System Configuration

[aaron]

Hi all.  Very new to Hifi looking for some help.

Thinking about adding an SE8 Flex Subwoofer to my setup which is currently the TA-100 amp and B1+ speakers.  I'm looking at the system configurations in the back of the manual for SE8/SE12.  Can someone point me to the correct configuration? Are there options other than what is listed there?  I'm lost a little in terms of "bass management" and what that means specifically for my setup.  Thanks!

Chatted with Emotiva directly about the question. Configuration #2 in the back of the manual for the SE8/SE12 would be the choice for connecting to the TA-100. So, this would be a single RCA connection from the summed output on the TA, to one of the stereo line level inputs on the SE8. The crossover dial on the back of the SE8 should probably be set to around 80Hz.

To take advantage of the high-pass filter on the SE8, I would need to add another external amplifier and use Configuration #3.
