8020A x3 + sub?

Youngling Viestejä: 4 Liittymispäivä: 25.9.2015 Viimeisimmät viestit

I have recently started using a pair of 8020A's in a bedroom approx. 3.5 by 4.5 metres. These speakers are almost against the wall (as close as possible), aimed at the listening position, approx. 1 metre apart. I have no sound proofing or acoustic tiles, and the room has laminate flooring.

1) I've read some reviews, suggesting that I add a subwoofer for mixing. In a room of this size, do I need one? If so, which one, and in what order should I connect them to my Roland VS2480 hardware DAW and/or my Tascam DA3000 2 channel AD/DA ?

2) I was thinking of getting a third 8020A plus a stereo twin jack to single XLRM cable, so I can check mixes in mono for phase and EQ frequency cancellation. Is this a worthwhile venture?

Thanks.

Room size is not the question but do you need the added extension the subwoofer offers? If you are happy with 8020 extension, then you obviously don't need a subwoofer.

Signal should be connected so that it goes first into subwoofer and from there to the speakers.

I haven't seen any studio with this kind of configuration. You should be able to force mono signal from your DAW?

It turns out I have to insert an effect into the master fader of the DAW, then turn its "mono switch" on, and display and effect blocks (reverb, delay, etc., etc.)
