Crossover Setup (Continued)…
Crossover On/Off Switches:
Sub Output Crossover Off
Full Range signals will be sent to the sub. You will need to adjust the
crossover frequency on the crossover that is built into your subwoofer.
Sub Output Crossover On
The highest frequency going to the Sub is determined by the setting of the
Low Pass frequency knob.
Main Output Crossover Off
Full Range signals will be sent to the Left and Right speakers.
Main Output Crossover On
The lowest frequency going to the Left and Right speakers is determined by
the setting of the High Pass frequency knob.
Crossovers and the Bypass Input
The High and Low Pass Crossovers are always off when the Bypass Input is selected. In this
case the high and low pass filters are not active because you will want to use the bass
management you already selected in your surround sound receiver’s setup menu.
Where to start with Crossover settings
If you don’t know where to set the High and Low Pass Crossovers, these settings are a good place
to start. From here you can experiment until you find a combination that sounds best to you:
No subwoofer
Set the High Pass Crossover switch to Off
The Low Pass Crossover will not be used so this setting does not matter
When using one or more subwoofers and your Left and Right speakers'
woofers are 6.5” or smaller
Set the High Pass Crossover switch to On and the frequency knob to 80Hz
Set the Low Pass Crossover switch to On and the frequency knob to 80Hz
When using one or more subwoofers and your Left and Right speakers'
woofers are larger than 6.5”
Set the High Pass Crossover switch to On and the frequency knob to 50Hz
Set the Low Pass Crossover switch to On and the frequency knob to 50Hz
