Sound Reinforcement - Subwoofer Arrays
Large scale subwoofer arrays with full range bass also benefit from MaxxBass to increase the bass and richness. This can allow a reduction in the number of amplifiers and subwoofers to reach the desired bass level.
As shown in Figure 9, connect MaxxBass between the crossover and the subwoofer amplifier on the subwoofer path. Using MaxxBass on the subwoofer path allows a reduction in the number of amplifiers and subwoofers, and power consumption to reach the desired bass level. When connected to the subwoofer path, tune MaxxBass according to the subwoofer’s cutoff. Connect the crossover’s low frequency output to MaxxBass’ left and right inputs and use one of MaxxBass’ outputs for the subwoofer amplifier’s input.
