Hi All

So, im starting to embark on placing my sub but for some reason there is no ouput to the sub using REW. When I play a track of music on my other input, it works fine.

Only the mains are working when calibrating..

My sub is connecting via the high level speakon cable from each mono block.

Any ideas? Basically the signal from the amps go to the sub, so I cant see how it cannot get signal?

Thanks

when in preferences, and you are calibrating, under levels is it set to use subwoofer to check levels or use mains to check levels?
they will send a different tone.....

if your subs are working when playing music, there is no reason why they should not be working whilst using rew

Its odd. It works fine if I use the low level input cable (RCA), but will not work if I use the high level speakon cable....

Mind you, music works with BOTH options... very bizzare.

I tried Sub and mains for levels.
