I need advice on implementing the following:
Source -> miniDSP 2 x 4 Kit (unbalanced) -> ICEpower 1000ASP -> Dayton Audio UM15-22.
The source would be a Marantz AVR with sub pre-out.
The miniDSP has 0.9V output which means I'd need a buffer.
First question: would it be worth while implementing a buffer that would convert the unbalanced miniDSP output to a balanced input for the 1000ASP or is this overkill (which I suspect) since the units would sit right next to each other in the amp enclosure.
The amp's datasheet includes this statement: "The output stage is a full bridge topology with a 2nd order filter meaning the power output on the terminals Vo+ and Vo- is balanced." and "The balanced speaker outputs are both “ hot ”. It has 2 sets of these. The UM15-22 is the dual 2 Ohm VC model which I would probably have to wire in series to present a 4 ohm load to the 1000ASP. Second question: with this being a mono amp, how are these two outputs to be connected to the "single" voice coil sub?
Thanks in advance for the help!
