Hi Vinnie,
Do you have any customers that use a Sig 30 for the upper module of Von Schweikert VR4-JR speakers?

Just imagining how this would work w/ my CIA D-200s on the woofers - I bet it'd be yummy.

Thanks

Hey mfsoa,

I don't have any customers doing it this way, but I also bet it would work really well.  Would you be using an active preamp and then splitting the output to both amps?  Keep in mind that they (Sig 30 and D-200s) have different values of gain, but you can lower the gain of the Sig 30 via the built-in attenuator.  The Sig 30's gain is 29.5dB.  Looks like the D-200s come in 26dB and 32dB versions.

Best regards,

Vinnie

Exactly - I'd be using a zero-gain active preamp with two pairs of outputs.

With a crossover of 200 hz, (I think) the Sig30 should have plenty of juice, no?

I have the 26 db versions so the gain on the 30 is just right.

Makes one think...

The Sig 30, volume control wide open, will have 29.5dB of gain, vs. 26dB of the D-200, so you probably will want to set the volume control of the Sig 30 a few clicks back from max so the upper speaker module will not be louder than the lower one driven by the D-200s.  Makes sense? 

Heck, if you want to hear a little more bass, you can attenuate the Sig 30 a little more (so the gain is slightly lower than that of the D-200s) since the Sig 30 will only be used for the upper module of the speaker.

Without a doubt!   aa
