Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions One more question regarding crossover frequency

Thanks Will. I'm going to experiment with both settings this weekend...as well as calibrate my system with the Avia disk that should get here tomorrow. That oughtta be fun!!

Just leave the mains set to small. That way for movies the crossover is active and you are not feeding that ultra low bass to your mains.

For music, if you want to use the crossover on the mains, i.e. high pass filter on mains, then use "stereo mode" and you will not have an overlap. If you want full frequency to mains while still using the sub (same as LFE + Main) then use the "direct mode" - this mode sends the sull signal to the mains and uses a duplicate of the signal to feed the sub after running through the low pass filter.

At least that's the way it is on my Denon 3805, but I can't imagine your 4802 is much different.

When you sub is calibrated properly you should have a flat frequency response in stereo mode, while direct mode will have increased dB in the range of the overlap between your sub and mains.
