Darien Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 So I just bought some Mirage Nanosats, 5 channels and a SVS subwoofer SB12 Plus. The Nanosats have a frequency response of 110 Hz to 20KHz. Should I set the Crossover on the sub to pick up where the Nanosats leave off? 110Hz? All responses are encouraged.

wuzzzer Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 That would be best in your case. Technically 110Hz is a little high to set a sub because you run the risk of being able to localize the bass since the subwoofer is playing at a higher frequency than is ideal. Unfortunately if you set your sub's crossover much lower than 110Hz you'll end up with a hole in the sound between your crossover setting and the 110Hz lowest point of your Mirage's.

Darien Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks Wuzzzer, If the Mirages go to 110Hz, then is 110Hz the crossover point or should 100Hz be the ideal crossover point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 The frequency response of speakers are many times listed like this: 110Hz-20kHz +- 3dB. What that means is that 110Hz would be the '3 decibel down' point. Usually the output below that point drops like a rock with most speakers. So more than likely even at 110Hz the speaker is playing 3 decibels lower than frequencies above that point. Considering that, I think that again in your case 110Hz would be the best blend without causing any dropouts in sound around the 110Hz range.
