I'm sure my family will be delighted...!!!
Maybe have them move the sub around the room while you sit and watch
I'm sure my family will be delighted...!!!
I just finished building my new L/R fullrange speakers, and i have overdone the bass capability a tiny bit. They way overpower my current 4x12" subwoofers. Therefore i want to try a subwooferless surround-setup.
Now its time to build the center channel, but i am not sure if they need to be quite as big as the L/R.
My question is: If subwoofer set to "none". Will the LFE-content be directed to all speakers set to Large, or just L/R? My main speakers are capable of 115db down to 30hz. Should the center channel be able to do that as well?
Just to say a massive thanks for the advice, I've moved the sub and it's like having a whole new system it's incredible! Who'd have thought?!Maybe have them move the sub around the room while you sit and watch
I have dali zensor 3 fronts.
Svs pb1000 sub.
Onkyo rz800
I run accueq.
Auto config leads me to zensor as 50hz crossover.
.
Is this ideal? Would not damage my zensor 3?
Ive read here that 80hz is the ideal crossover setting for bookshelves
I'd suggest you set your speakers as being SMALL and increasing the crossovers associated with them to 80Hz.
Hi bro, so i will change them and not rely on accueq?
It isn't really an issue with AccuEQ. THe calibration simply sampled the roll off associated with the speakers during the test tone output and this resulted in the crossover settings the calibration arrived at. It is usually advised you override any auto bass management configurations after an auto calibration and this will not effect the room EQ adjustments.
Tried changing to 80 but i like the output when it is set to 50..
Should i retain the 50hz? Any negative effect?
You'd be slighly reducing the speakers' headroom in relation to upper frequencies because the lower frequency drive units can daw more power than the upper frequency drive units.
Hello, what crossover is best for me? and pls explain why
Reciver: Yamaha rx-830 (crossover: 40,60,80,100,120 etc)
Front: Yamana NS 555 (35-35.000hz)
Center: Proson Reality Center 32 SA (50-32.000hz)
Surround: Yamaha NS-333 (40-35.000hz)
SUB : Yamaha yst-sw012 (20-200HZ)
Just to add a couple points to this. 80Hz is as much about speaker and subwoofer phase integration as auditory frequency localisation. You can actually run a clean subwoofer higher than 80Hz and not be able to localise the bass from it, assuming correct set up.80Hz because this is the point that the human auditory system starts to localise frequencies and you are better off leaving the sub to deal with frequencies at and below this point. Low frequencies are harder to amplify and the power needed can result in the upper frequency drivers within a speaker having a lower headroom. There's no benefit to having speaker deal with these frequencies if you've a sub that can make a better job of it whilst also giving your other speaker better headroom in relation to frequency.
Alright, sounds reasonable. BUT if i want to disturb my neighbours less, should i lower volume on sub it self or set crossover to 60hz to rather play more low hz in my front spekerars while listen to music?
Left and right front speaker: 50-26.500 Hz
Center speaker: 47-26.500 Hz
Subwoofer: 40 - 120 Hz
Going to use the speakers with a Denon X2300W and bypass the crossover knob on the subwoofer. What are the acceptable crossover setting ranges on these speakers? I did not understand.
It is generally suggested to set the crossover at 80Hz for speakers that are rated able to go down lower than this. I'd therefore suggest 80Hz as being a good place to start with the speakers you have.
The subwoofer has a separate setting. Set the crossover on the subwoofer itself to maximum or bypass, and set the LFE crossover for the subwoofer on the AVR to 120Hz.This is on all speakers or just the subwoofer? After reading your introduction, I understand that my speakers need to be set as "small".

The filter onboard the sub is for all intense pur[oses surplus to requirements. If being used with an AV receiver that has its own bass management then you'd always set the sub's filter to its highest possible setting or a dedicated LFE setting in order to prevent the sub's filter interfering with the already filtered output from the receiver.
Only the audio channels associated with speakers designated SMALL will be subject to the crossover filter applied by the AV receiver. The crossovers determine at which frequency to redirect the signal away from these speakers and out to the sub. Set the crossovers to 80Hz and all frequencies at and below this will be redirected away from speakers you've defined as being small and the frequencies will be sent to the sub to deal with. If you set speakers as being LARGE or FULL RANGE then the receiver's crossover filters will not be applied to the associated channel.
Note that apart from the redirected frequencies associated with your speakers that there's also the signal associated with the LFE being sent to the sub. This Low Frequency Effects channel is the .1 you get with 5.1 and 7.1 audio. This channel is not filtered by the crossovers and includes low frequency effects below 120Hz. Some receiver's include a Low Pass filter for the LFE channel, but this should always be left set to 120Hz.
