Setting the satellite cut-off frequency (SAT Highpass)

Depending on the bass capabilities of the speakers, the frequency range of subwoofer and speakers can overlap between 50 Hz and 150 Hz. A bump or a gap in the frequency response and thus a lower sound quality will be experienced if the system is not matched properly. In addition, small speakers and low powered amplifiers will particularly be affected by the low frequency signals, which again has an negative effect on the sound quality. Therefore it makes sense to limit the bass range of the connected speakers (called “satellites” in this case) by a highpass filter. The Dynaudio Sub 600 provides three settings to achieve this:

Flat = no limitation

60 Hz = frequencies below 60 Hz are cut-off

80 Hz = frequencies below 80 Hz are cut-off

To set the cut-off frequency:

Switch SAT Highpass control to needed position.

Note: In most audio-video-systems the satellite cut-off frequency is already set in the bass management of your processor/receiver. Please see the operating manual of your processor/receiver for further information. You can decide whether you use the processor/receiver or the subwoofer for setting the cut-off frequency. Just take care, not to set it twice by setting either of them to Flat.
