A plea for your expert help gang!
After much hand wringing I've got hold of a one year(ish) old Q400E in walnut - immaculate - and on sale or return!
So our system (it is half SWMBO's after all!) as it stands now is;
MISSION 782SE Fronts
MISSION 78CSE Centre
MISSION 78DS Surrounds
REL Q400E Subwoofer
DENON 2105 Amplifier
DENON 2910 DVD Player
The trouble is I'm a complete newbie and have absolutely no idea ref. setting up the subwoofer to complement our system. I've read the manual and re-read it and I'm still scratching my head.
I've connected the sub to the amp using a phono lead connected to the amps' sub out connector- easy enough.
What confuses me is the neutrik(?) connector - do I have to connect that as well or is it not necessary? Indeed, can I connect that as well into my amp?
This phase and crossover thing confuses me too - is there an optimum configuration anyone can recommend? And what about the volume - should I need to put it up to halfway or more - especially as this sub is 400w (or is that irrelevant?)
Regarding room placement we are a bit limited i.e. there is a corner between the settee on the window wall and the settee on the long wall (living room approx. 15ft x 13ft x 7'6" high non open plan) - I know the manual says the sub should face the listeners position but I've also read that the bass can be increased by pointing it towards a wall.
On a similar note I notice that the phono type connection has two options, one marked 0db and the other marked 12db - the guy in the shop said that one is louder than the other - again is there a preferred connector by you boys or does it not matter which one is used?
I'm sorry I've got so many questions and I'm sure someone will be rolling their eyes but I really do need your help and I really do appreciate your constructive advice.
Hope you can help and I'm sure that I'll have more questions so brace yourselves lol.
Cheers
Rick
