sivadselim Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Lowpass Enable or Disable LFE. For the RSW subwoofers. Im new to my rsw10, and I still can't figure out the settings. Need some help with this. thanks It's pretty simple. Did you read the manual? http://www.klipsch.com/media/products/owners-manuals/RSW%20Sub%20Bilingual.pdf If you are sending the sub a signal from a bass-managed source, such as an AV receiver or processor, then you want to DISABLE the subwoofer's cross-over (actually a low-pass filter). This will allow the line-in to be used as an unfiltered LFE input. The subwoofer's variable "crossover" control will not have any effect whatsoever upon the input signal in this configuration. If you are NOT connecting the subwoofer to an AV receiver or processor's "LFE" or "Subwoofer" output, and are instead sending the subwoofer a full-range, non-bass-managed signal, then you'll need to ENABLE the low-pass filter, as you will need to use the subwoofer's variable "crossover" control to adjust the subwoofer to the roll-off frequency of your other speakers in this configuration. So, basically, if you are using a component's "LFE" or "Subwoofer" output to connect the subwoofer, then you would want to DISABLE the subwoofer's low-pass filter. If you are using a component's front L+R pre-outs to connect a subwoofer, then you will want to ENABLE and use the subwoofer's variable low-pass filter (crossover control knob).

sivadselim Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Low Pass Enable............Disable LFE shuts off low freq. effects........... Huh? RTFM! http://www.klipsch.com/media/products/owners-manuals/RSW%20Sub%20Bilingual.pdf "shuts off low freq. effects"??????? WTF?!?!?!?!?!? Would you mind deleting your post? If you want to help people, that's great, but your post is dismissive, vague, and, most importantly, WRONG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxsubwoofers Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Yes I read the manual. I have an Panasonic SA-XR25 that has a sub out. So that means I have it switched to disable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should take it a little slower on details of hookups to make it less confusing,There are lots of beginners on here that are new to AV/audio,Yes if you have a sub out connection coming out of the back of your receiver that will be a low pass,and this connects to the lfe input of your subwoofer,If you connect the cable from your receiver subout to the high pass of your sub connections, you will be working on a set 80hz settings most common on subs,On most recevers you can adjust your cutoff you like the best,You will also gain a 4 to 18db gain depending on manufacture using a double cable left/right,If you are using a single cable from your sub out from receiver, you can pug it in to your sub left or right channel with out any gain.Cheers [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are completely incorrect in understanding how his (and perhaps some other) subwoofer works. His subwoofer does not have a separate LFE input versus the L+R pre-ins. His subwoofer has a toggle switch that allows him to ENABLE or DISABLE the subwoofer's low-pass filter(variable crossover knob). So he (thxsubwoofer) is correct. Since he is using a receiver with an "LFE" or Sub" output, he should DISABLE the subwoofer's low-pass filter, thereby bypassing the subwoofer's low-pass filter altogether, and letting his receiver do the bass managing with it's own digital crossover.

But people should just simply refrain from posting about subjects they either have no experience with or just plain misunderstand. I currently have an RSW series subwoofer and feel qualified to answer the OP's question. Don't know about the other guys. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats right i forgot the rsw has no lfe input.But the low level inputs can be used as lfe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxsubwoofers Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'm sorry that I'm new to the RSW series subwoofer []. Another question, my receiver has no crossover settings? But I can control the subwoofer volume level from the receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevellerh Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have the same problem (no crossover settings on my amp)... I find it much better to use the low pass filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
