Hi,
From THIS VIDEO
Charles Sprinkle mentions they are using 2 subwoofers NOT for bass management but for LFE.
I kind of know that LFE is a special channel for "Low Frequency Effects" meaning a 5.1/7.1 soundtrack will have an LFE mono channel for effects below 120Hz (per Dolby standard?)
OTOH, Bass management I guess is the process when there is NO LFE channel and you high pass your speakers and you mix the lower end and send it to one or more subwoofers.
But isn't that practically the same? What´s the real difference then?
I understand that If I have a -say- Bluray with LFE channel, can I still do some bass management (If I have the proper DSP equipment)? I know I will be limited to a mono signal which I can distribute in different SW and adjust delay/phase/eq to integrate them with the mains and the room.
