#81926 - 12/05/09 04:57 PM Sub out on the PR-SC886
XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	I have the PR-SC886 and I have two subs in my main room. Can I connect one sub to the RCA out and another to the XLR balanced output or should I just use a splitter off the RCA. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	I was thinking there might be an issue with the extra 3db of gain through XLR. The manual says not to use XLR and RCA at the same time. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	Each of my subs are just outboard of my LRs about 15 feet apart. One is an Outlaw LFM EX down firing and the other is an Aperion S-12 Front firng. They are pretty capable of any LFE in my HT and they sound good with music. Ideally I would have wanted the Outlaw behind the seating position but WAF overruled a cable running across the floor. The Outlaw is huge compared to the Aperion. The LFM EX could do double duty as an end table. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

Pretty sure you can't just "Y" a balanced connection. Check into it first. I am running two subs off my 885, but I daisy chained at the amplifier.

Jimna Gunslinger Registered: 10/07/09 Posts: 236 Loc: Denver, CO	oh yes you can, i do it all the time. many of the soundboards here have only XLR outs so I made my own set of splitters. works like a charm, especially at a line level signal. _________________________ J.Mimna Photography Live Concert Recordist Outlaw 970> Emotiva XPA-2> Martin Logan Preface Some Of My Live Recordings: http://www.archive.org/bookmarks/J.Mimna My Concert Photographs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimna/collections/72157613267633153/
