Topic: HDSP 9632 connectivity question.

Hello,

Is there any possibility trough the XLR breakout or the ebu breakout (or both at the same time) to connect a tubes amp and a subwoofer from the lines out in parallel or in an other way?

Right now, my tubes amp is connected trough the XLR breakout and an XLR/RCA adapter from the line out but I have to connect the subwoofer in parallel from the amp to get the signal. It would be great to get the signal directly from the HDSP and bypass the amp for the subwoofer.

The subwoofer amp is this one :

Thanks for any help.

The sub has no digital input, therefore connect analog parallel is the way to go.
Otherwise use the headphone output with an adapter, you have to change the volume manually or create a fader-group in Totalmix.

Thanks for your answer waedi.

You mean "connect analog parallel is the way to go", in parallel with the amp not with line out from the sound card, right ?

Re: HDSP 9632 connectivity question.

Sorry to ask one more question but, I saw this kind of cables (as example) :

https://www.amazon.com/ROCKRIX-Female-S … 42P6/?th=1

Is it possible to connect them at the line out of the RME and split one to the tubes amp and the other to the low level input of the subwoofer?

So I would avoid to connect the sub in parallel to the amp and take the signal directly from the RME.

Thanks.

Re: HDSP 9632 connectivity question.

Not the Low level input at the sub.
Is this input labeled LFE ? low frequency effects.
If this is the case than don't. This input is for dedicated LFE outputs from home cinema receivers.
The sub should have line in left/right where you have to connect, those cables should work there.

Re: HDSP 9632 connectivity question.

The low level input on the sub can be configured by a switch to be : 24dB/oct - 12 dB/Oct or LFE depending on the connection diagram. In "STEREO CONFIGURATION", they say : If you have a pre-amp or a low level output, connect it to the low level input.

In the manual this input is 16kohms.

The RME is a "low level/pre-out" output and thus can be connected to the sub low level input?

P.S. The manual can only be downloaded from the french page (at the end of the page) for more details :
