![]() But if you have unit that hums even with no input, you''d have to suspect there''s a problem with it. Having everything off the same power outlet source and short cable runs also helps. It sounds like that system may have been a matched set where they usually run the crossover a bit higher than a typical sub but most new subs will have a variable crossover for a fairly smooth integration with your satelite speakers. Apparently, CSW has decided that, in the 21st century, it is a good idea to eliminate technology. From what you say a new sub would be in order, one with more power and larger woofer so it can take more abuse or fulfill your user demand. CSW eliminated these interfaces which seems to be the root of the problem. Fortunately, I don''t have any of the hum problems (yet) that others have mentioned, though I would have if I hadn''t put a DC-Block on the Broadband Cable that is tied to the system. The previous Cambridge Soundworks speaker I owned, which recently died on me, had a 3.5mm line out to my sound card, and an RJ-11 type of line out for a volume control. As I use the auto-on feature, the BSC doesn''t power until some time later, silently. There is a pop when I turn off my system, but that''s from the source. Long Shot Here - Need Schematic for old CSW 'BassCube' 12S. Since I''m using it with a fairly small set of speakers, power won''t be a problem, either. ![]() And, I don''t have to spend 20 or 30 seconds looking at the manual. I bought Cambridge Soundworks BassCube 8 sub today for 15.00 at Good Will and hooked it up to my Yamaha YSP-800 which i had bought at another second hand store for 40.00 without the remote and mic, but using a Logitech 520 remote that handles all the options and used my Sony mic to test and calibrate the system, the sub works great for my room, i am more than happy, it rocks. As its used, I probably don''t have to worry about it dying a month or two after its out of the box. But, I thought $21 (Taxachusetts) was worth a shot, and, if it was broke, it would be a donation to a good cause. When I happened on this at Goodwell, the price sticker was missing, and I didn''t know if was operable or not.
