Initial Set Up

CROSSOVER NETWORK

The following steps show you how to adjust the crossover network. The crossover network is the frequency at which the system divides the signal and sends the different parts (high, mid, low) to different speakers. Speaking precisely, this setting sets the cutoff point for the bass frequencies rerouted from your SMALL speakers to your subwoofer or speaker set to LARGE. If continuing from CHANNEL LEVEL go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.32) first.
