Using a subwoofer: If you plan to use a subwoofer with your CX monitors, you will need to filter out low frequency sounds so that only the subwoofer plays low-frequency sounds (the CX monitors will only play midrange and high-frequency sounds, in this scenario). This needs to be done so that the subwoofer and CX monitors do not both play the same low-frequency sounds, causing a greatly exaggerated bass response within your studio.
- Page 11 HF Trim Switch This control allows you to boost or attenuate (reduce) your CX monitors’ high frequency response above 3kHz. This switch can be set in the following ways: This default setting leaves high-frequency signals unaffected (high frequency sounds are neither boosted nor attenuated). +2dB This setting boosts signals above 3kHz by 2dB.
