SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS (#2 OF 4 RECOMMENDATIONS)
SATELLITE/SUBWOOFER CONFIGURATION (3 channel high-pass/low-pass)
Another common configuration is that of a “satellite/subwoofer” speaker system. By breaking the
audio spectrum (20 - 20,000 Hz) into two parts (e.g., above and below 100 Hz) amplifier power
and associated loudspeakers can be better proportioned to the needs of most music.
For truly dynamic performance, a dedicated subwoofer amplifier and speaker are needed for the
low frequencies. A “satellite/subwoofer” system allows for a lower powered mid and high
frequency amplifier (e.g., 4x15 watts inside the radio) but a much higher powered unit for the bass
region (e.g., 1x100 watts) since larger signal levels are found here in most music. Placing the
amplifier into 3 channel mode creates a complete high-pass/low-pass system. The front two
channels default into the high-pass configuration and the rear two channels are bridged into a
subwoofer configuration for higher power.
