Hi folks,
To begin with let me wish y'all a very happy new year!
I have an Onkyo TX-NR 616, Polk Audio TSi 400 and a Velodyne Impact 10 Sub.
I bought the setup after the house was done up, and I didn't want to hammer anything into the walls, so I was kind of restricted in my positioning of the speakers and sub (because I didn't want to re-cable anything)
Currently I happen to have a longer (10 meter) RCA cable that a friend bought for his setup.
Yesterday, just to check the sound, I moved the sub to a corner of the room and connected the longer RCA cable.
The effect was MIND-BLOWING! IT FELT LIKE THE VELODYNE WAS ON FIRE!!! THE WINDOWS OF THE HOUSE WERE RATTLING!!! I was almost sorry to move the sub back to it's position; it seems pitifully inadequate now!!!
Now since last night I'm thinking how to move the sub to the corner without making the house look ugly!
I see two options:
1) The corner already has electric connectivity. So that problem is solved. Regarding the signal cable, I can ask the electrician who did up my house to check if he can run the RCA cable through the same ducting that uses the electrical cable. My questions are: will this cause any interference to the Sub's signals and can it be mitigated by using shielded RCA cables (if so please post links to these)
2) This product: Rocketfish - Wireless Subwoofer Transmitter/Receiver Kit - RF-WSW312 | Rocketfish It's basically an RF converter. Questions are: Is the signal transmission over RF faithful enough and/ or does it cause any interference to other devices in my home such as mobile phones etc.
