I just received noticed that the new Rythmik sub will be arriving this week. It should integrate much better with the Magnepan's! I am really looking forward to it. Really liking the Maggie's but better integrated sub should be fantastic!
 
We have new sub.... first listen going on now. Just used recommended settings to start. A lot if controls on it. Definitely has some more defined low end and would say it matches the speed of the Maggie's better. Will have to Breakin and listen :).

Much heavier... much.... (which has to show the quality of the product I would think) :)

The Rythmik staff is awesome if you need some advice on settings.
 
My personal now 16yrs old Rythmik servos still work perfect, one of many reasons I use them in my products.
Enjoy Randy, you won't find a better performing, sounding sub.

cheers,

AJ
 
Thank you guys. I think I am going to really like it. Now comes to learning all the settings and controls on it. I have never seen a sub with so many :)....
 
I find that getting a sub properly "voiced" to integrate with the speakers is about a month long process of fiddling with knobs. Good luck!
 
Using Room EQ Wizard makes the process much simpler and faster.

You can, in order: measure different locations (possibly going in reverse, placing the sub at your main listening position and moving the microphone to candidate locations), determine the appropriate PEQ filters to apply, and then measure the time difference between your main speakers and subwoofer to set any time offset if possible (or pick a different location with less time difference) or at least phase.
 
Maybe at some point I will try one of the systems such as Room EQ Wizard, but at this point I am enjoying the sub with my Maggie's as it is. I have made a couple small adjustments from the 2-channel recommended settings. It just seems to integrate very well with the Magnepan speakers.
 
Randy, the folks from JL Audio published a white paper on how to integrate a sub into a system. From recollection, it is on their website.
That’s what I used to integrate my subs with my maggies. It worked beautifully.

Soundoctor - all about subs

I don't fully agree with everything he says. I cross mine over lower, but still good info

Could not agree more. Extremely helpful tool for doing this.
 
Ok, I ordered a second Rythmik sub. The one is rather amazing so decided to add a second since everyone keeps saying you need two subs :P....

Cool Randy. How high (crossover) are you running the single now?

I am running it at about 70 now. Still getting used to all the controls on the Rythmik. Much more than any other sub that I have owned :)... it does integrate very will with the Magnepan speakers.
 
A quick hookup question about 2 Rythmik subs in my 2-channel system. I can run a single left channel to left sub and right channel to right sub, or stereo to both. The Hattor has enough outputs.

I assume left to left, right to right, but this leads me to the main question. I know I do not want to use the LFE input since this is for HT and bypass many of the controls, however should I run the single RCA cable to a single input of the L & R inputs on each sub, or should I use a "Y" connector and use both L and R inputs on each sub from the L and R single outputs of the pre-amp?
 
Randy

One single channel to each sub. It really doesn't matter whether you use left or right but if you are OCD like me I run right to right and left to left. No Y-splitters needed and no exotic cable required. Just use what you have.
