JBL SRX828SP
« on: August 03, 2017, 03:36:51 PM »

Sorry if this I am putting this in the wrong forum.
Question: Does anyone know if it is okay to daisy chain the JBL SRX828SP to itself.

The sub has 2 XLR inputs for channel 1 & 2 each. They both have direct XLR outs. Can I daisy chain channel 1's direct out to channel 2's input?

I am guessing it would be fine for instances where I am not running a stereo signal.

Thanks,

Bruce, you could do this, but there is no reason to.  There are two input channels so a single sub can be used with stereo full range top speakers by using the "thru" outputs.  Plugging in stereo and on thru gets both left and right signals into the sub where they are summed to mono.  These are only input channels for the sub and are not connected to two separate amps in the sub.  The sub itself is always mono.

Got it.
I thought with only 1 input I was using half of the sub.

thanks for the explanation.

We do this with a Y cord, but chaining the two channels does the same thing. It offers a 6db measured increase in SPL. I'm sure you could get the same increase by adjusting the attenuation, but it's easy enough to do and it makes me feel like we're getting everything they're worth.

When I use a 'Y' cord I always feel like I am splitting/cutting the signal in half.
Whenever possible I stray away from adapters. Empahsis on 'whenever possible'

You are not losing any signal when you Y, UNTIL you start to Y a lot.

A good rule of thumb is that as long as the total load impedance is 10x the source impedance, you will not have signal loss.

Of course if you were to plug into both of the inputs of the OP speaker, then the impedance load that the source "sees" would be half of a single channel.

It DOES NOT get you 6dB in overall SPL, ONLY a 6dB gain in sensitivity, at the expense of more setup time.

So it just takes less drive voltage to get to a specific SPL.

The max SPL WILL NOT increase any amount.

When I did this I measured an increase in volume of 3db. That was with the output volume all the way up.
