Setting the satellite cut-off frequency (SAT Highpass)
Setting the satellite cut-off frequency
(SAT Highpass)
Depending on the bass capabilities of the speakers, the frequency range of subwoofer
and speakers can overlap between 50 Hz and 150 Hz. A bump or a gap in the frequency
response and thus a lower sound quality will be experienced if the system is not matched
properly. In addition, small speakers and low powered amplifiers will particularly be
affected by the low frequency signals, which again has an negative effect on the sound
quality. Therefore it makes sense to limit the bass range of the connected speakers
(called “satellites” in this case) by a highpass filter. The Dynaudio Sub 600 provides three
settings to achieve this:
• Flat = no limitation
• 60 Hz = frequencies below 60 Hz are cut-off
• 80 Hz = frequencies below 80 Hz are cut-off
To set the cut-off frequency:
Switch SAT Highpass control to needed position.
Note: In most audio-video-systems the satellite cut-off frequency is already set in the
bass management of your processor/receiver. Please see the operating manual of
your processor/receiver for further information. You can decide whether you use
the processor/receiver or the subwoofer for setting the cut-off frequency. Just take
care, not to set it twice by setting either of them to Flat.
