When you run your input through the sub does it send a highpass from its output when sending to the monitors?
A shopper
on Jun 26, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Thanks for your interest in this studio sub. The output are high pass when the sub is active. By using an optional latched foot switch you can turn the sub off. Doing this will pass full range signal to the output.

Actual measurement demonstrates the control labeled "LOW PASS FILTER" is just and only that. The unit does not have a full fledged 'CROSSOVER' as there is no elimination of low frequencies. i.e. highpassed signal, from the main monitor outputs regardless of setting. Management of Monoprice should investigate whether the manufacturer has overstated the 605999 Studio Sub capability on page 5 of the manual.

Yes. This is a studio subwoofer that will properly set your crossover point. For example, I own a pair of Tannoy Reveal 802 monitors which goes down to 45Hz. So, I just turn the crossover knob all the way to the left which is the 50Hz setting on this subwoofer. This should save wear and tear on your monitors especially if you like to crank up the sound since full range will not be playing through your monitors. And what's equally is important is setting your subwoofer volume to match your monitors. I use an SPL meter to get volumes right. A sub bypass foot switch is good to have also.

If connecting a mono LFE XLR source to the XLR inputs does it matter if you use L or R? I assume no need to use both.
New User U
on Apr 16, 2018
I wouldn’t imagine it matters which, but definitely try both first. The sub source is gonna be a stereo sound and the output isn’t summed from the sub so I imagine the device you’re putting it into will do that part. But if you say only put left it will only have the left channel. So do both the mono device will sum it. Mono does introduce phase issues tho, so if you have things mixed incorrectly they will cancel when summed to mono.

When the sub is powered off, does it send the full range signal to the outputs? Or, does the sub need to be on and the foot switch used to fully bypass the sub (most of the time I'll be bypassing the subwoofer so I'd rather not have it on all the time).

If I understand you correctly, here's how it works. If sub is powered off, power switch, no power will go to the secondary outputs,. If the sub is powered on and the footswitch is engaged, it will bypass the sub and send the signal to the secondary outputs. I have used this sub for a few months now. It has gone beyond my expectations. good luck to you. Monoprice products have gone above my expectations and I'll continue to seek them out first for new audio components.

When the sub is off there's no output passed through. I imagine you'd have to get/make a reverse footswitch that instead uses the sub, alternatively, you could use a preamp that'll let you A/B (Schiit SYS comes to mind) and run 2 inputs to your monitors (if possible).

I wound up acquiring a miniDSP HD to gain variable high and low pass crossover capability via its digital domain crossover.. The miniDSP also provided parametric EQ, also done in the digital domain, which has been instrumental in implementing room correction along with acoustic treatment bass traps.

Sound wise, it seems that it is high-passing the XLR outputs. Turning the volume of the sub down to zero sounds different than pressing the bypass button with the foot switch.

I assume the L+R "channels" are summed to mono anyway, so they are already "combined." Probably the best way to connect a consumer receiver with a RCA sub or LFE output is to buy an active RCA XLR converter box. Use the shortest high quality shielded RCA cable 3 foot or less at the receiver and then use XLR to reach the subwoofer. This should avoid ground loop hum and also give you the +4 dB level you need to drive the sub at full output. I have never understood why people designed subwoofer outputs of receivers with anything other than XLR outputs. Anybody who has ever tried to use pro audio subwoofers or active studio monitors has found it essential to convert everything to XLR balanced as close to the source as possible. Otherwise you end up with hum and AM radio interference. These converter boxes are widely available from many manufacturers so just do a web search and look for good reviews.

victor c c
on Jun 26, 2017
BEST ANSWER: What exactly is your set up? With a standard single sub setup, you'd do Audio-Interface L+R (outputs) to Sub1 L+R (inputs), then Sub1-L (output) to Monitor-L (input) and Sub1-R (output) to Monitor-R (input). If you have two subs, label them Sub1 and Sub2.. Send Audio-Interface-L (output) to Sub1-L (input), Sub1-L (output) to Monitor-L (input). Then, send Audio-Interface-R (output) to Sub2-R (input), and Sub2-R (output) to Monitor-R (input). In other words: Don't send L+R to a single sub. Call your subs "Sub1-L" and "Sub2-R" and send one channel to each.

To avoid confusion: Monitor = studio monitor = speaker. Also -- the Sub1-L/Sub2-R setup described above will give you stereo bass associated with the correct channels, but bass is mostly non-directional so it wouldn't be the end of the world if the channels got mixed somewhere in the chain. Moreover, since Sub1 and Sub2 are only acting on 1 channel each, you can use whichever in/out channel you want for each of them. I specified L and R because it makes things easier to keep track of during setup.

No, i would use y cable from your one sub out from pre-amp or receiver. If you have two pre-outs then the y cable is not needed. at the single cable end going into the subs you will need another rca y cable to go into red and white inputs.

Does the high pass follow the crossover setting or is the high pass at a fixed frequency and the crossover setting only varies the top end of the low pass.? This is asked because there is at least one studio subwoofer on the market, by a major brand, that fixes the high pass at 80 Hz and the crossover control only impacts the low pass extension, apparently as a cost cutting measure.

Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the cutoff frequency to a maximum of 150Hz. Rotate the knob counterclockwise to decrease the cutoff frequency to a minimum of 50Hz.
I connect sub to the preamp out and the amp for my monitors to the sub outs, rolled off slightly above my monitor’s lowest rated response. This has been the best setting for my current location.

Use shielded cables, and always favor 3 contacts (TRS or XLR) over 2 contacts (TS, like a guitar cable) since the third connector is used to deliver a stronger signal and cancel out interference..

Where is the external fuse located? No power to sub following a power outage.
A shopper
on Feb 28, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The fuse is located in the power input part. Unplug the power cable from the speaker (from the wall first, of coarse). Use a small flat head screwdriver to remove the bottom section on the plastic below where the power cord plugs in. Remove old fuse and replace with new identical spec'd fuse. Push plastic back in to the receptacle.

When using SR studio monitors, is this sub more suited to the 5 inch version or is it still beneficial for the 8 inch version?
A shopper
on Jan 3, 2020
BEST ANSWER: 5 " version. The 5" acts more in the mid range area and the sub can grab the lows.
I'm running dual subs with JBL 305s and they work great.

In the product description on Amazon, it says the frequency response goes down to 30 Hz, but then a few lines later says 20 Hz. Which one is it?

BEST ANSWER: I don’t have a way to check, but this subwoofer sounds sweet rolling my super zeros off and subwoofer on at 100hz.

Can this work off an avr for a 5.2 system just for music listening?
A shopper
on Jan 13, 2021
BEST ANSWER: This is an excellent sub, especially for the money!
However, to my understanding, the functionality of 5.2 (vs. 5.1) is not in the encoding so much as in the wider placement of sub frequency sources; i.e. you need two subs properly spaced to get the benefits of 5.2 Audio.
Buy 2.

Would this work in a5. 2 setup for audio listening run off an avr with a mono out for subwoofer?
New User U
on Jan 13, 2021
BEST ANSWER: If you are running speakers off an avr with a mono-out I don't think you're running 5.2. Mono out means it's 5.1, no matter how many cabinets are on the .1.

Good sound but non-working frequency cutoff to monitors
Good sounding subwoofer for the price but the manual overstates it's flexibility. In Controls and Connections, it says in line number 11. that the Low Pass Filter will determine which frequencies are cutoff and sent to the outputs. This does not happen! You get both the sound of the subwoofer and the full range of the monitors regardless of where you set the Low Pass Filter. If you want to be able to do true A-B comparison between just your monitors and your monitors with subwoofer and rolled-off monitor out, forget it. It makes the footswitch option, that I really wanted, useless.

Really nice
I've recorded in some of the best studios from coast to coast. Been at it for over 40 years. This little thing kicks. Now when I say that I don't mean to imply that it sounds like a live PA System. I mean set at the correct level it helps to round out your mix and takes the guess work out of the Bass Guitar and Floor Toms. Really helps you to get them mixed with the kick. I haven't tried any keys with it yet but I'm sure it will be a big help there too. If you mix any Rap it will be a big help in setting the low end. I paired it up my my 305's. Haven't tried it with my 308's really don't need to. A sub is to help you hear what you are missing in your monitors. If you crank a sub too loud your mixes will most likely transfer with no low end. Think compliment not take over. You shouldn't need to turn a sub up very loud at all. 200 bucks! Ya can't beat that!

Oh, yeah. This was one of my better life choices!
To be honest, I could have used something smaller - "someone" wasn't paying attention to the overall dimensions. (heh)
A big reason for the choice for me was I needed stereo XLR in and stereo XLR pass through. Few studio subs have this feature in this price range.
Now, I DID make it fit (sort of) and it is amazing. My recommendation is to start much lower than you might think - even if it will be a pain in the rear to adjust it. It adds a dimension standard near field monitors for casual listeners just can't touch.
Bottom line... this is a great sub to for people who just want to play music while using their computer and don't want to bother, or expend precious office space, with a dedicated receiver/amp etcetera.

Big Bang for your Buck!
I have lots of experience integrating subwoofers into home-audio and in professional sound systems. I personally own several active and passive subs and tactile bass shakers for use in my project home-studio, home-theater setup and sim-racing rig. The Monoprice 10inch Powered Studio Multimedia Subwoofer offers more value and performance than many of the more recognized brands and for less than half the cost.
I highly recommend it and I'm not affiliated with Monoprice in anyway. I'm just a satisfied customer.

Good performance so far
Haven't had too much time to work with it, first one had to be replaced due to broken cover. Seems to work well, max volume would be too much for my small space. Not marking review lower due to cover issue as this can happen with any shipped item.

Powerful
This is a great sub! I already owned the Monoprice studio monitors so connection and setting up was flawless, it sounds great and very powerful, I was listening to some music the other day and my wife thought I was playing my bass guitar and asked me to turn it down, and it wasn't really loud at all, it projects the bas frequencies really well, very happy with the purchase

Great addition to my studio
I added this sub tomy trusty pair of Fostex PM1s in my studio. While I'm not doing mixing or critical listening, I've always missed some low-end. Now I can distinctly hear bass lines and kick drums has a clear presence. Setting the crossover properly has really cleaned up the spacial separation, allowing me to pick out more elements of a given mix. It would pretty hard to complain about this unit for the price. It's a lot more power than I really need, but it sounds pretty amazing. My only complaint is that it could have been packed with more padding.
