The 541 Surround Controller provides very high quality crossovers for the subwoofer. For best results you should remove or disable any crossover in the subwoofer, and leave the surround controller set to Sub Narrow. Even if you cannot bypass the subwoofer crossover we recommend you leave the surround controller set to Sub Narrow to use the surround controller’s crossover, and set the subwoofer crossover to its highest setting (eg 200Hz). For more information see To specify the type of subwoofer, page 39.
