Hi all,
first of: This place is really a refreshing source of wisdom regarding audio without the vague fuss surrounding it in so many other places. I really learned a lot the last weeks simply by reading the great discussions here. So thanks alot
Situation
I want to build up a 2.2 System with the Genelec 8030C, Canton AS 30 (Active Subwoofer) and the MiniDSP DDRC-24HD as DAC / DSP / Preamplifier. Since the review of the 8030C in the Review of Amirm showed relatively high distortion starting at 125 Hz, I want to set the Crossover frequency at this. I know that this could make the subs position audibly but fortunately I can place them circa 0.5 m to the side of each of the Genelecs. I also want to use Dirac for the final room correction.
Question
Should I use both subs as mono channel in a summed fashion like proposed on the MiniDSP homepage (https://www.minidsp.com/applications/audio-streaming/sub-integration-with-shd) or can (and should) I run them in stereo due to the high crossover? I would prefer the second option.
My plan
Best regards
Dominik

My plan
- Forward on the DDRC-24 CH1/Dirac1 to Genelec1, CH2/Dirac2 to Genelec2, CH1/Dirac1 to Sub1, CH2/Dirac2 to Sub2 (MINIDSP recommends: DDRC-24 CH1/Dirac1 to Genelec1, CH2/Dirac2 to Genelec2, CH1/Dirac1 + CH2/Dirac2 to Sub1, CH1/Dirac1 + CH2/Dirac2 to Sub2) (both subs would be connected with only one rca cable each)
- Adjust Volume and time delay with REW and set values in MiniDSP
- Run Dirac Room Correction
- Finish
Best regards
