I have the panasonic sc-ht930 home theater sys. I am using it in my rec room with speakers other than those that came with the sys.
Can I add an equalizer to the sys to bring out the bass in the speakers other than the attached subwoofer or do I need a crossover sys of some kind?
If so, where would the equalizer be hooked up to the receiver in order to get the effect of all speakers connected?
TIB's are notoriously rigid in their design. An EQ would go in between the source and the amplifer, typically in a Tape Monitor loop if a receiver is powering the speakers. This unit has nothing like that.
The manual implies you can record OUT to a tape deck and play it back (later) through the AUX but that does not mean you can send a signal out and get it back simultaneously as a real tape Monitor would do. Attached in the prescribed configuration, your EQ would be signal-starved as soon as you selected AUX. Dead silence would be the result.
Even if it was a true Monitor circuit, the change imparted would be to the entire program and anything down stream, including the subwoofer, would be affected.
A crossover could be used with a few high-end receivers or complete separate components and bi-amped speakers only.
Many people want to use an EQ with their modern multi-channel Digital Sound Processing gear but at best an analog 2-channel EQ (or any other processor) will only work with analog stereo sources. On most receivers, simply selecting the Tape Monitor disables all digital inputs. However, most DSP can still be employed with stereo source material and a 2-channel processor, with varying degrees of aesthetic pleasantness. Beauty is indeed in the ear of the beholder.
