Bluesound Powernode 2i and Subwoofer options? Active/Passive?
AnsweredI have a Bluesound Powernode 2i and I'm thinking about adding a subwoofer. What I'm not sure is whether I need to look for an active or passive subwoofer?
I know I will get recommended the Bluesound Pulse Subwoofer, but I can't afford to pay almost the same price for a subwoofer than I paid for the Powernode, so am looking at a more budget friendly option. So I want to know if I need an active sub or if a passive one will be fine
Thanks

Hello James,
You would need an active subwoofer since the POWERNODE only outputs a line-level SUBW OUT (a sub with either RCA IN or LFE IN would work -- for an RCA IN you would need a y-style RCA cable to connect the single-ended SUBW OUT on the POWERNODE to the RCA IN on that sub).
I would recommend one with on-board crossover settings so you can adjust the crossover from the sub itself.
