Mixing 1723 and 1961 subwoofers

[mohammad-addas]

I have two 1961 s1 subwoofers in the front area of the room and already ordered a 1723 s1 subwoofer to improve multi-seating bass respose. I’m planning to place the 1723 subwoofer in the back. My room is 4.5×6.0x4.0m (WxLxH).

Any suggestions for best subwoofer placement and integration between 1723 and 1961 models?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mohammad,

It is best to have all the subwoofers play the same signal in mono.
This will give you the most even bass response.
I have spoken with some movie mixing engineers and there is basically no stereo bass in movies, it is all mixed in mono.
Adding to that the LFE channel is mono as well.
There are some music recordings that have stereo bass, but that is very rare and can cause some cancelations.

Thanks a lot. Then mono it is.
