What recievers allow sub Xover settings?


I have a H/k AVR 230 and cannot set the sub xover or get a test tone from it for the sub. Can you tell me which companys make recievers that allow for this?

many

almost anything that's mid to upper level in just about any of the major manufacturers' offerings will have a variable xover. entry-level models will often only offer a fixed xover.

The HK 230 has a triple crossover.
Setting for the center, mains, rears.
If you set those all to 80hz anything below that will be sent to the sub.
Do you have everything hooked up correctly.
Cable going from receiver(sub 0ut) to Input on back of subwoofer.
Subwoofer is powered on?

etc

Sub is turned on in the receiver's speaker setup and at least some of the speakers are set to small? Adjustable x-over isn't going to make any difference if you get no sound.

Whenever the x-over is in use, it is working for both your sub and whatever speaker is it doing bass management for.

What I'm saying is with pre-amps like lexicon, Anthem and most other high end pre-amps you can select the point you want your subwoofer to take over. I know I can set all my speakers to small and say for example set the all to 80hz, but i would like to be able to set the subs crossover at say 30hz and lower just for example. I can't do that with the H/K, can't afford a high end pre-pro so wanted to know if there were any recievers where you could actually set the sub cxover or just have a little more control than the H/k.

What would be the point of having two different x-overs? Your speakers would not blend with each other and you would end up with a gap.
