Adam A7- Adam SUB 8 / question about ..

Post by tobysan »

Hey friends,
I just buy this system, any suggestion or setting to match both and obtain the best performing levels between A7 and Sub 8 ?
i try to find the best position (i thing its the middle behind my desk) and what is the right level and cross frequency ?

my room 11.4 X 13.5 ft

thanks !

There are no magic answers, every room is different....so you need to play with placement and settings yourself, and listen to the results.
Thank you,

Thanks Brad, In fact im not looking for any magic answers (lol) and of course every room its different..
But If there is any advice about a way to balance Subwoofer and speakers levels, on a mix situation i really appreciated, then i can have a reference and start pointing to that direction.

thank you !

Without going into room treatments etc one good idea is to place the sub in your listening position and walk around the room listening - where the sub sounds best is where you should place it.
Lots of stuff and a recently acquired ability to stop buying

Select a high quality CD from your collection (A mastered CD, the one u suggest is perfectly mixed, best sounding ever).
Press PLAY and listen to it thru your new ADAM system. Then adjust the balance until you feel the bottom and top sounding at it´s best.
There u are. Ready to rock ´n roll with your own mixes!
