Connection Of High Pass And Low Pass Amplifiers (Via Rca) - Emotiva RSP-1 User Manual

Connection of High Pass and Low Pass Amplifiers (via RCA)

This connection diagram shows two separate amplifiers connected to the RSP-1 preamplifier, both utilizing
RCA inputs . One amplifier connects to what would play either full range or high pass signals. The other
amplifier connects to a low pass signal intended for a subwoofer. This allows the system operation to be
in a "biamped" mode where the same speakers in the tower have discrete amplification for high pass and
low pass sections. This configuration also allows for a "2.1" mode where the addition of a non powered
subwoofer (or multiple subwoofers placed throughout the room) takes some of the work load off of the
main speakers.
Set the High Pass and Low Pass Filters
Be sure to set the high and low pass filters appropriately.
If the amplifier has a built in crossover and you intend to
use that one, make sure you leave the LPF in bypass mode,
otherwise there cascading LP filters in play. If you do use
the LPF in RSP-1, Emotiva recommends starting both HP
and LP filters at 80Hz and then adjusting to taste.
