Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler My speakers arrived but...

Hey, it's not everyday an M22 gets to fly to Japan! I'm sure he's just out sightseeing a bit.

Sorry for the newbie question but, is there any way I can make the sub work while listening to music. I put on a movie to see why the sub wasn't working, it seems to me that just when listening to music it does not work, will it be because I had pure direct on or stereo mode?

I believe pure direct just sends the signals to the speakers. You may have to either turn that mode off or adjust it.

Yes; you can't use a "pure direct" mode because no bass processing takes place. Use a stereo or surround(e.g., DPLII) mode with the M22s set "small" and with an 80Hz crossover.

There is a specific setting on my Denon 27808 for mains + sub (vs stereo). It should be the same for you.

I will look for it on the manual. Thanks! Since one M22 is missing I hooked up my old stereo speaker as the center channel. LOL It might not be as good as the M22 but at least the voices on the movies can be heard. Right now I am setting up the QS8's. They won't be on the right place because of the lack of speaker wire that I will be getting tomorrow. So far I like the sound coming out of the M22 but there is a sensation of lack of bass. My old stereo speakers have more bass coming out but the midrange is not so good.

I so want to take an M22 to work with me and get a picture of it at the airport to post here. Sort of like the gnome thing.

Yes like Fred says your Denon should have a menu setting for using the subwoofer with 2ch. My old 2807 even allowed a separate crossover setting for 2ch+sub vs multi-channel+sub.

How much noise is the EP350 supposed to make. I think it is kinda weak. Is it normal? Does the fact of Japan electric voltage being lower has something to do with it?

You should be able to turn the center channel to "off" on your receiver to have what's called a "phantom" center.

This is when the receiver takes the center channel's track and divides it evenly between your Left and Right Mains.

Did you run the auto-setup from your denon? If so let us know what it set all of the channel levels at, particularly the sub though. What is the gain knob set to on your 350?
