Cross Over Frequency VS. High Pass Filter???


Underhanded Penguin

Recommended Posts

Hi. I'd appreciate any help I could get on this topic. I'm getting a PW2200 sub next week and I have a dEnon 1802 Receiver that has a Sat to Sub crossover frequency set at 80hz. Now The sub also has something called a high pass filter (@80hz) line out to the receiver line in. I asked the salesman what this was and he said that it would filter out everything below 80hz from the mains and send it to the sub. Is this not the exact same thing as the sat/sub crossover? I asked the salesman this and his response just didn't make sense. So could I get some clariflication here? What is the difference between the two? Thanks a lot guys. Thanks theears, cuz I know you'll probably respond.

upenguin, the high pass on a sub only applies when u use it's outputs, such as setting sub no on your denon & running from the fronts output terms to the sub & then from the sub to your main/front speakers.

i just hook up the sub line level to the sub preout & hook their mains to the fronts terminals. i do this, set sub yes & fronts & all others small. also i switch

out the low pass crossover on the sub. if your pw doesn't have this switch then u could just turn it's crossover all the way up to like 120hz.

whatever works for u. some experimentation w/ the bass mgmt may be necessary.

though i'm looking forward to getting a preamp where I can control the crossover points & slopes to all speakers from it.
