Is 100hz crossover too high?

So the LOWER limit for the Crossover Frequency would be TWICE the bottom end of your regular speakers. If they are rated down to 30 Hz, the Crossover Frequency should be no lower than 60 Hz. If they are rated down to 50 Hz, the Crossover Frequency should be no lower than 100 Hz, they may be rated only down to 80 Hz.

Is 80Hz the best crossover?

Setting your A/V preamp processor, or receiver to small for the satellites and sub on is best in most situations. With Bass Management the sub is implemented in mono and all the satellites in theory play a 20Hz-to-20KHz bandwidth, so 80Hz is a good crossover point.

What crossover frequency should I use?

For subwoofers: the recommended crossover frequency is 80 Hz (low pass). This a good low-pass frequency that ensures the subwoofer bass is prioritized without including any midrange sounds. It is best for low-end bass. For main speakers: the recommended crossover frequency is 56-60 Hz (high pass).

What does 120hz crossover mean?

By default, the LPF for LFE is set to 120hz, which ensures that the entire spectrum of the LFE channel will get sent to your sub. The purpose of the crossover setting is to redirect bass below the crossover point in the L/C/R and surround channels to your sub.

Should I set my subwoofer to 120Hz?

Yes, set the LFE to 120 so you don’t miss out on anything the mixer intended you to hear thorugh the sub. The rest of the speakers, use whatever is appropriate for their capabilities.

What is the best crossover setting for subwoofer?

Tips for Setting the Proper Crossover Frequency of a Subwoofer

• If you know your speaker’s frequency range, set the crossover point roughly 10 Hz above the lowest frequency your speakers can handle cleanly.
• The most common crossover frequency recommended (and the THX standard) is 80 Hz.

Which is better 80 Hz or 100 Hz crossover?

As long as your mains are OK to 80 Hz or lower, then you do not want to go any higher. And whatever they are capable of, you would want to crossover over at the next frequency above the -3dB point. You want that crossover as low as it can be without having holes in your response.

What happens if LFE crossover-80 or 120 Hz?

* If 80 Hz is selected, then won’t the frequency range 80-120 Hz be filtered out, thereby the sound level for that frequency range will be lower than the recording intended? * If 120 Hz is selected, then as I understand it the sound in the range 80-120 Hz will be directional.

Is the 120 Hz crossover a low pass filter?

The 120 Hz setting is a low pass filter and should almost never be adjusted. Lowering it below 120 would in fact filter out content, but as I understand it there is very little content in this area on the LFE channel on most soundtracks. The crossover determines the level the content that will be filtered from the speakers to the sub.

What is the correct crossover-80 or 120?

Any bass that should be produced by the speakers, the 80-100hz zone, would be re-directed to the subwoofer anyway (remember re-directed bass ) and summed with the LFE, all played by the subwoofer, its just the re-directed bass isnt hot like the LFE bass is. I hope that was clear enough and I havent confused anyone even more.
