Setting the satellite cut-off frequency (Highpass)
Depending on the bass capabilities of
the speakers, the frequency range of
subwoofer and speakers can overlap
between 50Hz and 150Hz. A bump or a
gap in the frequency response and thus
a lower sound quality will be experienced
if the system is not matched properly.
In addition, small speakers and low
powered ampliers will particularly be
affected by the low frequency signals,
which again has an negative effect on
the sound quality. Therefore it makes
sense to limit the bass range of the
connected speakers (called “satellites”
in this case) by a highpass lter. The
Dynaudio Sub3 provides three settings
to achieve this:
• Flat = no limitation
• 60Hz = frequencies below 60Hz are
cut-off
• 80Hz = frequencies below 80Hz are
cut-off
To set the cut-off frequency:
Switch SAT Highpass control to
needed position.
Note
In most audio-video-systems
the satellite cut-off frequency
is already set in the bass
management of your processor/
receiver. Please see the operating
manual of your processor/receiver
for further information.
You can decide whether you use
the processor/receiver or the
subwoofer for setting the cut-off
frequency. Just take care, not to
set it twice by setting either of
them to Flat.
