Speaker X-Over (Crossover) Configuration
A little theory before we begin. Think of a crossover as a dividing network that sends low frequencies to one speaker (usually the subwoofer) and higher frequencies to another speaker (your front L and R speakers, etc.) If this is a bit too technical just remember that a crossover lets the drivers (the domes, cones, ribbons, etc.) in your speakers work efficiently to reproduce only the frequency range they were designed to handle. Your Model 1070 lets you set different crossover points for front, surround, and surround back speakers so you can enjoy the best performance with the speakers you’ve chosen.
To make these settings as accurate as possible, you may want to consult the owner’s manual for your speakers before entering the crossover settings. Look at the specs for the speakers and find the lowest frequency each speaker can handle. That is the number you want enter in this menu.
