- If you don't want long cable runs feeding your subwoofer, is it acceptable to use a wireless sub connection?

Sub(s) are definitely an awesome thing to have in your rig even if you’ve got towers that say they go down to say even 20 - 30Hz. Feel that bass!
Can confirm I have some now vintage floor speakers and they go low but not my neighbors hate me and my family low lol
Wireless sub transmitters work perfectly, I use them in installations often, never a problem.
Yes exactly. The signal is sent and received at the speed of light .... across a room. No delays will ever be detectable by a human ear under any circumstance.
In the manual to my DSPeaker ANTIMODE 8033 you find this text:
"If the A/V receiver supports speaker distances, you can add 90 cm to the subwoofer
distance relative to other speakers to compensate for the internal processing delay.
This is not absolutely necessary since the delay is small enough that the human
auditory system can generally not detect it."
And it's nice that they've been so "scrupulous" so they've even thought about a time delay of less than 3 feet cable to the sub.
Wow great timing. My SVS PB 1000 pro just came in today. I like where it is now (wired) but I'm glad to know wireless works well.
I have a Klipsch Spl 150 with a Dynasty Audio Pro wireless kit connected about 20 feet away from the receiver and is been working flawlessly.
Klipsch has its WA ~ 2 wireless kit for your SPL ~ 150, and another WA ~ 3 kit for a more, `Professional,' Subwoofer. Recommend checking the specifications, for each, to see what's best, for you.
I have the Klipsch wireless 8 inch down firing subwoofer. Works great.
Nothing compares to a nicely setup pair of subs !! Any system will be incomplete without them. Those who are against subs is only because they don't have the patience or the ears to set them up properly. People tend to associate the Sub element to the amount of bass the system will deliver, think of it more as the depth in sound stage they will provide ;)
I have two JL Audio's for my audio rig and two wireless Klipsch 15" for my cinema room they work flawlessly. Get one !! in fact ... Get a pair if you want you trousers to move while you're watching you action movies :D
I think a lot of people hate subs because of idiots that don't know how to do car audio properly and their buzzing trunks and bass cranked to 11.
Bose has a wireless adapter that has been out for many years from their Lifestyle series, which was used to power rear surrounds, that works pretty well…i’ve used it to power a Bose POWERED soundbar as my center channel…i didn’t notice any delay or sound degradation…pretty cheap on Ebay
A lot of systems could benefit hugely by adding a proper subwoofer.
Basicly ALL systems will benefit from that unless maybe if they have good active woofers in the speakers in the first place. A passive woofer in a speaker will never quite be the same as adding an active sub.
@@Oystein87 Yes, a well designed active subwoofer is hard to beat for any passive speaker. From an acoustical optimization (and interior design) perspective, an active subwoofer can be hidden away while you can enjoy much better flexibility on your speaker placement when the speakers are not huge and taking the role of providing the deepest bass.
@@ThinkingBetter Does not even have to be that well designed. Even a midrange sub gives ALOT. But yes, that's true😉
I have had experience with making my sub-woofer wireless. There is always latency. I found that, even with as little as 25ms of delay, there are cancelations and blurring of some bass frequencies in the room and it's hard to tell what is happening but it just doesn't sound right. This is in a two channel system where sub-woofer is being used to reinforce the bass and main speakers are being run full range. Overall sound is much better with direct wiring of the sub, either high level or low level. My experience tells me that wireless is not the way to go with sub-woofers when being used to supplement main speakers being run full range. This may not be the case if the mains are not being run full range, but I have not tested that.
My single REL 212sx runs wirelessly is room corrected through Dirac and is simply amazing.
I agree! Wireless subs are great when you don't want to run a long wire across the room, 3 yrs ago a bought a wireless 12in Klipsch sub for under $350 on sale and it's really good, it's not the best and it doesn't hit really "deep", but it's punchy and can get loud and for a simple set up it's perfect. I use it in the master bedroom connected to a soundbar.
Punch is what you need. Loud muddy bass is the worst so if you have the punch you are good.
Stereo subs will ALMOST always be better. There are always some scenarios it can be worse depending on various factors. But in general yes, it will be better.
How would that work? Buy 4/6/8 even number of speakers and assign through software sub to 2 of them? Or buying a standalone set of 2 subs? Or a complete setup including 2 subs (never heard of that).
@@WellBeSerious12 Left and right signal from the amp... No magic.
What is that Pass Lab amp doing in the corner behind the chair:?)
Nobody puts baby in the corner!
its holding up that wall...
