Source Setup | Settings |
Filters High Pass |
Filters provide easy bi-amplification or subwoofer integration by adding the required filters to redirect bass frequencies to the subwoofer.
High Pass: Low pass signal up to 150 Hz is attenuated and over 150 Hz sent to the speakers. This is based from 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley Crossover Filter @150 Hz.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If different crossover filter settings are required, it is recommended to use the filters built into the connected external Powered Subwoofer. Experiment by reversing the polarity of the Subwoofer or use a combination of filters, for example, the High Pass filter built into the C 388 and run full range to the Subwoofer and set the Crossover filter setting on the Subwoofer itself. Note that changing the level can also change the crossover frequency, so experimentation is the only way to get an optimal result.
Full Range: Refers to the whole frequency spectrum capability of your C 388 and speaker system.
