I sent this email to Frank at Signal Cable - and I thought i explained it pretty well, so I am doing a copy and paste job here....
Just trying to get more advice/comments on the subject...
Ive been asking around - and no one seems to be able to give me an answer. So I figure I will ask a wiring guy - I hope you don't mind.
Basically, in my setup, I do mostly 2 channel but I want to integrate it into a HT setup...
Here is the jist of the idea...
The system would have 2 preamps. The 2 channel preamp has a HT bypass, but since the unit will feature 2 main outs - one for my mains and one for my stereo subs, I am afraid if I use the HT Bypass - the mains will be coupled together and I would not be able to use the crossover feature on my HT preamp.
My main amp has two inputs, RCA and XLR
So from my 2 channel pre, RCA out to RCA in on the amp, and the HT preamp, go from those outputs to the XLR ins....
As for the subwoofer - this is where you would come into play, I would need a cable that had one RCA on one end that split off into two seperate wires, with a RCA on each end of those
This would allow me to split the input of the crossover for the sub and I could run into the outputs of the preamps. The 2 ch preamp would be R&L, The HT preamp would have a y splitter to bring them together into a LFE channel.
I will attach a diagram of the setup to further help...
Equipment at the time of this taking place... will be the following...
2 Ch pre - Odyssey Audio Candela
HT pre - Emotiva LMC 1
2 Ch Amp - Odyssey Audio Stratos Extreme
Sub amps - 2 Crown XTi1000
Sub Xover - Paradigm X30
Thanks in advance!
