X-Over - AudioControl Director M6800D Installation Manual

X-Over

Here you can adjust the range of
frequencies that play through the
selected output. Each box allows you
to type in the desired frequencies or
you can adjust with the +/- buttons for
a Kubrikian level of detail. The high
pass filter can be set between 20-
15000Hz, and the low pass between
30-20000Hz. Pressing the Default
button returns the crossover to it's
default full range setting, and the non
interactive icons below help illustrate
how the highpass and lowpass
features work.
To prevent stressing woofers from
frequencies lower than they are
designed to safely handle physically,
use the subsonic filter. For inwall
speakers in relatively compact
footprints (not exotic floor to ceiling
inwall line arrays) we recommend a
setting near 40 Hz or higher. Contrary
to popular thinking, a higher setting
contributes to making this low
frequency filter sound better. Similarly,
for delicate tweeters, conservative
settings with the high-frequency filter
that protects tweeters could prevent
service calls. The M6800D is capable
of easily delivering vast amounts
of power to any type of speaker
(do not be fooled by the M6800D's
lighter weight, Class D amplifiers are
deceiving). A 2-way crossover can be
set up with a subwoofer dedicated to
the low end, and a pair of speakers
playing mids and highs. Enable the
Low Pass Mode filter, and bridge two
zone channels into a single, high-
powered mono subwoofer channel.
These combined channels will receive
only the low frequencies (monaurally).
Use two channels from another zone
to power a stereo pair of high-range
speakers with the High Pass mode
(like from Cheech to Chong) selected
for that zone.
