L1 Pro32 with Sub1 and L1 Pro16: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

;Answer: The result will be the same as running the Sub2 alone. The Sub2 plus Sub1 is only slightly louder than the Sub2 alone.

~~Here's why.~~

;Testing, testing

:I have an L1 Pro32 with Sub1, and I connected an L1 Pro 16 to the L1 Pro32 line out and then cranked up the volume on everything. I turned the Sub1 off/on and heard almost no difference. The L1 Pro16 drowned out the Sub1. I expect the result would be the same with a Sub1 and a Sub2; the Sub2 would drown out the Sub1.

:The math: If you run a Sub2 and add another Sub2, you can expect up to +6 dB SPL. You get +3 dB from doubling the power and up to +3 dB from acoustic coupling (if the units are stacked or side-by-side). However, if you run a Sub2 and add Sub 1, you '''might''' get up to +3 dB SPL, because you are adding less than half as much power and half as much surface area.
