Yamaha KS-SW100 Subwoofer

[Tyros1]

i have a SX 700 and Yamaha p-125 Piano and i use only the internal speakers in both.
If i want to connect Yamaha subwoofer too both of them  - is it possibel too connect them both at the same time??

Just bought one yesterday... totally worth the money if you ask me. The difference it made is astounding! The bass, kick drums really give that "thump" which is shockingly missing with just the onboard speakers.

The onboard Yamaha speakers on the SX900 are really good especially at the highs but it did miss the deep bass right when I heard it at first. The subwoofer adds the missing "thump" (connected to the dedicated sub out) balances out pretty well. Would totally recommend it to anyone who has a taste in deep bass.

Hi Tyros1,

you can try a simple RCA Y-cable (mono):



Connect this cable to the RCA Input socket of the KS-SW100 subwoofer, and use two identical "6.3 mm mono jack plug to RCA plug" cables connected to the SX700's "Main Output L/L+R" socket and to the P-105's "Aux Out L/L+R" socket.

     


Best regards,
Chris

I have the KS-SW100 hooked up to my SX-900.    I have the main L / L+R going to a QSC mixer, so I have the KS hooked into SUB L+R.    Works well.   It's called a 100W subwoofer, but it's actually 50W with 100W peaks.   Not too powerful for the PSR.    Just right.

Can somebody help in giving the  EQ settings for achieving a Bass thump(as in HI FI Systems) rather than a boomy sound?
Thanks

I note that there is no tone or equalizer in a Hi FI system. As far as the commercial category is concerned, it is only ridiculed by Hi FI.

Hi Chax,

which Master EQ settings are you currently using on your SX900?

I recommend to try out the EQ presets "Flat" and, if available on the SX900, "With Subwoofer" (or similar). And of course don't set the Subwoofer's Volume too high.

Try out also moving the Subwoofer to (slightly) different places. (Do not place it into a corner or very close in front of a wall.)

If you use custom Master EQ settings that work ok WITHOUT the Subwoofer, but you get a "boomy" sound when you add the Subwoofer, first try the suggestions above.

If the problem persists, try the following:

Make sure that the low frequencies (up to about 300 Hz) are  not boosted too much in Master EQ.

Try to use the second or third frequency band (seen from the left) to lower the "boom" frequencies.

First you have to FIND the correct frequency: Set the Gain of the second or third frequency band to about +3 ... +5 dB and "Q" to a relatively HIGH value (e.g. 2.0) to achieve a relatively SMALL bandwidth for this EQ band.

Then try different settings for the FREQUENCY of this band to find out the main "boomy" frequency. Leave this frequency set (at which it "booms" the most), but now lower the Gain of this EQ band (e.g. to -6dB). This should remove the "boomy" frequencies (that are mostly can be found around 250 Hz).


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris

Chris ,
You were substantially right. I made certain changes to suit my ears as much of it also depends on our ear response and it varies for everyone.
I picked up 'Flat' as you mentioned but made the following changes:
Main EQ:
Changed   80Hz to 32 at 9db
                4 Khz to 9db for mids
                8KHz to 9Khz at 12 db for treble
Panel Eq:
Changed     Style, 'Low' to 57
Compressor: off
Volume of  SX 100 Sub at 40% or max 50%.
Got very good response.
Thanks
