What freq crossover for KLF-C7?


J Tanman

Recommended Posts

I have the 2 KLF-20s for front mains, and a KLF-C7 for center, and 2 RS-7s for surround on the way. Both the KLF-20 and the RS-7 can easily go lower than 60Hz which is where I plan on setting the receiver crossover at, but the C7 is rated only to 75Hz. Is it still safe to set it at "large" 60Hz or will I have a gap in the center channel? I could try to set it at "small" 80Hz, but my sub will start to fall off above ~70Hz. Any suggestions?

Do you have a subwoofer? If so, I would set it to small, if not, large should work. Another member of the BB has his set to large, and he likes it. Says the frequencies are all there.

Do some experimenting, and let us know.

right now i have my C7 set small. just got the new B&K ref 30 pre/pro & think i know what u mean w/ these adjustable crossovers in the pre/pro's or receivers. as w/ my B&K u probably have to set the cross same for all speaks. i did freq sweep on my C7 front center & it had good output all the way down to 50hz. no tech measurements w/ meter though.

i'd set the cross & speaker sizes where they all sound best together. that's what i'll do. imo shouldn't be concerned about losing anything on a front or rear c7 as it will go lower than 75hz & no mixer in their right

mind should put much low bass in just a center channel only.
