CONTROLLING YOUR SUBWOOFER
USING THE APP/FINE TUNING (cont'd)
Bypass: engage if you intend to use your receiver/preamp's bass
management to set a low pass filter.
Third Order: If you are using the subwoofers left/right inputs, select this
option to use a third order crossover to adjust the roll off characteristics
of your subwoofer's upper frequencies as they approach the low-pass
filter frequency setting. A third order filter has a slope of 189dB per octave
– a slow roll off than a fourth order. For most applications a third order
corssover is ideal.
SETTINGS: Lets you select the subs control
functions: volume, low pass filter, phase, room
correction and more.
Volume: Adjusts loudness of your subwoofer.
For most applications, a setting between –14dB
and 0dB is adequate.
Sweep: The Sweep feature is useful for locating
areas in your listening room where troublesome
rattles or resonances may occur. Pressing the
pause button pauses the subwoofer at a specific
tone frequency and also allows you to set a
specific tone frequency.
Low Pass Filter: Applied to Left/Right inputs
(Not LFE). This setting allows you to select the
frequency (point at which the filter starts) and
order of the Low Pass filter. (The order of the
filter refers to how steep the roll off it is, each
additional order noted is another 6dB of roll
off per octave, 1st order is 6dB, 2nd order is
12dB, etc.) These settings depend on how low
your main speakers play. It is often best to set
to bypass and use your receiver/preamp's bass
management settings so there is no overlap or
missing information between the main speakers
and the subwoofer.
