3. amplifier This amplifier module matches perfectly with the characteristics of the other components The subwoofers are best used with an external crossover which filters out the mid high frequencies This way your subwoofer can focus on reproducing bass frequencies while your normal fullrange speakers receive an optimized mid high signal As your fullrange speakers do not need to reproduce low frequencies anymore you will notice a slight positive change in sound quality and quantity The internal 35mm distance pole adapter makes it possible to increase the distance between your subwoofer and speakers The subwoofer stays on the ground due to its weight and acoustical benefits while your speakers can be placed on a sufficient height This way the high and mid frequencies can be spread more evenly over your audience and the soundwaves will project further To make sure that you are able to enjoy this subwoofer for a longer period of time pay attention to clipping amplifiers and distorted sound reproduction Speaker overload or distortion from clipping components may cause permanent damage to the speaker system The B115 and B118 subwoofers require an external power amplifier which provides sufficient power to your subwoofers Devine recommends the use of a powerful amplifier with more capacity than needed This way the amplifier does not have to work at full capacity to provide the subwoofer with sufficient power The B115 and B118 subwoofe
