RE: Oh the thump

Posted by SpotcheckBilly12345 on April 14, 2017 at 13:09:18:


Subs that thump during turn-on are not necessarily "the signature of Poorly designed gear .. period."

That statement is painting all subs with a very broad brush.

Servo subs thump on turn-on. That's just the servo engaging ...... it's the nature of the beast.

My Velodyne ULD-15 Series II has been happily thumping every time I fire up my HT system for about 20 years. Perfectly normal ......... I'd worry if it didn't thump when I turned it on. It even says so in the owners manual :-)

Cheers,
SB
