Thank you for the humility and sharing your learning experience.

Good morning Kpaceguy. It's "damping", not "dampening". Damping is an influence within or upon an oscillatory system that has the effect of reducing or preventing its oscillation. In physical systems, damping is produced by processes that dissipate the energy stored in the oscillation. Dampening is getting something wet. 🤗✊🏾 The Rythmik has quite a few controls! I'm glad you got it properly dialed in.

I subscribed because of how you took the time to explain the WHY you set your settings the way you did So much great info for people that are just getting into HT Great video 👊🏽💪🏽

Good going, research and steady improvements is the way to go. Get the best you can from any equipment set!

To say you had it set up the way you did and still loved it the way you did says a lot about how good that sub is.

Great video. I don't have this woofer. I have a much older servo type from Velodyn. 18" however that will wake up a room or two. 😊 I'll definitely have to check my little selection of options. 🥋🤛🤛🤛

Appreciate you covering these seemingly daunting settings.

Lol - I just found an issue with my settings on my Rythmik E15s and I recommend you check yours again as well - check the switch normal and dual - I also had my set to normal but if you are using LFE you will get better higher frequency response in dual - normal is for stereo so unless you are using a splitter for RCA it will reduce signal power - Normal also invoked the crossover and was rolling off highs on my subs at 80-120hz but when set to dual it is flat to 250hz - I let Anthem and ARC handle EQ work - I also recommend using quick measure in ARC G to confirm and compare - may want to check out the new ARC beta if you haven’t already - it is a big upgrade - auto phase made a huge difference for me

Good video, I just did the same with my SB3000’s… I changed the system from HT to 2 Channel… There is a lot to these subs.

Keep an open mind and never stop learning ... awesome.

For years I thought the LFE out would only work if you used a disc with LFE effects so I just used the regular sub outs.

DIY look at GSG subwoofers, I have one 18 mini marty and its enough for a 16x12 room

Glad I finally found your channel. Terrific content. Thank you.

So far the set ups been pretty good but my question is if I’m using the RCA in the subwoofer should I use the XLR would it sound better or the same?

most of those settings are Not available on many subs in the hands of most consumers..they tend to have volume , crossover and phase if ur lucky and thats it... that rythmik has some sweet customizations!!

Great job bro & I have the E22 and when you have time I needed your help! 😎👍

I wanna ask, is the G25 worth the extra grand over the G22? I've read that people have said the dual opposed config minimizes the tactile output and that the G22 provides almost no tactility. Does the G25 lose out on the room tactility as well?

This is a great video. I’ll keep this video in mind.

REL ACOUSTICS... if you happen to be going through these comments, please send this guy one of your subs.

Low dampening allows the driver more movement for louder volume. High dampening uses more force to bring the speaker into ideal placement for a tighter more controlled sound… it’s actually easier to damage the components with high dampening at high volume. To protect the speaker, use rumble filter and limiter. Dampening is the reason to get a rythmik, but it’s adjustable if you want to go loud vs accurate.

Music and movies don't mix on a set subwoofer setting! Good advice!

Rythmik has a plethora of settings. I love how these subs can be finessed!

I have 2 FV15 Piano Black. I’m about to set them up again. They aren’t set right.

That thumbnail pick got me weak When i postion my subs i do the butt crawl meaning i put the sub at my listening spot play the sub while i crowl on my front floor back n forth and side to side until it sounds best i will have a video on this Paul as P.S. audio wants me to post the video also lol

Great job bro but that subwoofer takes to mush work to setup!!😂 lol

GR Research sells Servo Plate Amps. If I’m not mistaken he sources them from Rhythmik. I think he sells them as part of kit but I’m sure if you reach out to him he would sell you just a plate amp.

SVS & Rythmic should have a child, Imagine the Rythmic you can control via an App.

I would have thought the servo controls would stop it getting damaged either way based on what I had read of Velodyne literature, but perhaps I was mistaken.

Dude! I have never seen a sub with all of that in the back!

A case of RTFM? lol, it happens...

Obviously, someone who is not overly troubled by the use of adverbs!

You should call it the Rythmimic. :)

Smallish? I wish I had the space for that. It’s hard to visually hide something that size even if I had the space.

Brian the owner of Rythmik says limiter should always be on and rumble filter should always be on. Just saying 😭😅🤣. 12hz with AVR is good and low damping for HT.

I love my 2 Rythmik FV18 Rev2 paper cone subwoofers

I've never seen a sub with all these features .. is it a professional model ? It must cost a fortune !

😎👍

Rythmik subs have so many tinkering controls on the amplifier on the back. Totally understandable.
