Various Settings
• The crossover function is a filter that allocates specified frequency bands.
• A high-pass filter (HPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are lower than the specified
frequency (bass range) and allows higher frequencies (treble range) to pass through.
• A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are higher than the specified
frequency (treble range) and allows lower frequencies (bass range) to pass through.
• The slope is the signal level at which frequencies that are one octave higher or one octave lower
are dampened.
When the 4-speaker layout is selected, it corresponds to basic speaker systems which comprise
front speakers, rear speakers and an added sub-woofer if necessary. In such cases, the crossover
can be used to apply the HPF to the front and rear speakers and the LPF to the sub-woofer so that
the sound from all speakers merges properly.
When the 3 way layout is selected, the adjustments can be made to suit speaker system where the
front speaker, rear speaker and non-fader output can be switched between Hi, Mid or Low output
and the speakers can be combined according to each range (treble range: tweeter, medium range:
Mid, bass range: woofer) to provide 3-way playback. In this case, the crossover function can be
used to adjust the playback ranges so that the HPF is applied to the treble-range speakers, the HPF
and LPF is applied to the medium-range speakers, and the LPF is applied to the bass range
speakers so that the sound from all speakers merges properly.
