    Db1

    Hi all, I have DB1 subwoofer connected with Marantz 8802A. But I am really got tired of it. No bass i feel nothing it is a waste of money and time. I use it (Mono) for movies, and when I want (Stereo) mode, the SubApp does not recognize it. So I can't make measurements for music but just for movies I don't know why. My room is 4.50 meters tall, 3.40 wide and 3 meters high. My room doesn't have acoustics. I have B&W 803d2 and htm4. Any help please!!!!

    Hi Ice Cube,

    If your DB1 is working when you play movies, but not working when you play music, then you might not have your Marantz 8802A setup properly. Make sure that you select LFE+MAIN for your subwoofer mode. The default state for the 8802A is for the subwoofer mode to be "LFE." This would mean that anytime there is any .1 LFE content in a movie, you will hear it through your subwoofer. However, when playing Stereo music, no subwoofer will be active. LFE + MAIN solves this problem.

        Meet the DB1—Unleashing a new era in B&W subwoofer design
        by hifiguymi
        Here is a new sub that B&W is intoducing. Sounds pretty awesome!


        I think B&W is tired of losing sales to the likes of JL Audio and Velodyne.

        M&K MX-125 Mark II Subwoofer
        by Dmantis
        What's up everyone?
        I recently aquired a used M&K sub woofer. It had a bad Phase switch which was causing it to pop. The person I got it from didn't want to get it fixed and decided to get a new woofer.
        I took this subwoofer home, fixed the Switch and decided to add it into my system...

        B&W DB1 and JL F113 and Emotiva... Fun day to say the least
        by BVLDARI
        So I had an interesting AV day yesterday. First, Emotiva was in a suburb in Chicago. Second, my dealer is not far from where Emotiva was - so I planned an afternoon music.

        My Emotiva experience was a bit disappointing. They did not have enough people there to handle the (relatively small)...

        7100, LFE, and Subwoofer level, relationship?
        by Wadsbrau
        I am trying to wrap my head around LFE, and subwoofer levels and how they interact with the 7100. I completely understand what LFE is. However, I am not sure how the 7100 settings for Subwoofer level (in speaker setup menu) and the LFE level interact with the 7100. Subwoofer level generally sets...

        Subwoofer Test Tone on 1066
        by nash
        I've never really used the LFE output on my 1066 since I use Def Tech towers with built-in subs. With just the towers hooked up to L/R, the sound in movies is great and there's plenty of low frequency response. However, I thought I'd experiment and see how it performed differently if I used the optional...
