Detroit Kid Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I have a Sony STR-DE575 (doesn't allow crossovers to be set). Is there any way I could find out what the crossover settings are at? I don't see this info anywhere in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 dk, i'd say there's about a 99% chance its 80hz, both high pass to the speakers set small & low pass to the sub outs. of course if you set any speakers large they bypass the crossover & play to their full range. but then you probably will get muddy bass because your large speaks & sub are interfering w/ each other across the same freq range. i have a sony de935 in the bedroom & know its 80hz. thought it said so in the manual. plus 80hz is usually it (though yamaha uses 90hz) because thx used that as their standard for small satellite speakers & sub. i know, if we have bigger speaks/woofs that sucks. that's why its my biggest peeve w/ many receiver makers.

boa12 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 "You da audiophile!" i just got into digital, surround a few years ago. but i'm on my 3rd receiver/prepro. so i learned about stuff like this first hand & from research (this is a great info source for one). but i'm sure many here are tired of me harping on this adjustable crossover & bass mgmt thing. so ideally you need to demo & experiment w/ settings at your place. iow, everybody's ears & tastes are different. the bass mgmt may not even be that much of a biggy for you.

boa12 Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 thanks men. glad if i can help. just try to be frank w/ my opinions yet i've learned to tread more lightly. hard to help sometimes w/o stepping on toes. but i'm an activist on this crossover adjustability issue w/ our big speaks. some in the industry must wake-up. that adjustability in the dsp crossover is really a low cost feature too. that was the main feature that 1st drew me to b&k. then i heard them w/ klipsch.
