What should I set my crossover frequency at?
What should I set my crossover frequency at?
Set the crossover point around 10 Hz below the lowest frequency your speakers can produce without issue. (keep in mind that the most common recommendation for crossover frequency is 80 Hz).
What should I set my speaker crossover to?
80 Hz is a commonly recommended crossover setting because this is the generally accepted point at which it becomes difficult for humans to localize a sound. However, it takes a big driver, or lots of smaller drivers, to produce big bass.
What is LFE crossover frequency?
Low-pass Crossover: The frequency below which your subwoofer will be working. Above this frequency, your main speakers reproduce frequencies for anything sent to the LFE or sub channel. The low-pass crossover is typically variable from 40Hz to somewhere around 160-200Hz.
What’s the best LPF setting?
As a general rule, the Low-Pass Filter should be set at a value approximately equal to (or below) 70% of your main speaker’s lowest frequency response. For example, your speaker’s frequency response goes down to 43Hz. 70% of 43Hz equals 30.1, so you should set the subwoofer’s low pass filter to 30Hz.
What dB level should I set my speakers to?
Generally, the best level to set your speakers to is 75 dB. The most reliable way to check the levels of your speakers is by using a device known as an SPL meter. Your receiver is likely to have a wide-band pink-noise test tone built into it, which is specifically for checking the dB of your output.
What frequency should I set my lfe to?
The LPF for LFE is the low pass filter setting for the LFE channel. Normally this is set to 120 Hz, since that is typically the upper limit used by DVD mixing engineers.”
What frequency should I set my subwoofer amp to?
John, I recommend using the 24 dB/octave low-pass filter of that amplifier as the main crossover for your sub, set around 80-100 Hz. So, set the receiver’s sub channel low-pass filter at 200 Hz with a slope of 6 dB/octave for the least interaction between the two active crossovers.
Do crossovers make a difference?
A crossover divides an input signal into two or more outputs of different ranges of frequencies, so tweeters, speakers, and subs will each get only the range of frequencies they were designed to play. If you want to run an “active” system, however, you’ll need a more sophisticated crossover.
