828mk3 and Subwoofer

Post by ft13 »

I just got a Yamaha HS10W subwoofer to accompany my Yamaha MSP5A near field monitors, but im unsure of how to add it to the 828.

Do my near fields stay in the Main Outs of the 828 or does the subwoofer go to the Main Outs?

Im confused...

You can get the manual here

http://www.manualowl.com/m/Yamaha/HS10W/Manual/153545

which describes how to set it up, but basically, you run your L-R 828 outs into the subwoofer first and then out from there to your L-R nearfields. The subwoofer does the bass management for you. Now, if you are doing full surround monitoring, you will want to send a separate out from your 828 directly to the sub, but I don't think that is what you are trying to do.
