI should consider the differences between cat5, cat5e, cat6, and cat7 Ethernet cables.)
Hooked both of my subs up high level. Sounds incredible.
Certain preamps and room correction devices like minidsp are designed for input multiplication. These room correction devices also have nice bass management solutions to help you correct bass response
Very short cables pick up less interference, so as long as the cable isn't too thin, it shouldn't affect the sound much.
For an audio specialist doing a video pertaining to audio products, it may be a good idea to have a good audio recording in your video. It might be hard to accept your advice for some people if you do not know how to provide good audio in your own videos. Food for thought. However thanks for the video.
Watched this video on lunch like "wtf is wrong w my car stereo now" 😂😂😅
If you use High Level for a sub you can't use smart things like the DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 and don't you think that's a bit sad since the DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 makes wonders.
You should use Amphions own subwoofer. It will blend in better then any other sub. In fact Amphion are the only system that I heard where the sub is invisible. All other system I heard I can hear the sub , I even told Martin Logan to turn off the sub on a convention because it disturb more then added something to the sound. So, in general I don't like subs, but Ampihion I liked..because it disappeared and just added depth and umph to the sound.
How about when you have 4 subs? Should you run the two front subs high level and the two in the rear low level?
Doesn't this affect the impedance?
your mic seems to be dying.
I wonder if the guy meant a stand alone active splitter by which it gives a variable frequency high pass / low pass line level output ..... these can be very useful . I have one that I designed and had made .. it's a 12dB/Octave Linkwitz-Riley type and ranges from 80Hz to 250Hz.
I would say that is not a splitter but an active crossover. Splitter means one signal in and that same signal out but now two of them. A crossover seperate the frequencies so this signal out on each leg is no way the same as the input.
Sounds like you're hooked up to a DAC that only costs TWO thousand dollars. 😉
It all depends on the sub. Some only require one connection and give you the option for 2. Cheaper subs with dual voice coils will likely require both. Contact the manufacturer
please fix your audio. I love your channel, but your microphone has some distortions coming thorugh. thank you paul.
The only negative with splitters is the impedance changes, but it almost never is an issue, even if you split 4 ways.
Since I stumbled upon your comment three years later, what if you have 1 sub output in your integrated amplifier, and then you use a splitter adapter at the amplifier - but that's splitter adapter is connected to two Y cables (essentially, the signal is split AGAIN) - since the powered subs have left and right input and I want to utilize the left and right input because those are the cables I bought lol. Not only am I worried about the impedance, but I'm worried that the DB boost the fact maybe too much since I'm effectively splitting the signal twice before it goes into the Sub(s). Thank you for potentially answering my question and if you need any more additional details, I will write back.
@@CeeStyleDj I’m not sure how subs handle 2 inputs that are duplicates. I assume it is just doubled (as it is expecting the bass from just the left/right channel in the left/right input). If so, just turning down the subwoofer volume should negate this.
Everyone thinks people who suggest tin foil hats are nuts , i'm slowly coming around
Soundcheck, always....
I'm trying to understand this cable talk. I think the issue with cables is impededance and capacitance. Your splitter added little of either, but inexpensive mic cables might. Most likely, however, is that your super high end cables are "coloring" your music because they are acting like a low pass filters. Someone who has a clue please correct everything I got wrong.
Agree too
Yep
Where is it better to connect an active sub hi level cable. At the amp or at the speaker terminals ?? Does the length of hi level cable make a difference??
Theoretically I guess I would link off the amp terminals with similar length cables to main speakers. But fun to check all options just to see if there's any noticeable difference
Soo what about the LFE input from the subwoofer out jack on a home theater receiver?
It is an effects channel, which your stereo music does not have.
@@Baerchenization A decent home theatre receiver will have the option to use the LFE output for music as well. My old Harmon Kardon AVR 144 sends bass to the sub through the LFE when in 5 channel stereo mode running off a cd player that is connected using only the left and right RCA jacks.
Thank you brother... just what Ineede
My question is if on splitting a low level signal and associated acjhoustical output. One leg to the speaker amp and the other to the sub amp. If you match the levels with the preamp at say 9 o'clock then turn it up to 3 o'clock, will the sound level no longer match? Do different amplifiers have different acoustical outputs based on line level voltage inputs? Do all amplifiers have the same linearity with regard to voltage in and acoustical output?
Hi, splitting a low level signal into two subs would get impedance problems ?
Impedance change, yes, due to ohms law, but not always a problem.
I'm from Norway ^^ Love you guys
I've never been to Norway but I'm Norwegian and I love Norwegian stereo equipment like Tandberg and Electrocompaniet.
that same tone frequency is heared when I have my keyboard and PC monitor in the same electricity socket..why is that?
Sounds like your wireless microphone picking up interference from a cellphone or WiFi or something
Wow!! That electrical interference!!
I*m a low level guy! Why? In a fully active System each Speaker-Chassis has its own, special suited for it, Amplifier. With low Level each Amp gets the same pure Signal to use it on its own Speaker.
Going through two amps is always worse.
0:35 seconds in...i couldnt take it any longer.
I stopped at 0:38 :D and headed to the comments
Thumbed down for the bad audio...
4:04 Paul's teenage girl voice OH MY GOD lmao.
Please fix the audio!
So now you are slinging rice krispies.
Why is this audio a nightmare
yeah yeah we all know you are bullish on subs - how about being bullish on your mic ? there are plenty of option out there and we can hear you no hazy or scratchy
wtf is wrong with the audio? for an audio centric channel?
But you just talk and never show how to do it :(
So called audiophiles have such a lack of understanding of audio. It’s hilarious to see how much money they throw away to get average audio quality.
I'm interested to what you have to say if you could expand on this.
Midnite Matador such as overpriced “woo” wire and connectors. Multi thousand dollar speakers and outdated tech. There’s a ton of snake oil that is sold to this community and many times they use pseudo science to explain their product’s magical properties.
Is this a joke?
Audio is fucked up
