John, The x30 only has mono subouts, you'd need two of them. There's an easier solution: instead of spending $200-300 on 1-2 external crossovers, just sell your VS2.4a for ~ $300 and pickup a pair of NHT 2.5i towers for the sickly low $595/pair at 6ave.com before they run out. For those...

Will, If you set your sub at 40hz, isn't the DC1 redirecting the 40-120hz LFE to your mains?

Will, You set the DC1's sub lowpass at 120hz?

Tom, The Lexicon gives you three lowpass choices for the sub channel: 40, 80, or 120hz. Since the LFE goes up to 120hz, if you lowpass the sub at 40 or 80hz, then the processor will send the "remaining" LFE to the mains (so you don't lose anything). Since I have my sub at 80hz, the LFE...

John, I set Sides to Large with BE to ON, but sub to NONE (not LFE to none, as the LFE was redirected to the sides). Basically, I didn't notice much, if any improvement, from BE...if anything, maybe a little less bass. Not even room can benefit fully from BE. And I like having the Sub...

John, I have 1.5 sides (using, 80hz) and superzero rears (using 120hz). It's good to set the highpass crossover 20-30hz above the speakers' -3dB point. Superzeros are spec'd to ~ 20k hz, so you can definitely set them igher than 5.8k for the rolloff.

John/Shawn, Phillip told me in another thread that his fact sheet was written before the correct Lexicon info was available. With sub to none, the LFE would be sent to speakers designated Large, which would be the sides. I already tried integrating my subs with sides as Large speakers...

I see that John reduced the surround frequency roll-off from the default 6.9khz to 5.8khz. I am currently using 14.6k. Why does Lexicon have this setting so low? What are other Lexicon users rolling off their rears at?

Shawn, Do you know who makes the LX5/LX7 amps for Lexicon? Are DSS and DVDs considered PCM? I question DVDs as PCM because 2.0 LDs sound better than 2.0 DVDs because LDs are PCM...and therefore, DVDs are not? I know that the PCM duplication exists in stereo for sure; would it also exist in...

Shawn, Thanks for the write-up, I followed most of it. Probably would have been a little easier if you used "Sub" instead of Contrabass and "side subs" instead of Titans. If JohnT set his mains to 40hz and all other speakers/subs to 80hz, his subs reproduce the LFE below 80hz and his mains...

Michael, No worries mate....I'm sure Shawn Fogg will be here soon enough :) btw, are you leaning towards the Bryston or the Anthem? John, I only have one dd-ex dvd, Star Wars, and use the 5.1 Logic7 mode. You might even want to try the THX-Surround EX speaker setup (all speakers at 80hz)...

Michael, Phillip Brandes wrote this in an AVS thread (which you also posted in!): http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...hlight=lexicon "Hi Ricky, As I recall, the bass management algorithm on the MC-1 routed LFE to the front speakers if no sub was present. If you apply a crossover to your...

Michael, On page 24, it says that by setting the center to SMALL...."this will automatically engage the Bass Split feature which takes the low frequency content from the center, and distributes it to the left and right front speakers...." In the Theory and Design brochure, page 8, Bass Split...

Michael, So the sub channel is duplicative for PCM sources. Only CDs and LDs are PCM right? And DVDs and DSS are not, therefore would not have any duplication at any frequency? If so, JohnT can set his 2.9s to either Large (or 40hz) and turn-down the subwoofer setting for 2 channel to his...

Michael, The Lexicon literature states for Logic7 (and a couple of other sound modes), the bass from the center is redirected to the side speakers, not mains. I thought the LFE is only directed to the sub and speakers set to Large? Are you familiar with NHT 2.9s? 4 way towers with...

John, Congrats! The MC1 should please you for a very long time. Remember to cross your center at 120hz, and rears/sides at 80hz. For your critical 2 channel, try the NHT 2.9s at 40hz...perfect point to integrate your svs subs. And you can set the independent subwoofer setting (just for...
