Hi Guys

I am struggling trying to get my sub working with the above setup.

Is it possible using OSX Sierra to route clean system audio out of outputs 1+2 and the same signal out of 3+4 but use CueMix to HPF to feed out to a SUB ?

I hope that is clear. is the issue that CueMix is only for routing external signals and not internal ?

Cheers
Matt

Most of us would not do it that way. Not sure what you mean by

use CueMix to HPF to feed out to a SUB

What is your setup? What monitors and sub are you using?

There is more than one way to set things up. A little more info will help find the ideal solution.

Cheers Mike

I have Mk3 FW, Mac Pro

Equator D5's and an old event S-100 Sub, it only has unbalanced rca (and way too noisy)

It also has a mono Input, what I wondered is if I can output a stereo pair to my monitors
with ie channel 3 also on the stereo out but filtered with Cue Mix.

so System/Daw audio out into 1+2 (filtered 53hz) the sub mono out 1+2 filtered above 54hz.

I hope that is more clear ?

Make it easy. The D5s don't have the low end for it to be a real issue unless you are cranking them really loud. The Event sub has a built in low pass at 120. I would run both as is. Careful placement of the sub will make it sound great. I never used a crossover with my D5s and my JBL subwoofer (the JBL has a switchable crossover — I ran mine at 120Hz).

Ted and I have had long talks about this over the years. He considers the ideal crossover is 80Hz for the D5. I don't disagree but 1/3 octave higher can still sound quite good and give you mixes you can trust. 53Hz is way too low.

I have an extremely noisy studio electrically due to 1960 non-grounded wiring and being in the middle of the silicon valley. Unbalanced in/out can be made to work by using balanced cables and terminating them mono. It's not theoretical in my room—the proper cables make a noticeable difference in noise levels that anyone can hear.
