Is it possible?

The Kickstarter version of the N3 had a sub out. The new N3 does not. AFAIK, there is no way to sync a wireless sub with the N3.

I had the Kickstarter version and tried it with a sub. Yeah it had a bigger bottom end with the sub but you couldn't cross the Air to the sub.

I have the latest N3. You don't need a sub. I also have the N2 and enjoy that too without a sub. All this coming from a guy who runs 7 sealed Axiom subs in his room.

Hello Mojo, do you know if the Kickstarter version with the sub out can be used with a passive sub?

Thanks in advance

No. It was low level out. A few Volts and milliAmps.

Can it be done Technically, yes. I do not think you can currently do it (without rigging up stuff). (Ahhh, if I understand the question correctly)

It would be nice if you could cross various systems and wireless speakers/subs. Think this might make sense especially when combined with a transformer … I.e. axiom should consider it.

P.S. I have an N3 with a sub out. I bought it as a refurb (I like to think I got Mojo’s return). It was a bit too boomy indoors for my tastes (Mojo tells me they fixed it since …) outdoor on the deck it’s much better and now it’s used there or on the patio. Originally I was hoping that it would cross to the sub when a sub was plugged in but the jack was just an output … I.e. didn’t help the boom just augmented it

I'll never buy a wireless sub until I have guaranteed and constant latency that I can compensate for. 1 msec latency on a 30Hz signal is 11 degrees. That's the difference between an emotionally wrenching THWACK! and a pansy-ass phhhhpt.

The return label I got from Deb was for some place in MA. If both woofers sound like kazoos when playing the Petra Magoni and Ferruccio Spaghettini tune below at full volume, that was mine.

Ian had the team tune it for plumpy bass when placed mid-room. So when it was placed in a corner, all 20 pounds of it skipped across the room like Angus Young on bennies. It now sounds great like the N2.

Do the batteries remove from it so you can charge the battery in a different location? Or is it on board charging within the unit itself only?

On board charging only.

I get 19 hours on the N2 at 40% volume and 8.5 hours on the N3. 40% volume is plenty. You can get a twin battery for the N3 to take you up to 17 hours.
