Setting up crossovers in pure music manual#
For example, when Daniel Kumin reviewed the DHC-80.3 for Sound & Vision, he noted the following about its automated setup: “MultEQ XT32 set the Integra DHC-80.3 pre/pro for a 40-Hz main-channels crossover, and 50 Hz for center and surrounds, all of which reflect honest assessments of my speakers’ abilities.” So, despite what Integra’s manual might say, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 auto calibration can indeed set speaker crossovers to points other than 80 Hz for the individual channels in systems that include a subwoofer. My speaker system is based around full-range B&W CM10 towers (powered by 250-watt mono amps) and includes a single subwoofer. Do I still need to choose an 80 Hz crossover point for my setup? Also, is there a point in upgrading to speakers with more powerful bass if I do cross them over at 80 Hz? -Bill Wong / via emailĪ I’m not sure of the context of that quote from the Integra’s manual, but when you run Audyssey MultEQ XT32 auto-setup in your system the routine should select the appropriate crossover points separately for the front, center, and surround speakers.
Reading the manual, I learned that I should set the speaker crossover to 80 Hz because “Audyssey recommends that speakers are ALWAYS set to Small when there is a subwoofer in the system.” This apparently allows for proper bass management and more headroom in the receiver or amplifier.
