Adding Low-Frequency Control
For additional low-frequency control, an Amie loudspeaker system is ideally deployed with Meyer Sound’s Amie-Sub loudspeaker. This subwoofer, housed within a compact cabinet, was specifically designed to be complementary to the Amie Precision Studio Monitor. It enables a complete system by extending the low-frequency range down to 22 Hz.
Amie-Sub Integration Module
Two optional integration modules are available for the Amie-Sub subwoofer to support adding low-frequency control for Amie loudspeaker systems:
7.1 module that accepts up to seven channels of audio (L, C, R and Surround) as well as a LFE input for output to 7 Amie loudspeakers
2.1 module that accepts two input channels as well as a LFE input for output to two Amie loudspeakers.
When the optional 7.1 or 2.1 integration input modules are installed in the Amie-Sub, they facilitate the creation of complete bass-managed systems including LFE handling capabilities. The Amie-Sub Operating Instructions document has more details.
Using a Processor
In larger systems when individual control for the Amie and subwoofers is needed or desired, or if a delay is required between them, use a measurement system to determine appropriate delay and polarity settings.
Caution
Make sure the source signal is sufficient to drive the total load impedance of the daisy-chained loudspeakers (see Calculating Load Impedance for Looped Audio Signals.
CAUTION:
Tip
MAPP can be used to accurately predict the appropriate loudspeaker deployment and subwoofer integration for loudspeaker systems. It provides coverage data, system delay and equalization settings, rigging information, and detailed design illustrations. For more information, see MAPP System Design Tool.
