c.Crossover: After adjusting the
e. Fine Adjustments: At this point you may find that a position or two higher on crossover will sound better with the overall volume a position or two lower. This will produce a slightly “warmer” bass contour while the opposite of having the volume a bit higher but a crossover setting that is slightly lower will produce a “faster” and more powerful lower bass output. This final fine adjustment process is of personal preference and thus listening to a couple different pieces of music should be used for this step.
Note: It is usually better to use a lower crossover setting with slightly higher overall volume settings in order obtain the optimum in room bass extension. Since all speakers have different performance in all rooms and with different associated other equipment, it is impossible to determine what the final setting for the crossover, gain or even phase will ultimately be. The only way to properly setup this device, or any other piece of a fine audio or audio/video equipment, is by listening.
Thank you and Happy Listening!
