n-Sub with n-Vi?
Posted by: GreenAlex on 14 November 2010
Hi,
The FAQ has a section on n-Sub with n-Vi but doesn't really answer the one question I have
If you want to have the signal routed to the n-Sub from CD, so the internal player, how would yu have to connect the n-sub? Could you use the LFE plus BassMix? Or would it work if the speakers are set to small?
On the AV2 nothing would help as long as you use direct mode. Only hi-level works.
But the n-Vi doesn't offer direct vs. stereo. So is there a lo-level connection/setup that would work?

Hi Richard,
My n-Vi hasn't arrived yet, but I thought I'd sort out what I need so I can get the cable in place.
Thing is, that with my dvd5/av2 I think in "Direct" mode not even with speakers set to small the sub would get a signal. "Direct" would be completely pure.
Unfortunately I don't know whether the n-Vi uses this "direct" mode or uses the digitally altered "stereo" mode.
But if I wanted to use the Hi-Level, I would either need two n-Subs or would have to hope that enough bass is played through the speaker I chose.
I have two subs (one left, one right) in my main system, but won't add two to my second system
It wouldn't be the end of the world to set the speakers to "small", but IF routing to the small speakers would work, then in theory wouldn't BassMix work as well?

5.1 wouldn't be a problem. Nor the digital inputs. But the analogue inputs might be.
According to the manual no analogue input supports any processing modes (DTS:Neo, Pro Logic etc.), which I still find weird.
And by that logic it would seem logical to assume, that BassMix will not work on analogue sources. I think the CD is an analogue source (although it is not
).
What I did just see though is that instead of connecting to the hi-level of the speakers, I could connect to the analogue out of the n-Vi.
Am I correct in assuming that I could hook up the lo-level input of my n-Sub to the analogue output of the n-Vi?
If so, would it be possible to use a Y-cable to convert the DIN-stereo-signal to a mono signal so the sub gets left and right channel information?
Or would that result in some kind of short-circuit and damage the n-Vi?