Paul. Love your videos. Please talk about professional P.A. amplifiers and speakers that are at the same level of hi end gear in terms of sound quality. Perhaps some Crown or Lab Gruppen amps, Electro Voice or Meyer Speakers. By The way the Bose L1 and S1 systems sounds very good when used in stereo mode. Thanks and greetings from Quito Ecuador.
The best thing is to use wire! Wireless does all sorts of negative things with the audio signal!
often the bass speaker is not placed far away from the amplifier / preamplifier
Some soundbar has wireless bass! but if it is less than 5 meters away from the soundbar, you can use a cord
My SVS sub works great with the SVS wireless transmitter. No issues.
Buchardt has some very high-end wireless full-range powered speakers. The use the WiSA protocol to send up to 24/96 lossless PCM audio over WiFi.
Thanks Paul!
I got a rolkolsen wireless sub and soundbar given to me. And a teac cd player but already have a newer model. Good score though.
Is there a Pass amplifier behind the chair?
I have the Klipsch R-80SWi subwoofer, which is wireless, but I have it wired. Best Buy Geek Squad technician told me that he thought it would be better to have it wired.
DYNASTY PROAUDIO WSA-5TR. This is the specific model I bought. It operates at 5.2/5.8 Ghz. Paid $90
DSD as a driver for remote speakers - now that could give some really low latency, it's already in bit serial format, so no need to convert a 16 or 24bit PCM sample to serial, then back again at the other end....
A friend has the Klipsch wireless, no problems.
Hey Paul, I just installed my Vizio wireless sub sound bar, But I want to use my Harmon/Kardon powered sub as well. Can I do that via RCA cables from TV audio out to Sub line in and be ok?
Can you put a subwoofer in another room? I just bought a 16 Klipsch with the wireless kit
I live close to my neighbors and I thought it would lessen the rattle on their windows
So you are saying 2 subwoofers in 2 different locations in the room is better
Paul please do a research on Wisa. You guys should be jumping on that platform since you are producing good staff and everybody is going wireless sooner or later. If you are aware of that platform - what is technically wrong with it from your perspective? Thanks!
Agree. Wisa is very promising with full HighRes capabilities up to 5.1 and the technology to minimize latency differences between the speakers. And the convenience is undeniable.
If there is a slight delay for all frequencies it is only an issue if it does not sync now with a video signal. Otherwise I don’t see why you would not recommend such a system.
I use a Klipsch wireless setup on one of systems and it works great, no delay that I can tell.
The audio prophet.
Do you now why audio cables have a shield?
I have a question - speaker cables have two conductors without shields, why?
The signals going to speakers are higher voltage and drive a low-impedance load. Because of that, it’s a relatively “strong” signal. Any electrical interference that the cable might pick up (due to it being unshielded) won’t affect the sound in any noticeable way.
On the other hand, all the other interconnect cables in a system handle much weaker signals, and those signals do need the protection of a shield. If they were unshielded, you could much more easily hear interference whenever the cable is near some other electrically “noisy” device (or other cable).
Rel's UA-cam chanel just posted a video explaining hoq their wireless works.
Yeah until you have to repurpose them because you don't have the original link software in the speakers ir pairs with .
I have a Samsung subwoofer that pairs with a soundbar but the sound bars friedin the trash
Just put them next to speak against the sidewalls don't need much cable
No bass because need to be against the wall the if they sound boomy put a pillow behind the port
Dear Paul,
I am also using 2 x sumiko S10 with standard neutrik cable and wondering if upgrade the standard cable with a better one like Kimber 8tc, will improve sq?
I'm no Paul, but your answer is no.
Can anyone give me advice on stereo subs? I have a tiny 8 inch bnw asw608. Ive made it integrate well with my speakers and it sounds great but im thinking of getting another one for stereo. Would i notice a big difference? Or just save up for the likes of rel subs?
Current.
I have a question - speaker cables have two conductors without shields, why?
@@sr3o_ The high current in which in which THIS part of the chain sees would not benefit, I think, from a passive shield. In fact it may "choke" the sound, a bit.
How about the dynaudio Xeo3 with wireless connection with no Compression?
A 40 foot concrete bass horn with a nasa built digital feed for imax , is killer,yes it will kill you
ALWAYS use cables.
Period.
No discussion.
Ok Dad....
If wireless subs do work, why not build a PS Audio outboard wireless subwoofer amp for non-powered subwoofers.
I wonder how much a wireless subwoofer with similar qualities and capabilities to the Audio Physic Rhea would cost me?🤔
Go SVS cheaper and better than rel,rel will rip you off

One of "those" guys
First haha😂👍
