Nice sub (just be careful with grounding)
|
I purchased this sub after I bought a new receiver since the new receiver did not have any connectivity options for my old passive sub. The main appeal of this sub was the design, which blends in very nicely with the rest of my living room. I won't comment on the sound quality since I live in an apartment and I can't run this thing on full blast (it definitely beats not having a subwoofer though).
Like the other reviewers I also had a problem with the subwoofer generating a constant hum. As the previous reviewer indicated, this is caused by a ground looping problem which is quite common when a lot of AV equipment gets strung together. To eliminate or mitigate this problem, just try to connect all your equipment to a common ground (e.g. a single surge protector). If that doesn't do the trick, hum eliminators/isolators can be had for fairly cheap at any music equipment store. In my case, the main offender causing the hum in the sub was my cable TV coax line hooked up to my cable set-top box (which in turn was hooked up to my receiver). I simply plugged the coax into my surge protector (APC SurgeArrest Performance PF11VT3) before running another coax to the cable box. The hum went from being slightly annoying to inaudible (unless I put my ear right next to the sub). |
