Questions: To Rega Elicit-R Owners - Re: Subwoofer Integration
Question 1: Adding a subwoofer.
i.e. Moving from a 2.0 system to a 2.1 system.
a) Can I connect a subwoofer to the preout on the Elicit-R?
b) If "yes" to Question 1a: Can I control the volume of the subwoofer with the volume control on the Elicit-R integrated amp?
Question 2: Using the Elicit-R in conjunction with a home theatre 5.1 setup.
i.e. Using the Elicit-R home theatre bypass, so that the front left and front right speakers are still powered by the Elicit-R. I would connect the AVR preout to the Elicit-R HT bypass input.
a) By connecting front speakers in this manner, can I control overall volume (fronts, rears, centre, sub) with the master volume control of the AVR?
b) I assume that for this setup, one would naturally connect the powered subwoofer directly to the AVR. However, CAN I connect the subwoofer to the preout of the Elicit-R instead? (As described in Question 1a above.)
c) If "yes" to Question 2b): Can I control the volume of the subwoofer with the master volume control on the AVR?
Thanks in advance to the knowledgeable group. For the sake of my own understanding, please specifically reference the question number to which you are responding. This will help me keep concepts clear, and hopefully allow me to make the best informed decisions as I continue my audio (and visual) journey!
