USP-1 / High and Low Pass Outputs used Simultaneously?

[wes]

Hi Keith,

I have the USP-1 and wondering if it is possible to use the Low Pass and High Pass Outputs at the same time. A set of speakers on each output. So I would be driving 4 speakers simultaneously.

The front speakers would be on High Pass outputs being pushed by Emotiva Mono Blocks.
The rear speakers would be on the Low Pass outputs being pushed by an Emotiva 3 channel amp.
Speakers are the full range Emotiva’s.

At some point I will purchase the processor, but in the mean time I want to utilize the 3 channel amp and set of speakers if possible for more dynamics.

Thank you
Wes

There is only mono low pass output (1 RCA and 1 XLR) which is for a subwoofer.. You could use the Full Range output for one pair of speakers and the High Pass output for another pair. On the High Pass output you need to have the potentiometer fully clockwise. That will still limit output to 200 HD and above (ie; no real bass output).

If you have a subwoofer then use the High Pass output for the front (main) pair, then the Full Range output for the other pair.

Cheers
Gary

Thank you Gary! I will explore that option.
