Question about Denon AVR-X3500H
What exactly is Pre-Out and can/should I connect active or/and passive subwoofers here? What type of cable is necessary between this receiver and an active/passive subwoofer? I just don't understand how/where to connect a subwoofer here. I read LFE input and low level input on different subwoofers. Don't have the overview unfortunately. Thanks in advance for the info!
very simple. nothing complicated. you connect the subwoofer to the receiver via chinch cable. this receiver even has 2i connections for 2x a subwoofer. just plug in the cable and you're done. my tip, don't buy cables that are too short depending on the tv furniture, otherwise it will be very tight from the receiver to the subwoofer.
Great question, fortunately I have refrained from using a sub until now. It seems to be complicated!
According to the manual (http://manuals.denon.com/AVRX3500H... for 5.1, 7.1 also has only one sub, therefore the same setup), you have to connect the subwoofer to the pre-out you described. The same connection is also found on active subs and seems to be a cinch? Pre-out means signal without amplification (in contrast to the banana plug connections at the bottom for the other speakers).
Regarding cables, I only found the following: Inakustik Premium Y-Subwoofer Cable (3m, Premium, Cinch) A Y-cable with two cinch on one side. The sub has as many inputs as the AV outputs.
According to the following source (https://www.heimkino-praxis.com/subwoofer-...), Y-cables are common for subs because the latter have the typical two inputs red and white. If you only have one (=mono), I would simply plug in one connector of the Y-end, as this does not seem to make any significant difference according to the source.
