benweblight Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 ive been looking and the new 2.1 setups at my school (we have intereactive whiteboards) unlike previous installations, the sub is hung, in line with the sattelites, even to the left of them in one is there something tragically, unprofessionally wrong about this, or is it just me being misinformed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmonk Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 what do you mean?subs being flown? thats quite normal depending on the type of sub, some subs are designed to fly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanG Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 There is nothing wrong about it, but you'd get a 3db 'half space' efficiency gain if they were on the floor. If you don't need that gain and have a flat-ish system with them flown - fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 ...I would have thought flying the subs would put extra strain on the mountings?? with the vibrations, I know that my subs make stage stage shake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 forgive me for asking some daft questions - but: why would an inteactive whiteboard need subs? Are we talking about a simple computer soundcard output to a small sub and couple of satellites running low power or a proper sub? If it's a typical computer version - what could be better than the one I saw advertised last month 500w output - mains or AA battery power!paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a standard system they fit with all of them to allow the pupils to hear whats playing on the source. Does your 500W one specify how many AA batteries it needs, or indeed how many seconds it runs for on battery power. PN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benweblight Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 thankyou for reinforming me, just an assumption of mine peters nailed it pretty muchon the head, when I say interactive whiteboard, theres a whole mini av setup involved, the computer is hooked into a little cheap av switcher, along with a video/dvd player sometimes, the white board is not self sufficient as it were, its linked to a program on the computer to do its 'magic' also we have a 2 sattelite 1 sub (u know, home cinema kind of thing, these ones were creative), forsound for videos or sound from computer (mainly powerpont sounds, would you believe) is it worng for the port to be facing forward and the speaker to the left, acause theyve done that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
