Rotel 1068 processor and crossover freq.

StanB · 09-23-2005, 09:29 PM

I have a Rotel 1068 processor. I have set my crossover points of my speakers to 80 Hz. The processor also allows the setting of a crossover point of the subwoofer. What should I set it as? Or should I not have a crossover point for the sub. Thanks for any advise and explanation of why I'm asked to set a crossover for my sub when I've already set crossovers for my other speakers.

Thanks,

CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/
100Hz/120Hz/150Hz/200Hz): Typi-
cally, the RSP-1068 uses a single master set-
ting for the high-pass and low-pass crossover
point between all SMALL speakers and the
subwoofer. This master crossover point is set
on the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu described
in the following section. When you first ac-
cess the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu,
the current master crossover point will be shown
on this line. Change the value of this line only
if you want the current speaker to have a dif-
ferent crossover point. For example, if your
master crossover is set to 80Hz, but you want
your front speakers to crossover to the sub-
woofer at 60 Hz, you would select 60Hz for
the front speakers on this line. This setting ONLY
affects redirected bass and does not affect the
LFE channel in any way. The OFF setting (avail-
able only for the subwoofer) sends a full-range
signal to your subwoofer so that you can use
its built-in low-pass filter.

Setting the subwoofer crossover to 80 Hz sets the crossover points of all speakers to 80 Hz. You can then override this setting for individual speakers in advanced speaker setup. But if you've already used advanced speaker setup, it looks like there's little point to setting the "subwoofer crossover". I think...
