Speaker Mode

Allows you to select to use only your A speakers, A and B, or A and Sub(s) (referred to as Subwoofer mode).

Subwoofer Settings

If selecting Subwoofer mode, use this section to adjust your crossover settings.

Tip Remember that in a speaker crossover network, the crossover frequency is the frequency point that represents the upper or lower range limits of a given speaker driver. In a two-way speaker system, the crossover frequency would be the point where the low frequency driver begins to roll off and the high frequency driver starts to cut in.

Figure 4.1

Note Reducing the buffer size can decrease the amount of latency while monitoring and recording audio. Increasing the buffer size can reduce and /or eliminate some audio artifacts such as pops and clicks while recording.
