Should I use my subwoofer LFE or line input connections?
In this day in age, it is far less likely that you will use left and right input, though this is not out of the realm of possibilities. Most people have found that using an LFE input in a subwoofer will carry the appropriate sound from the subwoofer to the receiver and, thus producing the effective audio.
What level should I set my subwoofer at?
If the subwoofer is in the same plane as the front speakers, the “normal” or “0 degrees” position is usually right. Adjust the volume or level until the bass level blends in with your other speakers.
What does LFE on a subwoofer mean?
Low Frequency Effect
LFE (Low Frequency Effect) – The discrete content sent to the subwoofer from a Dolby or DTS encoded audio track. ( The .1 in a 5.1 or 7.1 audio track) LFE + Main – The low frequencies output to the Subwoofer whether the speaker channels are set to Large or Small.
Should you use LFE on subwoofer?
You should use the LFE/. In this configuration, the REL provides support for both the left and right speakers for two-channel listening, and support for the LFE when movies are playing. Most processors will allow you to defeat the subwoofer output when listening in the two-channel mode.
Why do subwoofers have 2 inputs?
Dual input allows the subwoofer an extra sensitivity adjustment. Normally, it would be enough to use a mono LFE subwoofer signal from its processor. By using both inputs with the same mono signal doubles the subwoofer sensitivity. This means that there is now only half the signal strength to drive it to full output.
What is LFE level?
Dolby Digital Select the low-frequency effect (LFE) level of each type of signal from “0dB” to “-∞dB”. If the low-frequency effect sound is too strong, select “-20dB” or “-∞dB”. This setting works on LFE channel volume of Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources.
What are line-level inputs?
Line inputs are designed to accept voltage levels in the range provided by line outputs. These “Hi-Z” or “instrument” inputs generally have higher gain than a line input. They are designed to be used with, for example, electric guitar pickups and “direct input” boxes.
Can you connect LFE to RCA?
Connect Using the LFE Subwoofer Output The preferred method of connecting a subwoofer is through the subwoofer output (labeled SUB OUT or SUBWOOFER) of a receiver using an LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) cable. It’s usually just one cable with single RCA connectors on both ends.
